Dear Ones:
     Unfortunately, information on this case is both slow in coming and is, apparently, being suppressed by the progressive liberal press.
     Please -- whatever your race and political 'persuasion', suppress your anger and try not to let things get out of control.
     I am taking my 'own advice', just so you know.  I told my daughter last night, "I am ALMOST sorry about all of my 'civil rights work'."
     She said, "Please--don't be that way".
     I thought about it, and I really am 'trying not to be that way'.
     But to hear of a WW II Okinawa WW II veteran beaten to death as so much 'fodder' for lowlifes who have no respect for life....I have to wonder.
     I'm trying not to succumb to anger in this area where Progressive Liberalism and 'White Privilege Initiatives' prevail.
     I'm trying to live the Gospel by not promoting vengeance and violence -- and by concentrating on my own 'spiritual self'.
     Yet a little part of me wants to say to all good, law-abiding people, Christian or not, to not be lulled into some kind of karmic 'trance' believing that racial tension does not exist any more.
     We are not in a 'post-racial period' and we have problems on the horizon, the likes of which we have not seen before in our fine country.
     Join me in believing these words:

The Beatitudes

He said:

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

      I pray for the eternal soul of Delbert Belton and his family and friends and for a humanity who has lost its way. 
     Please join me.
With Love in Christ,
Rev. Barb

"Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Daughter Indicted for Alleged Money Laundering"

"By LEE FERRAN (@leeferran) and BRIAN ROSS (@brianross)

April 11, 2013"

"The daughter of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama's controversial former pastor, has been accused of laundering money in an alleged $1.25 million fraud led by an ex-police chief in Illinois.
Jeri L. Wright, 47, was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday for allegedly accepting $28,000 from former police chief Regina Evans and her husband, ex-police officer Ronald Evans, for Wright's supposed work related to the Evanses' not-for-profit program called We Are Our Brother's Keeper. Approximately $20,000 of that money, however, found its way back into bank accounts controlled by the Evanses, prosecutors said.
According to a release from the Department of Justice, Wright was playing a part in a scheme by the Evanses to misuse a $1.25 million state grant that had been awarded to the not-for-profit program in 2009.
We Are Our Brother's Keeper was supposed to spend the money on training up to 40 participants in bricklaying and electrical work at a Regal Theater also owned by the Evanses, but the indictment alleges that "little, if any, of the training provided in the grant agreement was ever completed."
The Evanses have been charged with more than 10 fraud-related counts. In addition to the alleged money laundering, Wright stands accused of making false statements to federal law enforcement officers and lying to a grand jury. If convicted, Wright could face potentially decades in prison."

Dear Ones:
     Heaven knows that the world of organized religion regularly 'sees' its share of gross illegalities and immoralities.
     But this article about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's daughter, Jeri L. Wright, got our attention.
     You will recall that Wright is a major proponent of the 'Black Liberation Theology' and its follow-up 'white privilege programs', popular not only in his Chicago church, but here, as well,  in the progressive liberal United Church of Christ And Unitarian Universalist churches in Connecticut and elsewhere.
     The 'theme' of these 'paradigms' is not to 'unite', but to 'demonize and divide'.
     Worse , the ultimate goal is to 'dominate' those who were former oppressors.
     As if.
     As if that is a suitable solution, any more than 'white supremacism' is a suitable solution.
      People need to get real!
      Any movement set upon deliberately shredding and unraveling the racial fabric of the United States has historically been doomed to failure ever since the Civil War.
     Somehow or another, Americans have managed to have the ''triumph of spirit' that allowed for this.
     But I see a 'change' in the air.  I see a country in all kinds of distress.  And I see a complete 'system overload' on 'false dialogues on race'.
     What might have started as reasonable dialogue has, thanks to the deadening overkill of 'political correctness', dissolved into silent resentment, fear, deceit and the bearing of false witness.
     'Race communications' have fallen by the 'wayside' in the looming shadow of threats of terrorism, financial collapse and other 'quality-of-life horrors' so endemic in the United States today.
     Worse, 'race conversations' that remain are being further obfuscated by those injecting 'Islamist' considerations them, in this day and age where everything revolves around 'terrorism'.
     I say Americans need to 'reboot and reengage' on the race issue.  We need to not 'give up' on discussions of race, because we are witnessing a decline in interracial civility, the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.
     But we have to keep it 'real', as I said.  And the way to do that is to disregard all vestiges of the bogus 'political correctness' that have brought us to where we are today.
     We can and should rationally observe the actions of those who abuse their 'positions of power' on ALL sides of the race debate, learn from them and vow to never 'do the same', ourselves.
     We can 'say we've had enough' and choose to work for 'good', but only if we throw off the mantle of false speech, false pride and false doctrine.  If you can't play this way, this is not for you, of course.
     For all others, especially for those of the Judeo-Christian tradition and for those who do not purely wish to 'dominate others', I suggest this:
     Let us subscribe to 'God Liberation Theology' first.
     It's worth a shot.
God Bless You
With Love In Christ,

