The Arlington County Board has filed suit against HOT lanes claiming the government failed to do a full environmental impact assessment.
Democrat Arlington County Board Member Chris Zimmerman (Marty Nohe’s mentor) is the person that pushed the lawsuit.
Will MP ever cede to PWC , iI have heard that PWC nor CIty of Manassas want no parts MP.\
Our home values have been totally squashed as a result of 1.65 tax rate.
why can no one see if they take a hit now and get out rate in line that the values will go up in turn getting money back into the city.
dam frustrating
“Will MP ever cede to PWC , iI have heard that PWC nor CIty of Manassas want no parts MP.”
All it would take is a vote to disincorporate as a city, and MP would revert to what it was before it incorporated: an unincorporated town, part of PWC. The only way that it could become part of COM, would be for it to disincorporate first, and then the COM would have to vote to annex MP, which aint gonna happen. There is this little issue of Muni bonds that MP has sold to finance some of its construction and development. Not sure how that would impact things, and whether the bond holders could sue to keep MP incorporated as an independent city.
Go thtis in my inbox, one of those “forward to everyone you can” things (which makes it awfully suspect) but don’t know if this is true or not. Anyone able to track this down?
-Bedford is the most recent city in Virginia that has apparently opted
to revert to town status. They have been working with Bedford
County and the Virginia Commission on Local Government for
over a year. Among other items, the county would be given
the responsibility of providing education, mental health, welfare
and health services.
- Unless provided by an agreement betwen the former city and county,
the town remains liable for the indebtness, oblgations and
liabilities of the former city.
- Area towns include Warrenton, Culpeper, Leesburg, Herndon and
Haymarket.
- In short, there is an established reversion process open to
Manassas Park if they decide to use it.
NLKS, MP was not an unincorportaed town before becoming a City, it was an incorporated Town with a Town Council. If it is unincorporated, then it can’t be a town. All incorporated towns are part of the surrounding countys in VA. The oldest being Dumfries which is the oldest incorporated jurisdiction in VA second being Alexandria.
OMGosh…did Obama really say that??
I’m pretty sure Obama didn’t say that, it’s a hoax…..however, it’s a very good summary of his general attitude toward American citizens and the military. Anyone who knows anything about his radical associations knows that this is exactly how they feel.
Not sure if he spoke those words … but here is some background:

Sad to say, but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he HAD said it. Our community leader….my, oh, my.
And this link deals specifically with the Obama quote. Turns out it was actually taken from a comedy sketch in the Jon Stewart show when Stewart was blasting the administration for being so boneheaded in the first place.

The well armed guy at the president’s meeting in Arizona was, in fact, imported by libertarian Ernest Hancock who has a radio program. Hancock was also the one interviewing the gun guy.
Hancock says everything was arranged with the blessing of the Phoenix PD just as a 2nd Amendment show. Quite a gag!
When the heck is the mainstream media going to tell people about Rishell’s campaign manager? Do only Republicans get any kind of attention when they hire people on their staff who glorify used condoms and promote hard-core porn?
I am so losing any respect I ever had for newspapers. I guess they got all caught up in the latest homeless person who saved a cat from drowning, or some such meaningless rubbish to have any chance to talk about the actions of people who actually are running for office.
A waste of trees, I tall you…
“”"”When the heck is the mainstream media going to tell people about Rishell’s campaign manager?”"”"
Let her have a little run first. Then shoot her down. Its more fun that way. Sadistic but more fun.
Oh my god! First, the Democrats take over Wall Street with a financial bill… then they take over the auto industry with an automobile bill… then they take over real-estate with a home loan bill… but now they’ve gone too far!
I just heard on the news that now there is a hurricane Bill! Just what I don’t want, the Government running the weather! Will their meddling never stop!
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/weather/08/21/hurricane.bill/index.html?eref=igoogle_cnn
Perhaps the Republicans are rising to the occasion as I understand this ill-conceived “Hurricane Bill” is running out of steam.
I’m just saying… thanks for exposing this travesty. I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you… by this ruthless Democratic power grab! I won’t let them control my weather! I called Connolly’s office to ask him what’s going on. His receptionist hung up at the mere mention of a “Hurricane Bill”… such rude behavior. They will certainly lose my vote (at least, if they ever fix that rule about felons that prevents me from voting). I’m a loyal, dependable Democrat who votes early and often (at least, I would if it weren’t for that felon thing).
I hope you all join me in protesting yet another example of “Big Government’s” attempt to control every aspect of our lives… even the weather!

