Vienna Gadfly Props Up Chad Bishop's Hypocritical Life Choices

In response to this post, we got this feedback:

Get real! You all are lambasting Chad Bishop for trying to do something more for the community, when all you do yourself is sit behind a computer and blog about it. You attack his credibility and you call him ignorant when you actually know nothing about his motivations or background. As a lifelong resident of this area, with many family members involved in several community organizations, isn't it possible that this man is simply trying to be civic minded and change a downward spiral?? If you knew Chad at all, you would know that the last thing this guy is after is political power. The Town of Vienna is a gem in Fairfax County and the suburban sprawl that is Northern Virginia. What is so disgusting about a young member of the community trying to find away to help protect that? Before you point a finger, maybe you yourself should do some research. And oh, by the way- are you really going to attack his credibility as a Church Minister Because he involved with local politics? Selling his soul? Come on. One would think that having a person with a soul get involved is just what this town needs and applaud Chad's attempts to make a differnce [sic]- however naieve [sic] they may be. Besides, his political and religious convictions have nothing to do with one another- ever heard of the First Amendment? The Bishops are model community members who are doing everything they can to ensure that their children can experience Vienna and all of its charm the way it was when they grew up here themselves.

Whoever wrote the above is either a moron or pretending to be one. Bishop is making the community better by sitting on a corrupt Board that he himself admits is wrong? Explain that to us. To your other points:

1. We know his motivations because he has made them clear.
2. His background is right here.
3. In one breath you say he is not after 'political power', but then say what's wrong with being involved in "local politics". Which is it?
4. The Windover Heights Historic District doesn't have anything to do with sprawl or preventing it. The feedback above sounds like a notorious Knoll Street resident who drinks the Maud Kool-Aid.
5. Religions are all about doing the "right" thing in life. If Chad wants to be a youth minister, supposedly showing young people how to lead a proper life, we say that those same young people should know that Chad is a hypocrite in his Vienna political life. Please keep trying to separate Chad's actions in your mind.
6. You spend the time to write a rambling Chad Bishop defense, but then call Chad naive. That is a hoot!

MAYBE THE VIENNA GADFLY COULD HELP CHAD ANSWER MY QUESTION.

Mr. Bishop would you be so kind as to post the GUIDELINES and the INVENTORY of the HISTORIC HOMES in the historic district? I plan to build an accessory building much like yours (even though you needed no such extra approval). I live in the historic district and want to know what is acceptable or not. Now that you are on the Board and now that you have already started ruling on neighbors in the historic district, maybe you could tell me what I can or cannot build? Can you also let me know acceptable styles and colors?

A downward spriral??? What does that mean?

You all are lambasting Chad Bishop for trying to do something more for the community

Even I am confused. What is the something "more" Chad boy is doing? He is simply doing what I tell him to do.

Once again anyone who happens to offer an alternate point of view to the owner of this site or someone who posts here is immediately slammed as a 'moron' or foolish. Good job keeping your site open to opposing views. What you fail to recognize is Chad may be someone on a commission who might support your cause. Instead of trying to work with him to improve a situation you clearly don’t like you immediately call him a hypocrite for trying to voluntarily work for the community. This is why your cause will be little more than an entertaining website. You publicly flog those who might be in a position to help you.