GREENWICH-STAMFORD TEA PARTY PATRIOTS

MEETING TONIGHT!

MONDAY, SEPT. 5^TH, 2011, 7-9 PM

SOUTHPORT BREWING CO., 131 SUMMER ST., STAMFORD, CT

AGENDA PLEDGE AND PRAYER DISCUSSION OF WEEK’S EVENTS PLATFORM: REFINE FIRST DRAFT FOR SUBMISSION THOUGHTS ON SUNDAY DISCUSSION OF UPCOMING CAMPAIGNS DISCUSSION OF BIRTHER SUMMIT OTHER BUSINESS

From Rev. Barb:

     Please excuse my recent extended 'absence', which has been due to Hurricane Irene'.  I've been very busy and will be, yet, for a while.

     But I have some stories, photos, videos and more to share with you as soon as things settle down.  I also have some 'comments' about CL&P's 'service' to the Connecticut Community, but all that can wait!
     Suffice it to say that with all the 'anti-Tea Party sentiments and vocalizations' being expressed by our brothers and sisters in UNIONS EVERYWHERE during this past horrible week and continuing now...we will certainly be having some vital 'discussions' in the days to come.
     Surely we TEA PARTY PATRIOTS will be asking why 'once-necessary and well-intentioned' UNIONS have become the 'new war mongers' (President Barack Obama's Self-Proclaimed ARMY, no less!) of the United States...clearly intent upon initiating and fomenting a 'civil war' in America.
     Yes, we have all been suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, only to emerge from this trying time scratching our heads, wondering why our UNION FRIENDS are so bent upon harming the TEA PARTY MOVEMENT.
     Persons of faith and peace everywhere wonder just what this new Progressive-Lib 'war paradigm' is all about.
     It appalls the senses and trashes the sensitivities.
     Tea Party Patriots desire unity, peace and justice for all in our fine nation--and we certainly did not expect to be met with a contentious, belligerent and aggressive Democratic Left commandeered by UNION LEADERS!
     Does our President Obama have no sense about these things?  Does he truly believe these tactics will work to get him re-elected?
     Does the President have no conscience and discernment about what is the best for America?
     Does he truly give his 'blessing' to the war-like TEAMSTERS and other UNIONS who wish to do us TEA PARTY PATRIOTS HARM?
     As we in Connecticut and the Northeast get our 'bearings' back, we shall examine these things.
     But at this juncture, the sum total of my responses is that I plead the following things of my fellow TEA PARTY PATRIOTS: 
     Do not succumb, yourselves, to the calls for WAR and WAR-LIKE ACTIVITIES against ANYONE.
     And do not resort to any of the harmful things that the UNIONS, as well as the CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS AND OTHER 'RACE GROUPS' have set upon us!
     Treat these people, instead, with decency and dignity.  Let us do as Jesus has told us to do and try very much to love those who would insist that we are their enemies.
     There is a very real opportunity to be a 'true pacifist' here for those who are bona-fide believers in our Heavenly Father.
     As I write this, I remind myself, too, to keep my self-control in check and to greet all 'BLOWS' in a supernatural way...with a Supernatural Love.
     This is all 'only' 'politics', remember.  It is in no way WORTH jeopardizing one's mortal soul as we wind our way up to the 2012 elections.
     This 'newfound hatred' by UNIONS and BLACK RACE GROUPS towards TEA PARTY PATRIOTS will pass in time, though there is no telling how severely they intend to wound us.
     But it will all pass!!! 
     And we--if we are worth anything, at all-- must keep our eye on the prize of NOT succumbing to the lowest denominators of our 'human condition'.
     We've got to 'keep it good' and 'keep things in check', while others unravel before us.  We must 'keep it together', for ourselves, for our children and grandchildren...and, most of all...for God!
     Young people are watching us.  And they will remember and be affected by just how Mom and Pop and all the adult role models in their lives comported themselves (ourselves) at this time.
     We must lead with 'love', first and foremost.
With Love In Christ

