Action Alert!: A Baptist Church has a fire, has no insurance

This an action alert for all Christians and Conservatives alike. There is a Baptist Church tonight without a building to call their own. I received this information via e-mail. The pictures are a bit small; but I think everyone should get the message.

It seems that a Baptist Church, that I learned of from Chuck Baldwin‘s website, has suffered a horrible fire.

From the e-mail:

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
The evening of June 30, 2009, the Gateway Anabaptist Church building sustained an electrical fire rendering the complete loss of the contents and use of the current building, but no loss of any lives. Praise the Lord! Firefighters were able to contain the flames to the second floor, but water damaged all other contents – including, tracts, Bibles, books, printers, furniture….
The water-logged pews were taken out immediately and “air-dried” to use for services outside under the “tabernacle”. We will meet here until weather forces us to a rented facility.
As God provides the funds, we will be rebuilding on the same property. God has led us into a building program. We have always stated that we could use more room to facilitate our church family and all the church and printing ministries. Our old facility auditorium was a mere 29’ x 30’ but we hope to build a new full two story building 35’ x 50’ on a concrete pour, on the back corner of our property. We estimate it will cost near $125,000 and in four weeks we have raised $10,300 in gifts so far. Once the new building is done we will then level the old building to make more parking. So, we totally trust God, by faith, to give us a miracle. We know the task is immense, but God is bigger than this “bump in the road”. The enemy meant it for evil, …but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Genesis 50:20

Please note, this Church did not have insurance. Pastor Dan does not believe in registering his Church with the state, because this, he cannot get insurance. So, this Church is depending on God (and possibly his people!) to get them back on tract.

Police State?: Is Virginia State Police targeting Tea Party Protesters?

Just a short story via Linda Gelbhaar on twitter…

Seems the Virginia State Police is now targeting Tea Party Protesters.

A called Blog Tertium Quids has the story:

Another troubling matter regarding Tea Party organizers, Rep. Tom Perriello, Obama administration functionaries and the Virginia State police. Via email:

Danville TEA Party chairman Nigel Coleman said Virginia State Police officers Monday came unannounced to the home of another member of the group to question him about attending a town hall meeting Saturday in Blairs which featured Perriello and two Obama cabinet secretaries.

And this…

Saturday, Coleman, the group’s chair, and other TEA Party leaders were refused an opportunity to ask Perriello a question during the event, and then were instructed by a plainclothes police officer to leave the property when they attempted to display signs urging the congressman to follow the Constitution and oppose Pelosi’s “socialized medicine scheme.” Coleman said he and the others peacefully complied, but were followed to a restaurant by an officer in an unmarked car, who then exited his vehicle, walked over to the activists’ cars, and called in their license plate numbers over the phone.

Go read the rest of this there and let people know about this one. Because if the police are now targeting Tea Party protesters; we have a serious problem.

Virginia State Police contact info is here:

Remember, no threats, and be polite; just ask them why they are targeting tea party protesters.

Facepalm of the Day

Via Politico:

“This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture,” Beck said. “I don’t know what it is.”
[…]
“I’m not saying he doesn’t like white people,” Beck said. “I’m saying he has a problem. He has a — this guy is, I believe, a racist.”

Good going Glenn, Stir the pot some more, please. Liberals already think that we are racists and kooks. Thanks for the contribution. You feckless idiot.

Senate Panel Approves Sotomayor in 13-6 Vote

This was not a big surprise at all. But it is content and that’s what this game is all about. 😀

Via NYT:

WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee voted, 13 to 6, on Tuesday to endorse the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor, easing her path to likely confirmation as the first Hispanic member of the tribunal.
As expected, all 12 Democrats on the judiciary panel voted for Judge Sotomayor. But among the seven Republicans on the committee, only Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina voted in favor.
“She is a restrained, fair and impartial judge,” said Senator Patrick J. Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who heads the committee.
The action sends the nomination to the full Senate, where her confirmation by a comfortable margin seems to be assured.
Republican critics of the judge expressed displeasure with her rulings as a member of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, as well as with some of her public comments. The rulings and comments show that she is a judge is too “activist” and liberal and has too little commitment to the rights of gun owners, the critics complained.
Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the committee’s leading Republican, said just before the vote that he was compelled to oppose the nomination because of the judge’s “liberal, pro-government ideology.”
In an Op-Ed article in USA Today on Monday, Mr. Sessions wrote: “I don’t believe that Judge Sotomayor has the deep-rooted convictions necessary to resist the siren call of judicial activism. She has evoked its mantra too often. As someone who cares deeply about our great heritage of law, I must withhold my consent.”
Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, said Mr. Sessions’ questioning of the nominee had been “sharp but fair.” Still, Mr. Schumer said, he was perplexed that anyone could accuse the nominee of being a liberal activist, since an examination of her record shows her to be a moderate.
Barring some totally unforeseen event or shocking disclosure, confirmation is inevitable, since the Democrats have a 60-to-40 advantage in the Senate, counting two independents who vote with them. Moreover, several Republicans in addition to Mr. Graham have announced that they will vote for her.
Mr. Graham said he supported the nomination, despite early reservations. “I feel good about Judge Sotomayor,” he said, adding he was sure that she would decide cases “based on what she thinks is right” and be an inspiration for young women. The Senate is expected to debate the nomination next week, so Judge Sotomayor is likely to be sworn in as the Supreme Court’s first Hispanic justice (and only its third woman) in time for the start of the high court’s next term, which begins in October.

