Sen. Stevens is on that "Bridge to Somewhere" - Heaven!

An Announcement Regarding the Afterlife

11 They will do all the laundry, cleaning and heavy or unpleasant jobs that are there.
12 Never will they eat of the Pasta of any kind, but will live on lots of beans and rice, potatoes and extremely cheap cuts of meat, and the type of diet that the American urban poor can afford, or that Senior Citizens and disabled persons on Social Security are reduced to.
13 They get the really icky dirty work.
14 They deserve it.
15 The bullies of the geopolitical world will be there, and their helpers.

Did you ever think that God is giving him one more chance?

I drew no conclusion from it at all, I just asked the question to see if the "good" people of Landover had any thoughts on the matter.

Just out of interest what is the LBC view on the fact that Ted Stevens was killed but ex-NASA chief Sean O'Keefe survived?

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.

Ted Stevens wasn't killed, Jesus just called Steven home.

Christ has a more fitting fate in mind for O'Keete.

JUNEAU, Alaska – A plane carrying former Sen. Ted Stevens and ex-NASA chief Sean O'Keefe crashed into a remote mountainside in Alaska, killing the longtime senator and at least four others, authorities said Tuesday.
O'Keefe and his teenage son survived the crash with broken bones and other injuries, former NASA spokesman Glenn Mahone said. The O'Keefes spent Monday night on the mountain with several volunteers who discovered the wreckage and tended to the injured until rescuers arrived Tuesday morning.

We can be sure the Godly Senator Stevens is up in heaven with Christ right now. I can almost see him joking with Ronald Reagen and Jesus.

There is a new star in the heavens now. GLORY

Good news, Reuters is reporting that a family friend of Senator Stevens says he had heard that the Senator had died in the plane crash, but in a new statement said that that had not been confirmed. God, as He promised, is answering my prayer! This is PROOF POSITIVE that prayer works!

This is a catastrophe of massive proportions! Our hero Sen. Ted Stevens has passed into the hands of the Lord, according to a CBS report. I am shattered by this news, but, of course God has a plan for all of us, and it was time for this great man to return home. Thy will be done, Lord. I spoke briefly with his widow, Catherine. She thanks the entire Landover community for our prayers, and vows to continue to fight for the rights of free-market white Christians everywhere.

Why couldn't God have taken that NASA guy instead?

Sen. Stevens and his wife Catherine show their support for the Landover Mission to Australia.

This is terrible news!

Outside the Landover Pastors and the great George W. Bush and Richard Cheney, and, of course, Ronald Reagan, Ted Stevens is probably the best American ever. He had a way of making the complicated understandable that set him apart from other politicians. Without his penetrating insight, engineers never would have been able to manage content delivery on the Internet:

Although I disagree with Senator Stevens about net neutrality. I think we should leave that up to the individual states.

Jesus told us that, if we believe on Him, He will do whatever we ask of him:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Well, I believe in Jesus. Father, I ask that you reach out your merciful hand to spare the great and good man, the Honorable Theodore Stevens, who's life even now may lie in your hands. And Lord, if Senator Stevens is dead, I ask you to return him to life just as you gave life anew to our savior, your Son Jesus. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.

That should do it.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Brothers and sisters, THIS is an official Prayer Emergency. Alaska's beloved Senator Ted Stevens is missing and possibly mangled in plane wreckage on an iceberg in Alaska somewhere. If wolves are eating him alive, this just goes to prove that Sarah Palin was right all along. My guess is that the Russians teamed up with the Trilateral Commission to eliminate America's most important and powerful Republican.

Your fervent prayers are needed now.

Rescuers arrive to help Alaska plane crash victims

JUNEAU, Alaska – An Alaska official says military rescuers have arrived at the scene of a plane crash in southwest Alaska.

Authorities say the plane was carrying nine people, and that five were believed to be dead. Former Sen. Ted Stevens and ex-NASA chief Sean O'Keefe were believed to be aboard, but it was unclear if they were among the dead.

Alaska National Guard spokesman Maj. Guy Hayes says rescuers arrived on helicopter early Tuesday and were giving medical care to survivors. He offered no additional details, except that there were potential fatalities.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A plane carrying nine people crashed amid southwest Alaska's remote mountains and lakes, killing five people on board, authorities said Tuesday. Former Sen. Ted Stevens and ex-NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe were believed to be aboard, but it was unclear if they were among the dead.

Reports from officials in Alaska were that nine people were aboard the aircraft and that "it appears that there are five fatalities," NTSB spokesman Ted Lopatkiewicz told The Associated Press in Washington.

A U.S. government official told The Associated Press that Alaska authorities have been told that the 86-year-old Stevens, a former longtime Republican senator, was on the plane. The official, who spoke on grounds of anonymity, says Stevens' condition is unknown.

The federal official declined to be publicly identified because the crash response and investigation are under way.

Stevens was one of two survivors in a 1978 plane crash at Anchorage International Airport that killed his wife, Ann, and several others.

Defense contractor EADS North America said Tuesday morning that O'Keefe, the CEO of the U.S.-based division of the European company, was a passenger on the small plane. The company said it had no further information about O'Keefe's status.

Alaska National Guard spokesman Maj. Guy Hayes said the Guard was called to the area about 20 miles north of Dillingham at about 7 p.m. Monday after a passing aircraft saw the downed plane. But severe weather has hampered search and rescue efforts.

Hayes said five people were on scene early Tuesday helping the crash victims. It was unclear how they reached the site.

A second U.S. government official in Washington said Tuesday that the National Guard in Alaska reported a private medical team was dropped near the crash site by commercial helicopter Tuesday morning. Four of nine people aboard the plane survived, the official said.

Coast Guard Petty Officer David Mosley said the agency has a plane flying over the crash scene, scouting it to make sure it's safe for helicopters to come into the area with pararescuers.

The National Weather Service reported rain and fog at Dillingham, with low clouds and limited visibility early Tuesday.

Conditions ranged from visibility of about 10 miles reported at Dillingham shortly before 7 p.m. Monday to 3 miles, with rain and fog, reported about an hour later, according to the agency.

Steven and O'Keefe are longtime fishing buddies and the former senator had been planning a fishing trip near Dillingham, longtime friend William Canfield said. The flight in and out of Dillingham is an often perilous trip through the mountains even in good weather, Canfield said.

Stevens, a moderate Republican, was appointed to the Senate in 1968 and served longer than any other Republican in history.

He remarried several years after the 1978 crash — he and his second wife, Catherine, have a daughter, Lily.

Over the years, Stevens directed billions of dollars to Alaska. But one of his projects — infamously known as the "Bridge to Nowhere" — became a symbol of pork-barrel spending in Congress and a target of taxpayer groups who challenged a $450 million appropriation for bridge construction in Ketchikan.

Stevens' standing in Alaska was toppled by corruption allegations and a federal trial in 2008. He was convicted of all seven counts — and narrowly lost his Senate seat to Democrat Mark Begich in the election the following week.

But five months after the election, Attorney General Eric Holder sought to dismiss the indictment against Stevens and not proceed with a new trial because of prosecutorial misconduct by federal prosecutors.

Stevens' family thanked those trying to reach the site of a plane crash in southwest Alaska in a statement released Tuesday morning by a former Stevens chief of staff.

Lopatkiewicz said the NTSB is sending a team to the crash site.

In Washington, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said the aircraft is a DeHavilland DHC-3T registered to Anchorage-based General Communication Corp.

Dillingham is located in northern Bristol Bay, about 325 miles southwest of Anchorage.
