Wrong is wrong and I will hold tight to what I believe until I see my name in stone.

Call me out-dated or closed-minded if you will.

Besides, all these stoopider people that will be coming out of this cherade of a public school system will no doubt allow the terrorists to rule the world.

I heard the other day that the Islamic people are now trying to make it a crime to link terrorists to Islam?????


WTF!!!!!


The terrorists are the ones that claim Islam. :roll:

If the terrorist claims Islam as his religion, it should be able to be mentioned.

If Chrisitanity, same thing.

Well, the education system says it will educate our children. Are they going back on their word then?

If so, I guess their word wasn't any good to begin with. So why do we keep approving school levies?

I can't and won't say it is not educating our children in all cases. I've seen some kids in this day come out well-educated.

In this case, however, they are educating our children to believe that they can get something for nothing.

Yeah, there are too many people in this world who want something for nothing. They should have to work for what they get.

So, what are your thoughts on the fire at Sarah Palin's church?

The water froze all over the place too. Looked kind of cool.

It was estimated to be a million in damage.

Once again, Glenn Beck has a good point:
In one way I'm glad this happened to Sarah Palin's church because the leadership of the church and the congregation have reacted with class. They've reacted the way you should. They went on. None of that -- without hate, without malice, without stone-throwing. But let me ask you this: Do you think it would lead the news if Barack Obama's old church had been burned down, the church of Jeremiah Wright? Do you think that would have led the news? A man who's already blaming the government for creating AIDS to kill African-Americans, imagine what he would be saying into any camera that would tape him. Not only would the media suddenly find a way to make a front page story in every single paper, this would squarely be blamed on hateful people like Sarah Palin, not to mention there would be calls to get rid of talk radio already today. We would have riots in the streets, and the media would be more than happy to egg them on.

I don't know who did this and maybe it is just local punks and I hope it is just local punks, but I can tell you that regardless of the cause, the people of the church and the way they are reacting is inspiring. In a very difficult holiday season, I'm more and more impressed every day that the body of God -- and that means Jews, Hindus, Christians, Muslims, everybody -- the body of God is under attack and if we don't start pulling together, if we don't start being those people that see God in everybody's eyes, if we're not those people that stand together, we're in big trouble. When somebody can burn down a church and nobody says anything about it, that's either a really good sign or it's a sign that they are not on the politically correct side. So burning that church down doesn't make a difference. By the way, this church, to quote a crazy book that some people are reading now, this church congregation is facing their storm with just unbelievable class. They would never ask, but if you want to help them face their storm, it's Wasilla Bible Church, 1651 West Nicola Avenue, Wasilla, Alaska, 99654. We'll put that in the news today. As far as I know, they are not asking for donations to help. They probably won't. They are not that kind of people. But should they have to?
I hope that if my church building ever has anything like this happen that my congregation and I would react so.....Christlike.

Could have just been a careless parishioner with a candle or some callow youth smoking in the boys room.

I'm sure that you would. After all, that's what anyone who is a Christian should do automatically. Turn the other cheek while trading an eye for an eye. :-)

The story I read on Comcast news yesterday said there WERE people inside when the fire broke out, but not on how it started.


If it was arson, and someone is found I could sooooooo see multiple counts of attempted murder as charges. High end charges, but still.

Someone should find out of her delinquent son is back on leave from Iraq. This seems like his M.O. if the school bus vandalism has any truth to it.

Stop throwing stuff! I'm just kidding, for diced sake. :)