Over on anti they are getting all high and mighty about Obama being compared to Hitler by some conservative commentators.
Funny, they didn’t complain a bit when a few of their favorite attack dogs went and called people who were in favor of the resolution Nazis, and compared certain county supervisors to Hitler!
Can’t wait to see gotthardt go and get all up in arms about comparing Obama to Hitler. It will just show what a hypocrite she is. So are the rest of the antis - they kept quiet while she and others went on and on about how the county was full of Nazis, and now they’re complaining about Obama being compared to Hitler! What a bunch of hypocrites!
The following is the way they think on anti - it’s perfectly all right to compare your enemies to Hitler and the Nazis, but god forbid one of your friends are spoken of that way! Hypocrisy at an all time high! Only on anti!
They sure do love to make up stuff about Rush. He never compared Obama to Hitler, he compared the proposed Healthcare bill to the Nazi Healthcare program and found a lot of similarities. The left then went nuts and felt they had to lie about what Rush actually said, because what he actually did say makes Democrats look pretty bad.
Typical. How many times have we seen this before?

5) I have new flowers and fruit prepared and presented to the entire staff each and every day.
6) I want illegals to be put on a path of citizenship
7) I want illegals to be covered with Health plans.
9) I can not convince others to team with us or help us through hard times no matter how many times I tell them that we have done stupid thinks and the American people apologize

CAN YOU GUESS WHO I AM???
I just watched Glenn Beck, Government Intrusion of August 17. He talks about healthcare. He pays for 100% of his employees converage (good for you Glenn). And he is complaining about healthcare reform, but he mentions that his healthcare costs to his company have gone up 40% one year, and 47% the next year - not sure how a company can survive while the healthcare costs increase to that magnitude several years in a row. The thing with Glenn, is if he looses coverage, he would have issues covering his own daughter, because of pre-existing conditions.
I’ve seen many comments in reference to Jeanette Rishell and the Bull Run Unitarian Universalists.
She is indeed a member, Jeanette Rishell Bull Run Unitarian Universalists Congregation, member and Board Liaison http://www.jeanetterishell.com/biography.
The confusion is assigning the word church to the Bull Run Unitarian Universalists. The Bull Run Unitarian Universalists are not a church as they are not founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Matthew 16:16-18. In fact Unitarian Universalists do not accept the title Christian. Here is a quote from Dr. Walter Martin from his book, “The Kingdom of the Cults”(copyright 1965, 1977,1985 forty-sixth printing 1992, Bethany House Publishers) page 502: “As was previously noted, the Unitarians merged with the Universalists and have publicly announced that they are not altogether sure whether they can classify themselves as Christians. In fact, some of their leaders have not hesitated to disclaim the title of “Christian,” where Unitarian theology is concerned.”
Unitarian Universalists deny the authority of the Bible, God’s Word, they also deny the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ and deny the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. More on that later.
To get an idea of Unitarian Universalists beliefs will shed light on Rishell’s beliefs and ideolgy. Government run health care, cap and trade, abortion on demand and gay marraige are championed by UUs. These issues are supported by Rishell.
You can bet that if she held office she would vote based on her beliefs.

