Arson Auspected in Fire at Palin’s Church

WASILLA – An overnight fire at Gov. Sarah Palin’s church caused an estimated $1 million in damage, and investigators say it could be the work of an arsonist.  Firefighters were called to Wasilla Bible Church about 9:40 p.m. Friday and found flames and smoke coming out windows at the back of the three-story structure, said James Steele, chief of the Central Mat-Su Fire Department.

Five women were inside the church working on crafts, and possibly two children, but everyone escaped unharmed after a fire alarm alerted them to trouble, Steele said.

It was a major fire, the biggest the department has seen this year, and Steele said volunteer firefighters from across the region came to fight the blaze. As many as 35 to 40 people responded, he said.

Firefighters had to tear open wall spaces in the metal building to snuff out hotspots and were on the scene until after 5 a.m. today, Steele said.

“We are definitely treating it as suspicious and as potential arson at this point,” he said.

Steele declined to provide details on why investigators believe the fire might have been set deliberately, or whether accelerants were found on the scene.

The building is worth between $4 million and $5 million, and sustained an estimated $1 million in damage, he said.

A task force has been formed to investigate including people from the state fire marshal’s office, the Central Mat-Su Fire Department, the Wasilla Police Department and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The Anchorage Fire Department also sent out an investigator.

The church, located off the Parks Highway on the north end of town, is one of the biggest in the Valley with a typical Sunday service drawing up to 1,000 people. Several well-known Valley residents attend the church, including Palin and state Rep. Wes Keller, R-Wasilla.

Palin’s office issued this statement today:

“Gov. Palin stopped by the church this morning, and she told an assistant pastor that she apologizes if the incident is in any way connected to the undeserved negative attention the church has received since she became a vice presidential candidate on Aug. 29. Whatever the motives of the arsonist, the governor has faith in the scriptural passage that what was intended for evil will in some way be used for good.”

Bill McAllister, the governor’s media spokesman, said he wasn’t sure when Palin last attended the church. He said she would not attend services tomorrow morning because she’s traveling to Juneau to release next year’s state budget. But the governor’s children do plan to go to church, he said.

The church’s Web site says the congregation will meet at 11:15 a.m. Sunday at Wasilla Middle School.

Church Pastor Larry Kroon, reached at home Saturday morning, said he’d been up all night and was still in a state of disbelief.

He said the church was in only its second winter in the building, and he confirmed the $1 million damage estimate.

“It’s one of those things – it feels surreal,” he said.

The pastor said he was especially disturbed someone would set the fire while people were inside.

He said he had talked to fire officials, but didn’t know of any specific clues.

“The possibilities are so wide and variable,” he said. “Someone intentionally did it, but we don’t know who and why.”

The pastor declined to speculate whether the fire was politically based or directed at Palin, a Republican who ran unsuccessfully as John McCain’s vice presidential running mate. Kroon also declined to say whether the church has received any recent threats.

Kroon was at home when he got a call from the husband of one of the women who had been in the building. By the time he arrived, smoke was pouring from the windows of a back corner of the building.

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.

Most of the damage was confined to the back corner of the building where four offices and a classroom are located, he said. There is also water damage and the entire building smells like smoke, he said.

Steele, the fire chief, said nothing has been found thus far to suggest any political motivation for the fire.

“Right now there’s no indication that we have that there’s any connection there. We just don’t have any leads at all as far as the intent or motive in this,” Steele said.

I guess now that would be “president-wannabe-aka-elect government”

One of the very few good words that mccain spoke.

HAHAHAHA rezko, ayers, blagojevich, jeremiah wright um yeah that’s just the beginning. Just ask the (king and queen aka the) Clintons

Given Obama’s elaborate deference to the Clintons, beginning with his over-accommodation of them at the Democratic convention in August, a nagging question has floated around the Web: What do the Clintons have on him? No one doubts that the Clinton opposition research team was turning over every rock in its mission to propel Hillary into the White House. There’s an information vacuum here that conspiracy theorists have been rushing to fill.

Hey, the zerObama STILL has not released his vault birth certificate, so this is very plausible!  Photo analysis by fubarmedia.wordpress.com.

Was Obama the “Victim” of a Pro-Life Mother?

(HONOLULU, HI)(October 22, 2008) Internet powerhouse Andy Martin told a Honolulu news conference today that after an intense international investigation he is convinced that Barack Obama, Junior, the presidential candidate is really the son of Obama’s controversial mentor Frank Marshall Davis.

“Mendacious adults ’switched’ Obama at birth. That is why he has refused to allow access to the original or ‘vault’ birth certificate,” Martin told a Honolulu news conference. “We believe the original certificate did not list a father. Barack Obama became the father as a result of an agreement between Ann Dunham, Frank Marshall Davis and Barack Obama, Sr.

“Davis was already married to a White Woman. He did not need a nonmarital child by a second one. Ann probably refused to have what was then called a ‘back alley’ abortion. Davis may have felt that ‘Obama’ would face less stigma with an ‘African’ background than a Negro one. The civil rights revolution, of course, turned that gambit upside down. In discovering and understanding what happened we cannot forget we are dealing with events in 1961, not 2008.