Please read this Scripture Verse: 

Romans 12 

A Living Sacrifice

 ¹ Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. ² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

 ³ For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. ⁴ For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, ⁵ so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. ⁶ We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your^[a] faith; ⁷ if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; ⁸ if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,^[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Love in Action

 ⁹ Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. ¹⁰ Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. ¹¹ Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. ¹² Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ¹³ Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.  ¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. ¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. ¹⁶ Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.^[c] Do not be conceited.
 ¹⁷ Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. ¹⁸ If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. ¹⁹ Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”^[d] says the Lord. ²⁰ On the contrary:
   “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
   if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”^[e]
 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."  Romans 12: 1-21  (NIV)  LINK: www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12&version=NIV

"Preparing Yourself Spiritually For The 2012 Election Season" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 courtesy   www.ucc.org/news/obama-speech-in-2007-prompts-1.html

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
Dear Ones:
     In my upcoming book 'Entertaining Angels' (due to be released Dec. 21, 2012), I go to great pains to describe how 'insulated' many of us were from 'the real world' as uniform-wearing members of The Salvation Army.
     I was an exception, for  I personally watched 'cable news'...usually CNN.  And when the 'Gulf Wars' were in full effect, I actually asked 'the guys' to scrounge around for a small t.v. set so I could watch the action in 'real time'.
     Ever a fan of the superb technology of the Mossad (responsible for the very best of 'night-vision technology'), I watched tracer rounds and 'hits' directed with surgical accuracy by our finest of U.S. military forces.
     I read the newspapers and kept current on the 'big things' going on in the world, unlike many of my Salvation Army cohorts.
     I knew one young lady, an officer-school candidate, in fact, who 'hadn't read a newspaper in over two and a half years', according to her own reports.
     Judging from her 'lack of knowledge about the world', I would have to vouch that her claim was true....Though, at the time, I could not understand how she could 'exist' that way.
     On the other hand, politics never was something I either stayed on top of or got involved in.  I was 'apolitical' and proud of it to a certain degree.
     But that was actually a foolish philosophy, for Christ, himself, was hardly 'apolitical'.  He gave it to politico-religious leaders but GOOD, at times!
     And Jesus provided sure 'guidelines' for us in terms of 'serving two masters' and 'giving Cesaer his due', so I cannot say that I was not forewarned about what my life would later hold in surprise for me.
     Fast forward to 2007 summertime, June to be exact.  My local church pleaded with me to 'be their voting delegate' and to 'represent them' at the United Church of Christ (UCC) 'Synod 2007' in Hartford, CT.
     "Why ME?", I asked, without a scintilla of false modesty.  I felt their 'choice' was ludicrous!
     I was 'apolitical' (as I've said before), deliberately withholding my political views from the congregation, for I felt them to be utterly IRRELEVENT to my ministerial and counseling duties, such as they were.
     Yet, all claimed that 'I was the woman for the job' without the slightest consideration that I just might be the 'moderate-conservative' amongst them.
     I'm sorry, but if my Salvation Army background and obvious pro-life, pro-right-to-bear-arms and pro-capital punishment (in certain cases) stances weren't a dead 'give-away', I don't know what would be.
     The congregation responsible for my becoming suddenly political knew very well how strongly I subscribe to the tenets of the Bible as my Father in Heaven dictates...Not something the UCC is very notorious for.
     Yet, still they persisted and ultimately I was persuaded to attend SYNOD 2007.
     Let me now cut to the chase with this entire-church UCC 'meeting':  When I 'hit' the Hartford Civic Center, the 'keynote speaker' was one then-Senator Barack Obama.
     All were greeted out front by 'guys in suits and bow-ties', the Secret Service, and lines and lines of tables of 'Democratic operatives' who were 'signing up' and registering voters in bulk.
