The authorities are treating the fire at the Wasilla Bible Church as an arson. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has found that accelerant was placed at several places near entrances around the building. People were present in the building when the fire was set. Basic concepts of criminal law hold that this is an aggravated arson. Add to the formula that the crime was committed against a church and its congregants, and you have a hate crime.

But who did it? Authorities will not comment during an investigation. However, the rest of us are free to theorize.

The fact that this hate crime was committed against a church attended by a prominent politician points toward a political motivation. I think that we can eliminate the “Christian Right” as the crime was committed against a predominantly white evangelical Protestant church. I think that we can eliminate the mushy middle: They are too squeamish to resort to violence. That leaves the left.

Well, who on the left has been using threats, force and intimidation in the past six weeks? With most of the left doing an endzone dance after the election of BHO, there is only one group that remains desperately and bitterly in need of therapy and medication: The gay and lesbian “civil rights” coalitions. They are and have been angry and on the move since the passage of Proposition 8 in California.

Some extremists might see both Governor Palin and her church as a good symbolic target. Gov. Palin has affirmed time-and-time-again that she believes that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Wasilla Bible has participated in pro-marriage and pro-family programs, and has come under some criticism from the left as a result.

Our prayers go out to the congregation of Wasilla Bible and we wish them success with their recovery efforts.

Don’t forget the animal rights nuts; Sarah has shot a few of their friends, you know. So, it’s either fruits or nuts — take your pick.

A wise man says what he knows. A fool says what he doesn’t know.

Evil. Pure unadulterated evil.

Please don’t insult the Società di Onore by comparing them to the anti-Prop idiots.

The intolerance of the intolerant has made me intolerant of them. Given a chance to influence any situation adversely with respect to any of these egregious people who make joyless noise and gratuitously cause damage and I will do what I can to make them more miserable than their mother did. If all they want to do is see who can punish the others most, bring it on, please. Yet, I wonder if a well-placed kick in the gonads causes the same grief to the funny boys that it causes to men. Maybe they like it.

I have a thought. Novel, it seems.

Let the investigators find out who did the deed.

THEN, start to throw stones.

For all you know now, it might have been someone was looking for a “Spenard Divorce”