Patty -
You are correct. At “BRUU”, they hold pagan worship services. They teach “religious” education classes to children, which includes polytheism, Buddism, Hinduism and paganism. They don’t hold to the belief that there is only one God and there should be no others before Him.
Didn’t BRUU hold a “gay prom” recently? They are also proud to have Katherine Gotthardt as a member - she of the “everyone is a Nazi/racist/Xenophobe/Hitler/Klan Member who doesn’t agree with me” over on anti -

I am looking at the list of posters on here this thread. I don’t see anyone getting high and mighty nor have any of these people, to my knowledge, called anyone a Nazi. Have I overlooked anyone?”
Yep - you missed Katherine Gotthardt, Rebecca and Shelly B - but they have yet to post on that thread, so I guess she is right on a technicality.
The anti folks have a lot of nerve getting indignant over the use of the Nazi term - when several of their favorite posters use it all the time! It is interesting none of those 3 have posted on the Nazi thread.
Pelosi started the whole Nazi thing in a bid to discredit town hall obamacare critics as astroturf rather than grassroots. The dem controlled Hiil never intended for their healthcare reform/ insurance reform/public option/co-op or whatever they now call it to be available and open to citizen review. It was never about health, medical or otherwise. It was about control served up as care.

Jeanette Rishell and the Bull Run Unitarian Universalists
It is interesting to note that UUs do not consider the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. They deny that it is divinely inspired and infallible. Yet they will quote verses out of the Bible to support their own beliefs. They start with their own belief system then they will take Bible verses out of their own context to support their predetermined belief. So even though they do not believe the Word of God is authoritative they will use Scripture verses out of context to support their beliefs in an authoritative way. That is why you will often hear them quote Bible verses.
Dr. Walter Martin in his book “The Kingdom of the Cults” indicates that in 1955 “Look” magazine conducted a survey of the major religions in the U.S. to ask what they believed about Christian doctrine. A Dr. Carl Chorowsky was appointed by the Unitarians to answer the questions on this survey. One of the questions dealt with whether the Bible was divinely inspired. Here is a quote from the book (The Kingdom of the Cults by Dr. Walter Martin, forty-sixth printing April 1992, copyright 1965, 1977, 1985, Published by Bethany House Publishers) pages 503-504:
“’Do Unitarians believe the Bible is divinely inspired and infallible?’ This was one of the key questions addressed to the Unitarian Church, and received the following reply from Dr. Chorowsky:
No. The doctrine of revelation of the absolute and indisputable authority of the Bible is alien to Unitarian faith and teaching.
It is not necessary to point out that this view of the Scripture is the same view held by reformed Judaism, Christian Science, Unity and a host of other non-Christian cults, all of whom are content to utilize the Scriptures, but in a manner never intended by the authors.”
The Bible itself claims that it is Divinely inspired and authoritative. 2Peter 3:14-16, 2Timothy 3:16-17.
UU’s may call themselves “Christian” but they deny the authority of the Word of God. They deny major Christian doctrines, such as the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Trinity and Atonement. They do not believe in the judgment of God and that the unregenerate will go to hell. UUs view of “salvation” is good works or salvation of character (pg 503, The Kingdom of the Cults by Dr. Walter Martin, see above notation).
Therefore they treat the Bible as another “religious” writing on the same level as Hinduism, eastern religions and pagan religions. When Jeanette Rishell speaks of her belief in “family” values it will be entirely different than the traditional view.

She posted it and made it sound like she agreed with it - if not she can retract the part she disagrees with. We’ll see what happens.

Fox News WAS the state run media until January 20th!!! Noe its the voice of the loyal opposition.
Disgusted,
Ha ha. Please provide an example of when they did that type of story? Exactly when did one of their anchors talk about getting a “tingle” down their leg after hearing Bush speak. Or, how it was their duty to ensure the success of bush, like was said by Chris Matthews. Or, when they ignored the relationships of Bush? Or, when they ignored the lack of experence of Bush? Or, when they bowed to Bush? Or, when they asked if they could say President Bush again because it sounded so cool to say?
Ya, that is what I thought.
Disgusted,
Or, when they called Bush a Monkey, oh, sorry one anchor really did say that about bush.