     I freaked.
     I was incensed to learn that this 'Synod-In-The-City' was nothing more than a 'first campaign speech opportunity' for then-Senator Barack Obama.
     Silly me--I'd actually expected for this to be a 'religious' meeting of sorts, sub-texted by some sociological workshops and an assortment of agenda items for which I would faithfully represent my local church.
     Truth to tell, until this point, I was willing to put my personal opinions aside and 'vote on behalf of my local church (FCC Stamford)' as God so directed me.  The congregation had sent me there to do just that, hadn't they?
     But once I saw all the blatant electioneering (which apparently was not witnessed by many in the UCC at all, for some strange reason!), I welched.
     The Senator Barack Obama and myself belonged to the same 'church', alright, but there was no way, no how I could sanction the rhetoric and actions of one Reverend Jeremiah Wright and company, whom Senator Obama so righteously 'admired'.
     Indeed, it only got worse for me as I returned to Stamford and finding myself in the untenable position of having to 'defend' Wright while entertaining concerns and complaints (from both the congregation and the community)  about the obvious racism in 'Black Liberation Theology'.
     I tried to 'defend things' a few times, and then said, 'to heck with it'.  This dog was not going to fly.
     Since my political awakening in 2007, I have witnessed Wright's 'fall from grace', UCC President John Thomas's 'fall from grace', and any number of truly disturbing and revolting shenanigans eeked out by 'the UCC religious community' under the guise of 'Christianity in action'.
     Well, it's anything but Christianity and so much more like a socio-political machine that certain individuals (I am not one of them, for the record) lodged a complaint with the IRS regarding the UCC's 'tax-emempt' status.
     The UCC 'skated', of course, and Obama resigned from this church.  Since then, a cascade of events has occurred which has rendered the UCC impotent and essentially 'broke'.
     There is no hope of it reactivating itself as the 'political machine' it once was, fighting so hard to get President Obama elected, for the simple reasons that they haven't the money and they are under 'scrutiny' should they ever try to play 'loose and free' with the concept of 'separation of church and state' again!
     The last thing 'they' need to do is to jeopardize their 'tax-exempt status'...again.
     Still, some effects from Synod 2007 persist, one of which is my 'personal politicization'.
      Never again will my 'Christian conscience' be totally divorced from the theater of politics.
     And never again will I ever trust a 'leader' or 'body' (religious or otherwise) engaged in the political machine while daring to claim 'theological superiority' on ANYTHING...for I know such an entity does not exist apart from the grace of God.
     Suffice it to say that I now look upon the 2012 election cycle with a mixture of cynicism, disgust, dread, hope, promise and hope--once again-- for change.
     Click on all the keywords below for full background articles on everything I've written about here, especially those of you in uber-Progressive Liberal Connecticut who are hoping to make 2012 a repeat of 2008.
     That's not going to happen.
     Our eyes are opened now and we are 'still raw' from the Bridgeport 'voter fraud' scandal of the 2010 elections here in the Nutmeg State.
     So while the 'bulk' of the Democratic 'libs' think their day in the sun is a 'lock', that is far from a sure thing this go-round.
     Voters are disappointed and sick and tired of this abysmal economy...and many are totally apathetic.
     In short, 2012 is NOT going to be a repeat of 2008.

"Please Join Me In Prayer For FCC Stamford Right Now" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson preaching on gay rights in Cuba.

Dear Ones:
     I hardly ever ask you for a very personal prayer, but I must now.
     Please pray for my church FCC Stamford (The First Congregational Church of Stamford CT).
     This is the 'church that founded Stamford'.
     This is the church that celebrated 'the first Thanksgiving', right here in New England with the Native Americans...both of whom I love so much.
     FCC Stamford was 'gathered' in 1635 and that has to count for something.
     But now it is literally at risk of total collapse.
     This is the church that was 'right and ready' at old 'Fort Stamford' to meet the needs of the people, so many years ago.
     Yet here, today, we are 'at each others' throats' over base things like politics, gay rights, power and money.
     Truly, we are in trouble and I am putting a call out for all 'prayer warriors' everywhere in the world to petition God on behalf of our church so that we do not fail due to human shortcomings.
     Yesterday, our pastor The Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson RESIGNED suddenly and abruptly, without any notice and she left the church in a state of crisis.