“The irony in all of this is that Obama once stated he did not want his daughters to be ‘victimized’ with a child. And he is alive because his mother took the contrary view.

“Barack Obama has known this since adulthood, and the shock of this discovery still reverberates in his psyche.

“Ironically, what I have to say today dilutes the ‘Muslim’ theory that has propagated. Davis was not a Muslim. If Obama had told the truth at some point in his life, instead of living endlessly with the lies that were imposed on him by the adults in his life, we would have avoided a great deal of confusion. I, for one, have deep compassion for Mr. Obama. He is not the first person in history to be caught up in this kind of family fraud.

“The disclosure by the two women in his life that he was not the ’son’ of his ‘father’ also explains why he manifests such extreme ambivalence to both his mother and grandmother. He is angry because he was cheated of his real father.

“Obama was robbed of his birthright of being the son of civil rights royalty, and of a father with whom he was completely simpatico. He could have grown up the son of Frank Marshall Davis, civil rights pioneer and activist, cutting-edge journalist, poet and man of letters. Mr. Davis was an extraordinary man in a dark period of this nation’s history, the pre-dawn of the civil rights era.

“Obama has probably suspended his campaign and is flying to Honolulu because he is deathly afraid his grandmother may make a ‘dying declaration’ and blow the whistle on his family fraud. Dying people often blurt out the truth. The true facts of Obama’s parentage also reflect why there has been so much tension and alienation, as well as genuine love, in Obama’s relationship with his grandmother.

“There has been a great deal of confusion and misconception about Frank Marshall Davis. A brief history lesson is essential to understanding the bizarre facts of Obama’s provenance.

“During the 1920’s and 30’s many Negros (African-Americans) became ‘communists’ because the Soviet Union and the Communist Party USA promised to end racial segregation and Jim Crow laws in the United States. The Democratic Party, of course, was the powerful force behind segregation and Jim Crow. So it is a twist of fate that the same party that oppressed Blacks has now nominated one for president.

“Madelyn Dunham is the last surviving person who knows the truth about the switch. That is why as we closed in on Dunham, Obama went ballistic, cancelled his campaign and came to Hawai’i to head us off.

“I actually carry an official, certified pocket-sized birth certificate on me at all times [Andy shows a copy to media]. But this is NOT my ‘birth certificate.’ The original certificate is held in the City Clerk’s vault in Middletown, Connecticut. That is what has come to be known as the ‘vault copy.’

“Likewise, the document that Obama has plastered over the Internet is NOT his original birth certificate or even a copy of his original certificate. It is a computer generated facsimile of an official record and nothing more. The original certificate was either handwritten or typewritten, not computer-generated in 1961. No one has ever seen that original certificate except the people that are working so hard to keep it hidden from the American people.

“I am asking Judge Ayabe to impound the value certificate and have the court hold it for safekeeping.

“By the time Barack Obama learned who he was, it was too late to change his identity. He was who he was, so he continued the ruse of being the son of an ‘African herder,’ which was yet another lie. ‘Dreams From My Father’ bears no connection to dreams from Barack Obama; there were none. It was Frank Marshall Davis who communicated his dreams to his secret son.

“There is a simple way for Obama to resolve this controversy: he can either admit the truth of these facts and order the immediate release of his vault certificate; or he can submit to a DNA test. We can conduct a Maury Povich-style DNA test to determine filiation between Obama and his brothers, one of whom blogs at BarackObama.com.

“In closing, I can only say that we used the fictional ‘Hawai’i Five-O’ as our dramatic template for this investigative operation. We could have as easily used the great, real-life Hawai’i detective Chang Apana as our polestar. He was featured in yesterday’s newspaper.

“As for Mr. Obama, all I can say is ‘Book’em Danno.” Case solved. Barack Obama the presidential candidate is the son of Frank Marshall Davis.” Martin stated.

“I bear Mr. Obama no ill will and no animus. I have only been a faithful servant of the search for truth, and I believe we finally know the secret truths about who Barack Obama really is: the son of Frank Marshall Davis.””

Combating Moonbat News is on a Scandinavian posting spree.

Remind me, why Swedish women have the reputation for being attractive.  It’s not because they are able to urinate while standing, is it?

From Atlas Shrugs.  Hilarious, but unfortunately for Sweden, true.

SPECIAL EXCLSUIVE FOR ATLAS READERS! Lars Hedegaard translates samples from the blockbuster book!

On the Peeing Front

While Danes are grappling with one of the heaviest social and human issues of our times, i.e. the shortage of female CEOs and board members, the pioneering country of Sweden has already attacked the root cause of sexual inequality – the fact that men stand up when they urinate whereas most women tend to sit down. This disparity gives rise to so many distortions that Malmoe’s Free Women’s University has just completed the three-day course in Upright Urination for Women. One of the university’s directors, Aasa Staahl, describes the procedure in the daily Sydsvenska Dabladet: You can either use a funnel-like device or you may direct the jet by means of a special squeeze with you fingers. And it is important for women to master this new skill, as many of them feel exposed when they have to pull down their pants and bare their bottom. The Free Women’s University has also taught its students to make special ”pussypanties” to replace the old ”cockpanties” – to use the university’s terminology.