I am heartened to see Republicans standing on their principles; for a change. I believe if there had been more Republicans in the Senate, that the “Wise Latino” would be been rejected. However, I am well aware that elections have consequences. If any conservatives want to be angry, be angry at Bush for royally screwing up the Republican Party’s holding in both houses of Congress. Before anyone accuses me of having the poorly-named “BDS”, it is a fact, that the Bush Administration made some serious blunders during is tenure and as a result of that the election went the way that it did. This nomination is one of the unfortunate bi-products of that process. The Republican Party should be mindful of this during the next election cycle in 2012, in their choosing of the next Presidential candidate.

Sarah Palin resigns as Governor of Alaska

But first the complete, unedited farewell speech of the now Former Governor of Alaska; Sarah Palin: (Via and Thanks to Conservatives 4 Palin)

Quote:

Gov. Sarah Palin resigned here Sunday with a blast at the media that reflected the frustrations that led her to leave office a year-and-a-half before her term expired. But speaking in a style that her fans see as plain talk and her detractors consider disjointed, she offered almost nothing about what she was planning to do next.
Plainly feeling liberated, Palin said that the freedom of the press was an important American right and one that members of the military died to protect.
“So, how about, in honor of the American soldier, quit making things up,” she said with an insistent voice, prompting loud applause and cheers from a mostly sympathetic audience gathered at a park here.
Palin didn’t specify what she was accusing reporters of making up, but suggested that she was weary of the attention on her family since being tapped as the Republican vice presidential nominee last summer.
“Our new governor has a very nice family, too, so leave his kids alone,” she demanded.
Immediately after Palin’s speech that man, Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, a Republican and Palin ally, was sworn in as the state’s governor.
As she stepped down from the stage, Palin’s future remained a mystery.
Concluding her remarks, she only said: “Let’s all enjoy the ride.”
via Sarah Palin resigns, blasts press, ‘starlets’ – Jonathan Martin – POLITICO.com.

While I will be the first to admit to you, that during the election I was not too impressed with Sarah Palin. I believe Mrs. Palin showed some enormous class. She was not mean or vindictive; she handled her exit with grace and much class. Which is something that is missing today in politics. I wish Mrs. Palin much luck for the future and something tells me that we have not seen the last of her. I believe that Mr. Palin will be a force for good within the G.O.P. for many years to come. She obviously has much star power among the G.O.P base and I believe that she will use that much to her advantage for the next few years. While I do not know if she will ever be a contender for the President race in 2012; because ultimately, that choice is hers, and hers alone. I do believe the she will be someone whom the Liberal elite media and some of the Conservative Elite will have to contend with for many years to come.

All the best Mrs. Palin and please, keep fighting for those of us, who have no voice. 🙂

Quote of the Day

: Thomas Friedman’s house

Well, obviously, being a renowned expert, Thomas Friedman, like Al Gore and the Prince of Wales, needs a supersized carbon footprint. But you don’t – you can get by beating your laundry on the rocks down by the river with the native women all day long.
“Environmentalism” is a government restraint on economic advance and, therefore, social mobility. In other words, it’s a way to ensure you’ll never live like Tom Friedman.

Hmmmmmm — Does Henry Gates run a Bogus Charity?

I have got to hand it to the Conservative Blogsophere. When they put their minds to it. They can do a kick butt job of dirt digging on people. It is absolutely amazing to me. These guys put the MSM to God-awful shame.

Dan Riehl has the scoop:

Henry Louis Gates, Jr controls a tax-exempt, non-profit charity, Inkwell Foundation, Inc, that managed to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in direct support in one year, yet only gave out $27,500 in grants, the bulk of which went to Gates’ employees and Harvard colleagues. Also, as recently as September 2008, the Boston Globe reported that Gates’ charity was not in compliance with the law for failing to register the proper paperwork, despite the charity existing since 2005. The charge at the time was that it was “bogus,” as you’ll see below. In fact, the state Attorney General’s office told the Globe the charity was likely either inactive, or dissolved. Yet, documents below show the charity is healthy, wealthy and active.
Is it possible that Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was acting strange when law enforcement showed up at his door because he didn’t want the story below to come out? It may take a tax lawyer to answer that question, but based on this research, it can’t be ruled out. We know the press has questioned Gates about the charity in the past and gotten no response.

There is much more to this story, Please head over to Dan’s Place to read it all.

This would be the ultimate take-down of the century. But I highly doubt that the Feds will do anything. As it is right now; we have a local police Dept being accused of racism. The last thing that Bambi Teleprompter needs is some pissed black man accusing him of using the Government to target him. That would not be a good thing for the Democratic Party. Seeing that they’re already losing on healthcare.