LINK: http://www.facebook.com/fccstamford?sk=wall

     Lord God, I humbly ask that you will make things right and help us see our way,
     Myself, I also ask dear Mother Mary to please intervene on my behalf and on the behalf of those who have lost their way at FCC Stamford.  I pray that you will open the minds and the hearts of those who no longer believe in the sanctity of YOU...especially the gay people amongst us who feel so unwanted and unloved.
     Help us all remember that you are the mother of our Risen Lord.
     Help us all remember to cast aside Christian denominational differences, 
     And help us to always remember to  pray FIRST to GOD THE FATHER and to our Brother, your Precious Son JESUS, to the Holy Spirit and also to YOU, dear Lady.
     I thank you Holy Trinity and dear Blessed Mother as your daughter for listening to all this.
In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit-
AMEN

God Bless You All

"THANK YOU, DONALD 'THE REVEALOR' TRUMP-For Getting President Obama To Release His Birth Certificate" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html

'THANK YOU, DONALD THE REVEALOR' for 'getting' President Obama to finally release his 'long-form birth certificate'!

It is NOT 'silliness' by any means.  Pursuing the truth is never meaningless, especially when it pertains to the welfare of our country.

Please try to ignore the bullying from the Progressive Left.  After a while you get used to the name-calling and snide remarks about your appearance and learn to take it in stride.

That's all the Left knows and it's just how they roll when something happens to raise their 'discomfort levels'.

I don't know what it is that was released on April 27, 2011, exactly, but you must have done some good to get such a profound response from so many.

I do, however, know something of the etiology of the phenomenon known as the 'Obama Presidency' and can tell you flat-out that what I witnessed was a real eye-opener for someone who, up until then, was almost totally apolitical!

As a member of the 'Obama/Wright' church, the UCC, I was witness to a most interesting 'interaction' of 'church and state' in Hartford, CT at 'Synod 2007'.

It caused me to become 'politically aware' almost overnight and OH HOW I WISHED a 'DONALD THE REVEALOR' would come along to get to the bottom of a few things!

And HERE YOU ARE, at last!

Politics kind of reminds me of the ballet.  Just look at how beautiful these 'pointe' shoes above, for instance.

Don't let these 'babies' fool you!  Such 'delicate' pointe shoes are pliable, tough, sturdy, hardy and can withstand an unbelievable amount of punishment...as do the feet that wear them.

And make no mistake: the slimmest 'gams', the most elegant of ankle-line is a spectre with the strength of steel while pounding the stage floor in front of the masses.  No role for 'weaklings', this.

In action, beautiful ballet shoes are noisy, sweaty, dirty, smelly and quite painful at times when injuries are present--as are the feet and legs which wear them.

In grace of line and dance and politics, there is an undeniable undercurrent of blatant brutality and real-time suffering.

It may 'look' graceful on the surface, true to purpose and faithful to the heart.

But when once in a while, we are allowed access to the 'secret world' which lies below politics and pirouettes, we just might learn that 'something really stinks'!

Of course President Obama calls your venture to 'look at his records' 'silliness'.

Well, let me tell you: pursuing the truth is never 'silliness'.

Nor is it meaningless, no matter what anyone says.

  

So I, for one, THANK YOU, 'DONALD THE REVEALOR' TRUMP for furthering the case for truthful disclosure.

God Bless You & God Bless America

Dear Ones:

     The 'eternal and never-ending' controversy about President Obama's 'religion' continues on....endlessly, it seems.

