Progressive-Lib Political Stuff by those too lazy or too corrupt to look for the truth, who ask me (formatting 'as is'):

Dear Reverend Barbara,

You appear to be a wacky reverend with a wacky website that supports a candidate who likes wacky tabacky.
Just what is a biblical biochemist?
And why are you Lately of the UCC-United Church of Christ (the Obama/Reverend Jeremiah Wright church)?
Does Robert "I Got High And Forgot To Vote" Merkle attend your church and get spiritual advice and counseling from you?

"Preparing Yourself Spiritually For The 2012 Election Season" 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
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.

"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

"2008 Quote From OBAMA: ‘IF THEY BRING A KNIFE TO THE FIGHT, WE BRING A GUN!" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross'

christian Graphic Comments
UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
Dear Ones:
     Remember this?  When I first HEARD IT, I couldn't BELIEVE it.  What kind of speech is this?  I was astounded by it THEN...and I am astounded by it NOW...especially in light of recent news events. 
     The fact is that the President 'sets the tone' for everyone in this country.  I ask you to pray for all the innocents killed and hurt as a result of self-proclaimed atheist shooter's Jared Loughner actions.
     Way back in June 2008, Barack Obama said, "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night."
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/06/14/obama-if-they-bring-a-knife-to-the-fight-we-bring-a-gun/
     I couldn't believe my ears the first go around.  The quote in fuller context goes on here:
     "Mobster wisdom tells us never to bring a knife to a gun fight. But what does political wisdom say about bringing a gun to a knife fight? Sen. Barack Obama talks at a town hall meeting at Radnor Middle School in Wayne, Pa., Saturday, June 14. (AP)
     That’s exactly what Barack Obama said he would do to counter Republican attacks “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
     The comment drew some laughs and applause. But it also struck a chord with his Republican rival. John McCain’s campaign immediately accused the Democratic candidate of playing the politics of fear. They also mentioned that Obama said he would use a gun that would be illegal under Obama’s plans to cut down on illegal firearms."

Please God- Keep Such Violence & Hatred  In Politics Away From Us
AMEN.

"President Obama's New Spiritual Advisor" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
Dear Ones:
     I think the President is struggling to find his 'true spiritual center'. He lacks a 'spiritual advisor' as far as the public knows, and his last one was a disaster politically for him.
     I can understand his being 'wary' of such advisors. And I understand him being wary of his/our former affiliation with the United Church of Christ, the UCC. It's a mish-mash of uber 'if it feels good and raises money, let's do it' theology with little accountability to anyone.
     But the UCC did provide a 'platform' for President Obama to deliver his first Presidential campaign speech (his/their words) in June of 2007 in Hartford, CT.
     Trouble is, the UCC is dying on the vine and I don't think they'd take the chance of being accused of 'breaching the line between church and state' again. 
     All things considered, both Mr. Obama and myself are well rid of close association with that group...though I am still, technically, a member and for all we know, he, too, has maintained at least 'associative' status there. 
     Considering the 'kill the white devil' and 'chickens coming home to roost' mentality of Reverend Jeremiah Wright and company, it would be a real shame for our first black president to still be on board with that, don't you think?
      Surely we are all expecting better of him, this President who claims to 'want to unify', than to embrace 'Black Liberation Theology', right?
       It is quite possible that Obama is the 'new and improved President Obama'.  He may actually have had some understanding of how hateful and hurtful his beloved Chicago Trinity Church's teachings are to anyone 'not like they are'.
     It could be our President has morphed.
     If so, he should make amends and 'declare a new spiritual home',based on 'improved counsel'.  Be it church or mosque or a place where both reign (such as the UCC), he really should say so.
      What is there to hide, anyway?
     Obama knows by now that he is bound to anger many, no matter who or what he chooses, the unenviable position for someone who is so high-profile.
     But if the President wishes to remain in his 'high-profile position', he needs to come clean with us regarding the church-dealings/events/venues he used so freely last go-round. 
      Indeed, those pesky 2012 elections are coming up and if Barack Obama hopes to avail himself again of that glorious 'worship bully pulpit', he needs to act and act fast.
     We believers know that at the end of the day, President Obama will be judged just like the rest of us poor slobs, for all he has done and said and not done and left unsaid. 
     Someday he will have to explain how he left the Muslim v. Christian controversy 'float' for so long and what his 'motives' are for doing so.  A simple statement would go a long way Mr. President.
     Alas, we are born alone, we die alone and we will have to account for ourselves--alone.
     It's true.
     So I do pray President Obama has or will have the spiritual discernment to make wise choices for himself and his family with that 'free will' the Good Lord gave him.
     I pray he honors God above all, coming to peace with the uneven and tumultuous cultural and religious exposures he had during his non-traditional childhood.
     Let our President think for himself, as he will be judged for himself. 
     An honest reflection will reveal that the man who 'used' the church to get elected must now live with the consequences and figure out what 'to do' for 2012.
      Me--I left the UCC precisely because I got sick and tired of hearing Progressive Lib Democrat politics literally preached from the pulpit during 'worship'.  It was especially distressful to me since I was a mute on my political standings.  I was a quiet, apolitical moderate-conservative with some liberal social leanings at the time.
     All was fine with me and the UCC until I expressed my opinions.  For such an open and affirming church, they sure live a lie, I quickly learned.
     But oh what a difference an election cycle or two makes!
     Now the 2012 elections are looming.   This is as good a time as any for anyone running for President to declare their true religious affiliations, if any.
      American voters are funny when it comes to their chosen candidates, officials, elections and religion.
      We want them to keep it honest.  We  want them to keep it simple.
With Love in Christ