COM,
Why so sensitive? Its OK for Beck to call The Big O a racist, and Rush say he “hates America,” but when anyone states a preference for him, you guys go nuts. How come you aren’t jumping out of your skin over Beck’s insipid comment? How naive! You actually think Fox IS fair and balanced.
PS. Remember when Doocy did the goofy news on channel 4? I do!
PSS. I was just kidding about the loyal part.
Disgusted,
I’m not sensitive at all. I’m just providing you facts that the mainstream media is in the bag for obama. How is calling someone a racist in anyway showing support for Bush?
But, I love how the default position of libs is to point out how Fox is not fair and balanced, and how they are conservative. But, y’all never point out how CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, LA Times, USA Today, Newsweek, Time, U.S. News and World Report, Us Weekly, Washington Post, PBS, NPR, etc, are. Maybe it’s because those outlets are all liberal and therefore, you don’t have a problem with their coverage. Yup, it’s a shame that one station is bucking the system and has a different point of view. How dare them.
Do you agree obama made a stupid comment when he said he did not know the facts, yet provided the cops acted stupidly?
COM, you are absolutely right! I don’t know about you, but I am disgusted by
“Disgusted”. That comment made by Obama regardng the cop acting stupidly is
certainly not the only stupid comment he has made. If it ain’t on the telepromptor,
he’s on his own and that can often be a comedy of errors.
FOX is about the only news agency to provide a fair and balanced report and that’s
exactly the reason the others are going under. It can’t happen too soon.
Jeanette Rishell and Bull Run Unitarian Universalists
In my previous posts I quoted material from Dr. Walter Martin’s book entitled “The Kingdom of the Cults” in which there were direct quotes from Dr. Carl M. Chorowsky. Dr. Chorowsky was appointed by the Unitarians to answer a survey conducted by “Look” magazine in 1955. The survey was sent to the major religions in the U.S. to ask their views of Christian doctrine. Dr. Walter Martin references a book entitled “Religions of America” by Leo Rosten (New York City: Simon & Schuster, 1975) which contains articles of the “Look” magazine’s survey.
UU’s have also posted their beliefs about the Bible, God, and Jesus Christ on their own web sites: http://www.uunashua.org/100q/c1.shtml#q1
and http://www.uunashua.org/100quest.shtml
Here in UU’s own words about whether they are a Christian church:
“Liberal Christianity (from which the Unitarians and the Universalists evolved) either downplays or dismisses the idea of Original Sin, and sees Jesus as one sent from God to show us how to live better lives. Liberal Christians view God as a force for good rather than a supernatural being. They are more flexible in their interpretation of Scripture, reading it more in its historic context and giving symbolic rather than literal interpretation to many passages.
Are UUs Christian?
The answer to this question varies among UUs. Unitarians and Universalists, once liberal Protestant Christian denominations, drew away from their Christian base to embrace the principle of individual freedom of belief. Although some churches are still liberal Christian, today only about 20 percent of UUs would call themselves Christian. Thus Unitarian Universalism cannot be considered a totally Christian religion.
How do you differ from Christians?
A primary way we differ is that we do not regard Jesus as a unique revelation of God. Most UUs (even UU Christians) would reject a literal interpretation of accepted Christian beliefs such as the Virgin Birth, the miracles of Jesus and the Resurrection. While UU Christians would accept a symbolic interpretation of these events, most UUs view Jesus as a moral and ethical teacher and no more than that.”
You can go to the above mentioned websites to see these quotes.
Jeanette Rishell and the Bull Run Unitarian Universalists
UU’s beliefs from their own web sites: http://www.uunashua.org/100q/c1.shtml#q1
http://www.uunashua.org/100quest.shtml
In their own words:
“Do you believe in Jesus?
We do not believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, performed miracles and was resurrected from death. We do admire and respect the way he lived, the power of his love, the force of his example and his system of values.
Most UUs regard Jesus as one of several important moral and ethical teachers who have shown humans how to live a life of love, service and compassion. Though some of us may question whether Jesus was an actual historical figure, we believe his teachings are of significant moral value.
How do you regard the Bible?
