Protestors torched Michael Brown family's church during Monday night's Ferguson protests
Daily Mail ^ | November 25, 2014 | DAVID MCCORMACK

The Missouri church attended by Michael Brown’s father and his family was one of a dozen or so buildings burned to the ground during Monday night’s protests in the wake of a grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson. While the majority of the buildings destroyed on Monday were in downtown Ferguson, the Flood Christian Church is located some three miles away from the protests in a remote section of Country Club Hills.

Pastor Carlton Lee, who has been a vocal advocate for the Browns since their son was shot in August, has said he believes that white supremacists rather than protesters were to blame for the destruction.

Burning down one church is not good... but it’s a start!

Remember a few years ago, the media was reporting an epidemic of black churches burning down? And then Bill Clinton came out and said he remembered that happened a lot in Arkansas when he was a little boy ? The narrative is all the matters to these liberals. Facts don’t matter. Only the liberal narrative that America is racist/sexist/homophobic/bigoted matters.

Facts which don’t fit the narrative will be disregarded.

Sounds like Pastor Lee is a racist. Which group was throwing all the fire bombs? Would not be surprised if the Pastor lit the fire.

Pray America is waking

I was thinking the same thing. Must be one of those racist black militant churches like Rev. Wright’s if the Brown family is an example of a church goer that attends there.

Read this article and share it.


Black and Latino Americans: WAKE UP!

"The over-riding segments of the population that enabled Barack Obama's victory in 2012 were the Black vote (who voted for him by over 90%) and the Latino vote (who voted for him by over 70%).

"And they did so, absolutely against their own best interest.

"Oh, in the short term it can certainly be argued that Obama's campaign of "social justice," and equalizing the playing field from his perspective...which perspective is a socialist, redistribution of wealth perspective at best, and a Marxist perspective at worst, is appealing to voters who find themselves as a group the most negatively impacted in terms of employment, family stability, poverty, and crime rates in the nation, and particularly during this long standing economic down turn.

"When a politician promises specifically to "right these wrongs," and to give these voting blocks "stuff," be it contraceptives, food stamps, a portion of other people's income, free school loans, easier housing, etc., etc. one can see why people would be tempted to vote for them. And make no mistake, that is exactly what the progressive left is doing, as they have done for decades. Dangling entitlements and free "stuff," in front of people in an effort to buy their vote.

"But everything has a cost...as we shall see...and the cost is horrific for those whose life styles, livelihoods, and social positioning are adversely impacted.

"Despite it being hard to look beyond the entitlements and hand-outs, it is all the more important to examine the record of the politicians promising such things. Perhaps they do so to hide their actual record. What they have actually done (or not done) for these constituencies, is a critical determination to make before making a decision as to who should lead this nation and address its economic and social problems.

"This nation spends over a trillion dollars on welfare every year. Since the inception of the "Great Society" under Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s, this nation has spent tens of trillions of dollars at the behest of the progressive left to try and "equalize," things by "giving" away money, perks, food stamps, house loans, school loans, etc., etc.

"Have things improved?

"No, they have not.

"By abandoning the time honored and proven methods of hard work, personal accountability and responsibility, advancement due to merit, and the natural competiveness and reward of the free market, these socialist policies have failed...and are failing here in the United States, and failing miserably...just like they have everywhere else on earth they have been attempted." "

It goes on to share the demographic and statistical data in detail.

Every American should see it...and particularly Black and Latino Americans. The facts do not lie.

Really? Michael Brown's family goes to church? That is when they aren't doing "Blood's" work, or beating people with pipes or inciting riots?

Interesting. I guess this church thing didn't take.

Michael Brown's stepfather last night repeatedly urged protesters to “Burn this b***h down”

Michel Brown's stepfather seems to deliver more effective sermons than the pastor, doesn't he?

Was anything of value, like a sound system for music etc., taken from the church before it was burned? Hmmm?

It explains a lot about how blacks in this town turned to the dark side.

So Rev... A bunch of white people disguised themselves as black waded into the middle of a riot zone and burned your church? Pitiful. Just pitiful.
