What a shame. If it was arson, they’ll catch ‘em.

May God bless the people of this church. I’m sending them some prayers and cash. I can’t think of anything more critical today.

Also it’s straight out of Saul Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals” what happened when Odinga lost, he told everyone to riot, to set fires, to promote chaos. Obama won, yet they are still not satisfied, because they are scared shitless of her, so they are producing havoc in her life, so that she won’t run in 2012. Really that is what this is all about, all the bashing, name calling, when it comes down to it these libs are scared she is gonna run for President, they see name calling isn’t working so how about setting on fire something that is so precious to her, her faith, they know how her strong faith is something she holds dear to her heart so they are trying to destroy that too

I was shocked to find this story. I was checking the local news website for weather reports, and I found this story buried there. Not even on Drudge. Its strange how quiet this is in the media. Then again, I am not surprised by the lack of coverage by the media.

The building is equipped with a fire sprinkler system, Kroon said, but the fire was burning in the walls and took hours to put out.

Fire in the walls sounds like a wiring issue.

Believe me I hope to God this was an electrical issue, a freak accident. Even though this story is very sad, it would make me rest easier in knowing this was a freak accident then something that was caused by an evil person

Of course they are scared of her, they are more then just scared, they are TERRIFIED OF HER. They won’t say they are but really, if they weren’t, would they still be discussing her months after the election, would they still be bashing her even now. Would CNN Showbiz Tonight call Sarah the “Most Controversial Celebrity of 2008” Celebrity, when did Sarah ever become a celebrity? Heck I don’t even consider her a politician, most politicians are corrupt, Sarah is pure and honorable. The media, the libs are scared that she will run and WIN, why, because having Sarah as President, can you imagine, someone in Washington, giving a damn about US again, yeah who would have thunk it, someone in Washington who cares about the American people, who supports our right to free speech, the 2nd amendment, and our constitution, libs hate our constitution, they want it destroyed, they want to bring back the Censorship Doctrine to shut us all up. Sarah is someone that symbolizes what is good about America and they dont want good to win

Yep as soon as the fire was put out, they said “Our work here is done” and fled on their broom sticks