We regard the Bible as one of many important religious texts but do not consider it unique or exclusive in any way. We do not interpret it literally. We think some parts of it offer more truth and relevance than other parts. Although UUs respect the Bible and regard some of its content as great literature, it is not a central document in our religion.
Can UUs go to heaven or hell?
Since there is no way to know for sure if we go any place when we die, very few, if any of us believe in the physical existence of a place called heaven or hell.
What about salvation? Can a UU be saved?
Salvation is not a word we use frequently.
We do not believe people are born into a state of sin from which they must be saved in order to avoid spending an eternity suffering in hell.
Since we believe in neither original sin nor hell, we do not feel a need to be saved from either.
Do you believe in a Redeemer?
No. We believe we should be judged by how well we live our lives and serve others, not in what a redeemer will do for us. We respect religious and spiritual leaders such as Jesus, Moses and Buddha for what they can teach us about living, not as redeemers in the traditional sense.”
Jeanette Rishell and Bull Run Unitarian Universalists
UU’s beliefs from their own web sites: http://www.uunashua.org/100q/c1.shtml#q1
http://www.uunashua.org/100quest.shtml
UU’s views of Christmas and Easter in their own words:
“Do UUs celebrate Christmas and Easter?
Yes, we do. The difference may be that we tie these holidays more to the changing seasons than we do to traditional Christian themes. They are honored as celebrations of the winter solstice and the spring equinox — the hope and promise symbolized by the lengthening of the daylight hours in December, and the renewal of life in spring after the winter season of darkness.
The traditional accounts of the birth of Jesus and of the Resurrection are sometimes included in these celebrations and cited as myths which contain a positive message about human life. The birth of a child, for example, represents the hope and promise found in each new life. The crucifixion and Resurrection are symbolic of how new life can emerge even after a time of pain and suffering. As with the Bible itself, these stories are not taken literally but for what they symbolically tell us about human life.
We celebrate Easter as the return of spring and the renewal of life; in this respect we draw more on the pagan rather than the Christian origin of this holiday. The New Testament accounts of the Resurrection may be cited as a symbol of the strength, power and renewal of life. We do not accept the idea of a physical resurrection.
Most UUs regard Jesus as one of a number of especially gifted, insightful teachers of humanity. These leaders have emerged over the course of history to teach us how we should live and be at peace with ourselves and each other. Jesus is not considered unique in this respect.
His death reflects a tragic and painful end of life. Because UUs have long rejected the idea of Original Sin, the belief that Jesus atoned for the sins of the world by his death has little relevance for us. Even when Unitarianism and Universalism were clearly Christian faiths, they still rejected this doctrine of atonement.”
There is a point to all I’m posting on UUs, BRUUs and Jeanette Rishell. I just want to show UUs beliefs which will make sense as to why Rishell does what she does. Knowing their beliefs about sexuality will give an understanding as to why she sees no problem hiring a campaign manager that posts pictures of condoms on their face book. More later.
I am sickened that the liberal fools are trying to bring up the CIA interrogation of terror suspects. This is a desparate smoke screen to get everyone talking about it instead of Obamacare and Cap and Tax.
Is 9-11 completely forgotten? Do we have to learn the lesson of self preversation all over again?
Jeanette Rishell and Bull Run Unitarian Universalists
Are the UU’s politically and socially active? Yes they are. Especially the local Bull Run Unitarian Universalists.
Political and social activism in their words:
“Mission
BRUU has a mission to ourselves, our community, and our natural world.
BRUU Mission Statement
Bull Run Unitarian Universalists (BRUU) exists to nurture ourselves, our community, and our natural world in the pursuit of spiritual and intellectual growth. We give expression to our mission through celebrating our diversity and giving of our talents and resources with justice, equity and compassion. We work toward our goals through an open democratic process, respecting the views of each individual and seeking to protect the interdependent web of life.
Welcoming Congregation
Bull Run Unitarian Universalists (BRUU) is a Welcoming Congregation which celebrates and supports the lives, the relationships, and the individual and group contributions of its lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender members and friends. We affirm and promote their full participation in the life of the congregation and community. We pledge our congregation’s commitment to continue dismantling the belief that heterosexuality is the only normal, acceptable, and healthy sexual orientation.