"Obama As A Christian This Christmas--My Advice To Him" By Reverend Barbara Sexton

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

     The 'eternal and never-ending' controversy about President Obama's 'religion' continues on....endlessly, it seems. Read here this article entitled "Obama Tries to Reassert His Christian Bona Fides, With Words and Deeds" LINK:  http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/01/02/obama-tries-to-reassert-his-christian-bona-fides-with-words-and/
     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

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

More... http://www.military.com/news/article/obama-seeks-to-repair-usislamic-relations.html?ESRC=eb.nl

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

    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.
LINK: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/09/obama-in-indonesia-2010_n_780884.html#s177873
     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,

" AFTER THE MATH-Part I-Focus On ART MOORE Of WND": "ILLEGALS MADE DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR IN CONNECTICUT?--'Sanctuary City' Issued Thousands of IDs Accepted For Voter Registration" Commentary By Reverend Barbara Sexton

Martha Dean (CPBN Media Lab)

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
Dear Readers:
     Here we go.  Admit it--this is the article you've been 'waiting for' and I don't blame you.  You've been 'kept in suspense' lo these many post-election days...and with good reason. 
     The game of 'legal roulette' some like to engage in at election time is variable in it's duration, scope and it's outcome, as we in Connecticut well know.  The fact is, sometimes...just sometimes...that old roulette wheel takes a very, very long time to come to a stop!
     So finally, here it is, the first in a series I have entitled, "AFTER THE MATH" and this is Part I.  My "AFTER THE MATH" Series will highlight and detail post-midterm election 2010 updates in Connecticut and nationwide. 
     The series will contain reporting and analysis as only I can deliver it--as a long-term member of the CHURCH behind the 'President and the Progressive-Lib Democrats.  (See 'SYNOD 2007' below)  Although I am no legal expert, I pray that you find it interesting, at the very least.  We'll start with this 'piece' by ART MOORE of WORLD NET DAILY.
       We live in an age where truth is fully expendable and where 'the Progressive-Lib Dem' mentality manifests every form of 'Godlessness' known to mankind.  Laws are broken with 'organized finesse', or, failing that, with 'blunt force'.  No matter...the MENTALITY is the MESSAGE!
     And we get it!  We, in Connecticut, as in other states, have seen the PROGRESSIVE-LIB DEM MENTALITY run roughshod over decency on many levels.  While nationally, the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS and other Grassroots initiatives have made progress, here in the Nutmeg State we still have much work to do.
     The 'NUTMEG' is a tough nut to crack.  In fact, you can't--it must be grated on a metal grater and VIGOROUSLY at that.  And technically it's a 'FRUIT' from an evergreen species known as Myristica fragrans  (pron: meh-RIS-TEEK-ah  FRAY-grans) an evergreen tree indigenous to--like PRESIDENT OBAMA--Indonesia!
LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutmeg
     Enough with our botany lesson.  Now read here how those of us who have worked to make certain that WE and our IMMIGRANT LOVED ONES are LEGAL have been run 'roughshod over' by the LEFT.  Aside from the LEGALITIES, I ask you, "How UNCONSCIONABLE is it for a political MACHINE to subjugate, enslave and exploit an entire group of people--illegal ALIENS?
     Who are these ILLEGALS issued ID cards in CONNECTICUT?  Are they innocent victims simply seeking a better life in America and willing to break the law to do so?  Or are they 'running from something' in their native country?  Maybe they're TERRORISTS who are using the LEFT THEMSELVES and are here with the sole intention of doing harm?
     The Republicans, some 'good' Democrats and unaffiliated voters sure would like to know, even if others don't.