     Where there is smoke, there is fire. It's been the story of President Obama's life, in fact.
     I don't know what is truly in our leader's heart at this point and neither can you, dear Readers...or anyone else, except for God Himself, of course.
     But one thing is clear; 'the Prez' is flexible and adaptable...not only when it comes to his religion, but also when it comes to 'parsing the essence of what it means to be an American'.
     What is really in my former-fellow church member's heart (see keywords 'Synod 2007' below for our mutual involvement with the UCC church of the Reverends Jeremiah Wright and Otis Moss, et. al.) is any one's guess at all.
     But it is interesting that our 'leader' is making the effort to 'clean up' his image a bit.
     Can it be that the controversy bothers him? Or is it his 'handlers' insisting upon this image-polishing?
     Can it be that the 'religion controversy' has the potential to harm President Obama's re-election chances in 2012? Can mere 'religion' be that important to American voters?
     You betchya.
     For those who are curious, we are not left without at least some clues if we but study the 'comments section' of articles like the one above.
     Note especially the 'Obama supporters'. The ones who defend him on his controversial religious stance(s) often reject and even revile religion.
     I'm sorry to say this, but President Obama will forever and always be known for the company he keeps and for the behaviors he not only tolerates, but encourages at one time or another. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2010/02/rahm_emanuel_ap.php 
     Somehow, a staunch group of Obama supporters never miss an opportunity to express their hatred for Conservatives, fundamentalist Christians and especially members of the Tea Party.
     And boy do they have 'Potty Mouth'! (see term 'Tea Baggers' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_bag_(sexual_act)
     Triangulating this to 'hatred for all religion' is but a step away. Worse yet, we have the racial division of Black Liberation Theology. http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=59230 
     Die-hard Obama supporters literally FEAR and HATE anyone not like themselves and they are systematically dismantling the Obama Administration with their close mindedness!  
     While I'm fine with the new direction of the political winds with Republicans regaining their rightful foothold,  I do have some advice for President Obama, which I'm sure he wants about as much as another photo shoot with ____________ (fill-in-the-blank).
     While it's 'nice' that you are at least verbally expressing something of your 'essential spiritual essence', we pray that it's spoken out of the truth you have in you heart and mind and soul.
     We pray that your motives for these new spiritual 'disclosure' stems not just from political motive, but from the depths of your being.
     We pray that you are speaking and doing these things not to please people, but to please God.
     "To thine own self be true", my Mama always said and she wasn't kidding. We pray that this might be the case with our President.
      Perhaps the onerous realities and responsibilities of being President of the United States of America has served to chasten and refine. Perhaps Barack Obama is finally able to see past the 'ambitions of Barry the boy' and onto the 'realities of President Obama the man'.
     Good Christian men and women know how to thank God for all they have and all they are. Maybe our President is as well.  Then again, maybe the President was just 'working the Christmas angle' to his political advantage.
     But what will convince ME of President Obama's true spiritual enlightenment is when he chastises his own enthusiastic supporters.
     The President needs to tell his own to knock off calling everyone and their uncle ugly names like 'racist, bigot, homophobe, etc. at the drop of the hat.  Each time an Obama supporter calls a Tea Party member a 'Tea Bagger', they dishonor only themselves and the President.
     The Tea Party is strong and resilient.  And the world is watching.
     President Obama has a perfect opportunity this 2011 to redeem himself himself by setting a higher standard for himself, his staff and for all his supporters. 
     But will he avail himself of it?
     Perhaps President Obama with his 'newfound Christian inclinations' will show us, his United States citizens, some love.  Perhaps he will discourage his 'name-callers'.
     Clean out your 'Potty Mouths', Mr. President.  And make sure to do it publicly, so we all can see.  Name-calling is silly, anyway.  It irritates only for a minute, is ultimately ineffective, bespeaks poorly of the one engaging in it and worst of all, it's the only thing voters will remember about you!
     Heaven knows there are enough racists, bigots and 'phobes' of all types to go around.  It hardly seems necessary for pro-Obama Progressive-Lib Dems to continue their cheap verbal shots since our Creator knows just who 'is' and who 'isn't' and who's 'struggling'.
     The elections of 2012 are a-coming and the Tea Party is good-to-go.  'Potty Mouths' get voted out and--YES!--that is a BIG FINE DEAL! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/03/23/2010-03-23_vice_president_joe_biden_calls_health_care_reform_a_big_fing_deal_during_signing.html

"President Obama, Let Me Help You Make Good On Repairing US-Islamic Relations-At Least By Listening" By Reverend Barbara Sexton www.DearOnesHealingMinistry.blogspot.com