Anyhow, Here’s the roundup of the Blogs on the subject:

Piece of Work in Progress says:

In any case, it’s strange how proggies can be so concerned about their privacy whilst selling out ours to all kinds of intrusive government agencies. I think that Gates should feel fortunate that the cops weren’t asking for his Real ID.

Now that’s funny! :rotfl: Quite true. But very funny. 😀

The Confederate Yankee says:

If Obama Justice Department will cover for the New Black Panthers, I’m sure they’ll cover for a personal friend, even if he acted “stupidly.”

PrairiePundit says:

This strikes me as the way liberals support each other and avoid paying taxes. It seems to explain why they feel immune to tax increases.

Robert Stacy McCain Writes:

So, let’s put this together. There was gross, rampant, institutionalized racism at one time in the United States. Since then, we’ve had plenty of people of all ethnic backgrounds arrive in academia and in society who are anointed to preach the evils of the path, and, purportedly, lead us into some shiny, post-racial future.
What Are The Entry Criteria For That Future?
When do we take the police report at face value, and just admit that somebody was disorderly? Because it looks more as though we’ve simply got a priesthood that is going to manufacture the occasional ritual to perpetuate itself, becoming the very thing it set out to despise.

Now for my take on this whole thing. Here is the straight out truth. Mr. Gates, who is black, is trying to start something; because he is black. It is obvious to me, that this whole thing could have been avoided, if Gates would have just had done what he was told, and kept his mouth shut. Had he heeded the Officers instructions, none of this would have ever happened. But instead Gates decided that he was going to try and play the “oppressed negro” card and get himself arrested; all so Mr. Gates could get into the headlines and go to court and make him some easy money.

Since I am known for my controversy; let me remind Mr. Gates of something here. Mr. Gates you are damned lucky that you were not in Alabama and that this is not the 1950’s. Because if it were, the media would most likely be reporting about your dead corpse being found on the side of the road or face down in a river, with a bullet in your head. Which, in all honesty; is most likely were you really belong. You ought to once and a while say a little prayer for the life of privilege that you lead. Because there was a time sir, when the real founders of this Country actually RULED this land and people like you; were taken care of and not in very nice ways. You should think about that, once in a while. Just a thought.

I think that it is a damned shamed that the very people, whom the Republican Party fought long and hard to free from Slavery, are now acting like Tyrants and acting like the entire Anglo-Saxon race owes them a favor. I have to believe that of President Abraham Lincoln would have known this, he would have never bothered with them at all. Sometimes I think it is too bad, that we cannot go back and change that history.

It’s a twofer for today!

First off some Conservative Activist dude named Dr. David McKalip forwarded this little jem around:

….and if that was not bad enough. The lamebrained idiot bonehead, who owns Gateway Pundit, points to this picture here, I guess to make the point that liberals did the same thing, when Bush was in office.

Here’s the pic:

bush witch doctor

So, what’s the problem you ask? The Picture above was linked from and pointed to by Gateway Pundit is a Blog called the Romanian National Vanguard News Agency, which is owned by Romanian National Vanguard. Which is a White Nationalist website! Which I will not point to, at all.

Good Lord people, the Liberals ALREADY think that we Conservatives are freakin’ Nazi’s, do we REALLY want to keep giving them reasons to believe this? 🙄

D’oh!

The Wall Street Journal's shocking Discovery: "Obama is not Post-Partisan"

You mean, they are just now figuring this out? Raised Eyebrow

Only last summer we were told that Barack Obama’s political appeal rested on his vision for a “post-partisan future.” The post-partisan future was one of the press corps’ favorite phrases. It served as shorthand for the candidate’s repeated references to “unity of purpose,” looking beyond a red or blue America, and so on.
Six months into the president’s term, you don’t read much about this post-partisan future anymore. It may be because on almost every big-ticket legislative item (the stimulus, climate change, and now health care), Mr. Obama has been pushing a highly ideological agenda with little (and in some cases zero) support from across the aisle. Yet far from stating the obvious—that sitting in the Oval Office is a very partisan president—the press corps is allowing Mr. Obama to evade the issue by coming up with novel redefinitions.
via Let’s Face It: Obama Is No Post-Partisan – WSJ.com.

You know, if I were one of those uncouth types; I would say something along the lines of, “Well, Duh!” But that would be unbecoming of a blogger of my caliber. Now if you will pardon me, I need to adjust my top head and tails. Smug

Seriously folks, you mean to tell me the Rupert’s people up at the WSJ are just now figuring this out? I mean, did not the whole “I won” sniveling line to the Republicans, give them any clue at all that Obama did not intend to bend an ear to the Republicans?

But of course Obama is not a Post-Partisan; He is going to ride this ever-rapidly-decreasing wave of support to get his agenda through, while he still has the sixty-seat majority in the Congress; to pass his agenda. Well, that is if the “Blue Dog” Democrats do not derail it. Which most likely will happen. I mean, I ridicule the Democrats quite a bit. But the Conservative wing of the Democratic Party; small as it might be, is still there and I just do not believe that they are just going to bend and allow Obama to bowl them over.

I just cannot believe that WSJ is just now figuring this out. They seriously need to hire me. I mean, I could told them this eons ago. Big Grin