Illegals made Democrat governor in Connecticut?

'Sanctuary city' issued thousands of IDs accepted for voter registration

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

Connecticut's lame-duck attorney general and new senator-elect, Richard Blumenthal, is obligated to investigate credible accusations of voter fraud that linger in the state's gubernatorial election – including possible illegal alien voting – despite Republican candidate Tom Foley's concession yesterday to Democratic opponent Dannel Malloy, charges the GOP's attorney general candidate in last Tuesday's election, Martha Dean


Dean, who is considering further legal action challenging the eligibility of her victorious Democratic opponent, argued Blumenthal is sworn to uphold the federal and state constitutions, making it his obligation to investigate voter fraud "without regard to whether it has been requested or approved by the secretary of state."


Foley supports continued investigation of the allegations but has concluded "there was no credible evidence of fraudulent voting" that would have altered the result.


Allegations include extended voting hours in Democratic-stronghold Bridgeport announced illegally through the reverse 911 system, unattended bags of ballots, ballots photocopied without supervision and union workers leaving replica ballots in polling booths with Democratic candidates checked off.


Republicans cried foul last week after the state's top election official – Democratic Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz – declared the Democratic candidate the winner despite the absence of an official vote count and a post-deadline tally from Bridgeport that overcame the Republican candidate's lead.


But amid the numerous reported allegations, little has been said about the possibility that illegal aliens decided a gubernatorial race in which the candidates officially were separated by just 5,810 votes out of more than 1 million cast, Dean told WND.


Dean noted that both the mayors of New Haven and Hartford have declared their cities "sanctuary cities" for illegal aliens. She pointed out that over the past three years, New Haven has issued ID cards to about 15,000 people, ostensibly to enable them to use public services such as the library....

EXCERPT:
"The right to vote is a fundamental constitutional right," she told WND. "That right is abridged unlawfully when illegal aliens are allowed to cancel out the votes of American citizens and, in some cases, determine elections." The right to vote is a fundamental constitutional right," she told WND. "That right is abridged unlawfully when illegal aliens are allowed to cancel out the votes of American citizens and, in some cases, determine elections." LINK: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=225853



EXCERPT:Dean called Bysiewicz's declaration of her fellow-Democrat Malloy as the winner last week, without announcing the vote count, a "brazen partisan act and improper use of her office." LINK: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=225853


EXCERPT:
Poll workers in Bridgeport reported they observed information being handed out to people walking to polling booths, including sample ballots with Democratic candidates checked off. Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch also revealed that a bag of 336 unopened ballots was belatedly found at a polling site, according to the New York Times. The ballots were counted and included in the final tally....  LINK: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=225853

EXCERPT:
"Finch contended that the judge who extended the hours had ordered the use of the reverse 911 system. But a copy of the judge's two-page emergency order made no specific mention of a calling system."