Obama Seeks to Repair US-Islamic Relations

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html

Declaring that "Indonesia is part of me," President Obama issued a strikingly personal appeal to the Muslim world to join the West in an unrelenting battle to defeat al-Qaida and violent extremism. He urged both sides to look beyond "suspicion and mistrust" to forge common ground against terrorism.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Can our President DO it?  Can he actually somewhat IMPROVE US-Islamic relations?  And, if so..inquiring minds want to know...HOW? Just HOW is he going to accomplish this?
    I think I might have some really constructive suggestions for him, but first we all, President Obama included, need to understand and acknowledge certain 'truths'.
     First of all, his good looks and charming personality are not going to be enough for him or any one of us.  FACT    
     Secondly, he must acknowledge, as must we all, that his latest trip to Indonesia yielded some really very, very bad protests.  These are very powerful protests against not only 'BARRY' as he is known in Indonesia, but also against the US--the American people.  I have a new level of concern I hadn't expected to have as a result of the President's recent trip... and you should too. 
     As sure as I am that President Obama was hurt and hurt badly by the hostile Islamic reception he got by Muslim extremists, I am MORE concerned about the reception he received as it relates to us.  Let's face it, the 'message' our President sends out to the world is important for all of us.

     Lest you think that I am 'over-personalizing' the spiritual connection between myself and our President, I assure you that I am not.  Then-Senator Barack Obama's 'KEYNOTE SPEECH' at our church meeting, SYNOD 2007, resounds ever in my brain.
     You should know that we were connected for 22+ years by being fellow members of the UCC, the Obama/Rev.Jeremiah Wright church.  Probably the First Lady had the MOST contact with the congregation there in Chicago, but she's not the President and isn't talking to Muslim world leaders (...directly and officially, anyway).
     It is BECAUSE of our 'shared UCC experience' that I have an especially 'vested interest' as an American Citizen and non-Muslim Christian in what President Obama has to say about himself and his religious views to the rest of the world. 
     I am especially interested in those views for they affect the well-being of my family, my friends and my brothers and sisters in Christ...considering all the 'religious TERRORISM' directed daily at the United States.
     So thirdly, let's just 'cut to the chase' with my advice for President Obama.  He needs to declare-in no uncertain terms-what his true religion IS and where his spiritual heart lies. 
     Let him check one, two or even 'NONE', if only so that we can know what to expect on the world scene.  This 'religion question' is SO MUCH LARGER than any one person and President Obama needs to realize it now. 

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/09/obama-in-indonesia-2010_n_780884.html#s177881

     So let our President state ONCE AND FOR ALL if he is: Christian, Muslim, agnostic, atheist, human secularist, none-of-the above, all-of-the-above or whatever.  At this point, I DON'T CARE! 
     Would he merely have us CONTINUE to draw our own conclusions, an act that ramps up the risk for ALL AMERICANS? If so, he puts us all in danger. 
     Don't you agree it is better that our President DECLARE his SPIRITUAL and RELIGIOUS PREFERENCES ONCE AND FOR ALL???
     I do.
     If there are those of you who are 'curious' about what this Christian 'clergyperson' thinks of President Obama, I will tell you, based on my observations and faith.  The President and I are, after all, brother and sister of the same church--unless he's formally resigned from the United Church of Christ, the UCC, that is. 
     I haven't resigned and may never.  My daughter and many friends are members, after all and I'm a little 'long in the tooth'.  I may need a 'burying church', sooner than later! 
     So I'm going to wait for the United Church of Christ to put me in 'stocks' or, maybe, 'dunk me'!  I'll keep you apprised of the situation in case they decide that it'd be more expedient to 'have a burning'...herbalist and visionary that I am...so stay tuned.
     But seriously, to understand my full involvement with the Obama/Wright church check out 'Synod 2007', the 'UCC' and 'FCC Stamford' below.  I was sent AS A VOTING DELEGATE to Synod 2007-despite my protestations- to Hartford in June of 2007 in order to represent my local UCC church.
     And that was the beginning of the end of my 'political naivete' as one of the UCC's 'finest'.
     My local church is "The Pilgrim Church" (that's right!)where the 'first Thanksgiving was held'.  To this day, a Community Thanksgiving Dinner is held for any who wish to partake.
     After first landing in Wethersfield, CT, The First Congregational Church of Stamford was 'gathered' in 1635--pretty old, that.  Things were so 'tough' for the earlier settlers that if not for the Native Americans in the area, they would have died.
     So bad was one winter, that one early Thanksgiving, each church settler was given but FIVE KERNELS OF PLANTING CORN, to EAT or to save for planting.  God Bless our Native Americans for teaching the early settlers to eat what they considered to be 'sea vermin' or 'rats of the sea'--lobster--which was so abundant that it crawled all over the shores of the Long Island Sound, imagine that!
     But I digress and must 'get back to' President Obama's home UCC church.  While 'we' were known as the 'Pilgrim Church Built on the Rock', President Obama's famed Reverend Jeremiah Wright-Reverend Otis Moss-Father Flager-Black Liberation Army church is
Trinity Chicago. LINK; http://www.trinitychicago.org/ 
     The implications of what you read here is that just as President Obama is not 'black enough' or 'white enough' for some...neither is he, apparently 'Muslim enough' or Christian enough.
     Frankly, I'm surprised that he wasn't completely warmly embraced on his trip to his 'homeland' of Indonesia.  Instead, it appears he's brought the IRE of radical Muslims down even more heavily on ALL of us! 
     Theologically, it is easy to understand why President Obama infuriates so many.   
     The President's Chicago Trinity 'Black Liberation Theology' 'problem' is, I believe, mostly an American one, but the world takes note of it. 
     The whole concept of 'Black Liberation Theology' aka 'BLT' smacks of the KKK and the Aryan Nation philosophies we are all too familiar with. 
     President Obama needs to 'do something', because TOO MANY are being mislead and misinformed about what he really 'is' and what he really 'stands for'.  Surely he can 'fill the bill' by more clearly and definitively defining himself, a simple task if ever there was one.