Green Sanctuary
Green Sanctuary is a Unitarian Universalist program to build awareness of environmental issues in order to promote personal lifestyle changes and community action, particularly toward rectifying environmental injustice. Green Sanctuary also strives to connect spiritual practice and environmental consciousness. We are the 20th certified Green Sanctuary in the nation.”
http://www.bruu.org/index.php?page=belief
“How active are UUs on social issues?
While it’s true that those most vulnerable to injustice in our society — the poor and the minorities — are not found in great numbers in the our ranks, many individual UUs are at the forefront of social justice issues. In addition, most churches regularly give their institutional support to many social justice causes.
Although we could hardly be considered a religion of the oppressed, we cannot be fairly criticized as George Templeton Strong said of many 19th century Unitarians, most of them members of New England’s privileged class: “They are sensible, plausible, candid, subtle and original in discussing any social evil or abuse. But somehow they don’t get at it!”
Today, we do get at it.”
http://www.uunashua.org/100quest.shtml
Pay attention to these comments:
“We pledge our congregation’s commitment to continue dismantling the belief that heterosexuality is the only normal, acceptable, and healthy sexual orientation.”
“Green Sanctuary is a Unitarian Universalist program to build awareness of environmental issues in order to promote personal lifestyle changes and community action, particularly toward rectifying environmental injustice.”
BRUUs are active in “dismantling the belief that heterosexuality is the only normal, acceptable, and healthy sexual orientation. Rishell and UUs support same sex marriage. She champions “Gay” rights causes. See http://www.bvbl.net/index.php/2006/07/25/gay-marriage-rally-planned-in-manassas/
and http://www.bvbl.net/index.php/2006/10/02/jeanette-rishell-downplays-gay-activist-connection/
More on this later.
BRUUs are active in “rectifying environmental injustice.” Rishell and UUs support Cap and Trade. More on this later.
COM,
Yup! Obama stepped on it. He had no business making that bone-headed statement and he came across as an (GASP!!) poltician trying to take advantage of a situation. What did you expect?!? The cop had no idea who the professor was, handled the situation by the book and in accordance with his training. The professor played the race card and it backfired on him. Obama saw it as an opportunity to be the great reconciler and it backfired on him. The whole thing bored me.
Your multilined response trying to show you’re not sensitive only goes to prove my point! You assume when someone criticizes, they have to be from the other side. I’m not. I am a card carrying Republican. I’m just tired of reactionary hand wringers from the right boo-hooing about how unfair the media treats them and how liberal it is everytime the left jabs. It makes us all look like snivvling little goody-goodys. Grow a set! I know when I turn on MSNBC I’m going to get the liberal slant. I know when I get FOX, I’m going to get the Republican talking points. There isn’t any unbiased media anymore. I simply don’t like FOX because of morons like Rush and Glen Beck. And Doocey is just a doofus. Its embarrassing.

UUs fully support abortion on demand throughout all terms of pregnancy.
Here is what UUs say about abortion in their own words:
“What is the church’s view on abortion?
As an institution, we are strongly pro-choice, as are most individual UUs.”
http://www.uunashua.org/100quest.shtml
Do you remember the Partial Birth Abortion Ban? Do you remember when the Supreme Court upheld the ban? For those of you who don’t remember go to this Fox News link:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,266724,00.html
Partial birth abortion is a procedure where the baby is partially delivered feet first (breech). Then an instrument is used to puncture the infant’s head while the head is still in utero or in the birth canal. The brain of the baby is then sucked out and the skull crushed. Then the baby is delivered dead. See these links for better explanation:

About two years ago I attended the Miller Rishell debate sponsored by the Committee of 100. Ms. Rishell described herself as a Reproductive Rights Activist. She likened her fight for abortion rights as a war. Yes, it is a war. The casualties are unborn babies.
So when Ms. Rishell knocks on your door and says she believes in “family values” try to remember she is an enemy combatant towards unborn children.