Before we go ahead and introduce forced quotas on women for top positions in society, we would do well to consider if equality of peeing might not in itself solve many of the problems that have proved intractable up till now. The day may well dawn when men and women are able to use the same urinals and – who knows – cross jets.

Fabulous! Here’s more!

“Sarah Palin is destined to give birth to a new movement. That’s why the Democrats are trying to kill her.” -Ann Coulter

(and yes, McCain was and is a democrat.)

TOP TEN REASONS SARAH PALIN SHOULD LEAD THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT

1.  She is a TRUE Conservative.

2.  She has proven to have energized conservatives beyond a doubt.  Huge money flowed in to the mccain campaign after she was picked.  Huge crowds gathered for HER speeches.

3.  She is an excellent human being who puts God first, has great judgment, great character, a love for America, etc. and is a great, sharp executive, who actually walks the walk.  (or in her case, RUNS the walk!)  In my opinion, she is one of the best types of Christians.

4.  Precisely BECAUSE she is such a threat to the left, the left is trying to destroy her.  She is a threat to the fat cat corrupt RINO establishment types (which by the way includes mccain).  In other words, the more someone is viciously attacked by the media, the more you can rely on them to be very powerful against the left.  Take Ann Coulter:  she has been demonized, and yet still comes back with book after best-selling book.  The truth may hurt the left, but it is still the truth!  And republicans should take note that if the American people want to vote for a democrat, they will do so by voting for a democrat with a D next to their name, not an R like what is facetiously next to mccain’s name.

5.  She has inspired young conservatives and even moderates.  Those (young and old) who haven’t been inspired by her have yet to hear her or get to know her.  They will also be inspired and follow.

6.  She is an excellent, attractive communicator who is genuine and accessible.

7.  She already has a huge following as she has been exposed to America already.  She is very able to clear up misconceptions about her qualifications during the next year and can build up more support by 2012.  She was held back by the defeatist-mccain campaign and we were partially prevented from seeing and hearing the true Sarah Palin who is even BETTER than the great Palin of 08.

8.  She is a woman, a loving wife and a mother of five.  A true pro-lifer.  A member of feminists for life.

9.  She is one of the people.  American government is supposed to be BY the people, for the people.  She is “Sarah America.”  Common sense, hard work, love of country and all that is wholesome.

10.  She is beautiful inside and out.

Good luck with this, neighbors of Russia.  Don’t count on hObama for a thing.  (ok, maybe he’ll give a speech.)  But otherwise he’ll be too busy with the local reeducation camps, his brownshirts, confiscating and redistributing wealth, and murdering babies who would otherwise burden the socialist state.

In related news, b hussein hobama’s “election” led to the biggest post-election drop in the stock market in US HISTORY.  More change!

Russia is powerful, the U.S.S.A. under hobama will be weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!  Enemies of America and Socialist countries of the globe unite and stake out your positions!  Now is the time!  hobama is the one you’ve been waiting for!

Ed Morrissey

“Change”, in this case, consists of missile deployments on the frontiers of NATO.  Russian president Dmitri Medvedev announced the move yesterday in a speech that never once mentioned the new American President-elect, but caustically criticized the Western approach to Moscow.  Medvedev also reversed course on missile disarmament in western Russia:

President Medvedev ordered missiles to be stationed up against Nato’s borders yesterday to counter American plans to build a missile defence shield.

Speaking within hours of Barack Obama’s election, Mr Medvedev announced that Russia would base Iskander missiles in its Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad – the former German city – next to the border with Poland.

He did not say whether the short-range missiles would carry nuclear warheads.

Taking advantage of the world’s attention on the US elections, Mr Medvedev also cancelled plans to withdraw three intercontinental ballistic missile regiments from western Russia by 2010.

Coal Powers America.  Obama said he will bankrupt the coal industry, leaving Americans homes without power.  Obama hates America.  Obama wants a weak, poor America.  Why else would he bankrupt coal?  The environment?  Give me a break.

OBAMA TELLS SAN FRANCISCO HE WILL INTENTIONALLY BANKRUPT THE COAL INDUSTRY

ATTN: Coal states Virginia , Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Indiana, Wyoming, West Virginia and more guess what Obama told San Francisco about you.

San Francisco Gate Interview January 17 2008

Barack Obama stated his intention to bankrupt the coal industry in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle. That would throw countless people out of work, devastate the economy of many coal producing states, and send electricity prices skyrocketing for everyone. Sarah Palin opposes Barack’s bankrupt plan and pledges to fight with everything she has for working Americans! Please ask everyone you know to vote for her Tuesday November 4th!!!

Sarah Palin SLAMS Obama over his STATED INTENTION to BANKRUPT the COAL Industry

Newly released from French Archives.

Obama voters are voting against this man and against the United States of America.