     As a Grandma, I can see that the President has a large need to 'be liked by all'.  I can identify with his Grandparents, but 'naive little Barry' who believes he can be 'all things to all people' has run his course. 
     This said, I would beg President Obama to impose upon himself a REALITY CHECK and open his eyes to global realities.
     He needs to address his apparent lack of 'devotional fidelity to any one religion or another' so that we will all be safer and more secure here in America.
     The poor guy (yes, I am almost starting to feel sorry for him)is held with suspicion by mainstream Christians, mainstream Muslims and mainstream Jews.  What this tells us is that President Obama needs to declare, once and for all, what his 'spiritual base' really is...if he has one, that is.
     I pray to God that he does and that he is able to imprint his devotional realities--even if he's a non-believer--on his children and family in a meaningful way.
     Michelle Obama is her own person, but the President holds our lives in his very hands by what he says or doesn't say. 
     Simply putting your hands on your chests for the 'Pledge Of America' and repeating 'one Nation under God' is not enough for anyone, nowadays, including American citizens.
     I don't want a 'successful' toner cartridge bomb or something equally malevolent to explode over MY house and over MY loved ones (from all countries and with different religious and cultural backgrounds, I might add).  And so I beg President Obama to 'get it in gear' with our 'safety'.
     No matter what the President or anyone in the world says, we ARE fighting a 'Holy War'..and one not of our own making.  Just look at France and especially ENGLAND for a portent of things to come.
     President Obama is a strong guy and his recent unkind, unfavorable and downright nasty 'reception' by many in his 'beloved homeland Indonesia' is proof positive that he needs spiritual help.
     Whatever tactic he's using now isn't working.  Just read this: "Obama took care in his remarks to note that he is Christian; back home in the U.S., he continues to fight erroneous perceptions that he is Muslim. Obama occasionally studied the Quran and visited a local mosque when he lived here. But he spent hardly any time in the speech discussing Islam or his religious background, except to describe Islam as a "great world religion." LINK: http://www.military.com/news/article/obama-seeks-to-repair-usislamic-relations.html?ESRC=eb.nl        
     I am concerned because it is no stretch to say that the very well-being of all Americans now hangs on the decisions our President makes.  I sorry to say this...but discussing or not discussing any particular religion will not do you any good, Mr. President. 
    I know that "Indonesia is a part of you", as "the Ukraine" is for me.  But honesty and clarification need to be a part of us also, if we are to do any 'good.
     Be like me and accept the fact that sometimes you CAN'T go home and accept the fact that your 'homeland' may be radioactive.
     I know what I'm talking about. My maternal homeland is not a place I can ever 'go home to again' because it IS radioactive.
     But you, Mr. President, can give United States Service Members a wonderful VETERANS DAY GIFT simply by DECLARING YOURSELF one way or another in this day and age of HOLY WAR and Islamic extremism!
     Why not just DO it?
For you with Love in Christ,
Reverend Barbara Sexton