"TEA PARTY LOSES IN CT, SLAMS HOME RUN NATIONALLY" By Reverend Barbara Sexton

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP-kuwvIuVQ&feature=player_profilepage
WHEN MIDTERM ELECTION NIGHT IS SCARIER THAN HALLOWEEN!
UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
Dear Readers:
     What a day...what a night...what an election, yesterday! 
     My very first foray into 'political activism' culminated in an abysmal loss for TEA PARTY-endorsed candidates in Connecticut, but not elsewhere.  Nationally, we had A BIG WIN!  So all-in-all it was a terrific day!
     From Day 1, we knew that Connecticut would be a 'tough nutmeg to crack'.  Considering how 'miserably marginal' many of the Progressive-Lib Dems' 'wins' were, I'd say we've made major progress nationally even in uber-liberal areas, so it's all good!
     Poor President Obama, tail between his legs, tried to 'reach out' as he hasn't before.  The guy looks relieved, truth to tell, like someone who is almost glad that he can acknowledge he's 'in over his head'.
     And no doubt, our President is surrounded by synchophants who are ALSO IN OVER THEIR heads--like the Election officials in Bridgeport, Connecticut!
     Hard as it is to believe, these people failed to have a sufficient number of ballots for registered voters yesterday!   Surely, these incompetents leave the following questions to be answered:
     Why were so few ballots ordered, as claimed? 
     Who came up with the original 'order number' and how did they come up with it?
     Were so few ballots actually ordered or is that just the claim? 
     If the full amount of ballots were ordered, was the surplus hidden or stored and if so, where...or were they destroyed?
     Were so few ballots DELIBERATELY ordered so as to create an irregularity at Bridgeport voting places?
     Were any of the 'photocopied emergency ballots' pre-marked and if so, by whom and when and where?
     Who are those responsible for the dearth of ballots?  What are their political affiliations?  Who are they working for?
     When was the ballot-shortage discovered?  Was it acted upon promptly?
     Obviously this is not a comprehensive list of questions, but perhaps Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch will step up to the plate and initiate a thorough and ethical investigation.
     Yesterday was interesting in Stamford, too.  For the first time ever, I served as a 'Runner' at a local polling place.  A 'Runner' is legally designated to 'collect data from a polling place'.
      My little BlackBerry in hand, I essentially entered voter numbers all day long.  I found many discrepancies, inconsistencies and inaccuracies, which I cannot discuss here. 
     It is any one's guess what these discrepancies, inaccuracies and inconsistencies mean, but better brains than my own will be looking into all of them.
     I'm 'good' with bulk data because I enjoy handling it.  And I enjoy the 'pressure to perform' for a good cause.  Still, my responsibility was only to cross names off a list of registered voters.   But little did I know that my 'exercise' was destined to turn into much more.
     Within two hours of the beginning of my data collection, the 'BIG BOOK LADY' balked at the Moderator asking her to 'check things' at my request regarding the 'discrepancies, inaccuracies and inconsistencies' I refer to above.    
     After a lengthy discussion, I was told that it was 'no one's province' to provide any clarification of the input data they were obliged by law to provide to 'us', or to 'me in particular', as an official 'runner'.
     I don't know if that's true, but it was 'slow' at the time and it would have been a simple matter to look up a few more numbers and names for me so that my records could be reconciled...and so I would 'shut up'.
     In no uncertain terms, the 'BIG BOOK LADY' let me know that I was annoying her.
     Yep, the 'BIG BOOK LADY' and her cohorts were clearly not going to be bothered, whereupon two hours into my endeavor, I simply declared, "OKAY, I'll collect my slips, enter what I can and in the case of more than one voter for a number, enter the FIRST-alphabetically-by default-and let it all be examined afterwards."
     And that's precisely what I did until 8:00 pm when the polls closed.  A colleague of mine who monitored the situation first hand the entire time argued about 'it not doing any good after the fact' (to reconcile the data).  How true, how true.
     But as a 'Runner' and a 'political newbie', I decided to just collect my data like a good girl and let the waves roll as they may afterwards.
     By the end of the day, the 'BIG BOOK LADY' and her cohorts wouldn't even talk to me.  So much for our political officials being unbiased and non-partisan. 
     It would have been so easy to take a few moments to help reconcile some data, but no, there was no interest in doing that.  In all fairness I have to say that the Moderator under whom I worked at my assigned polling place is a good guy.  He did his best to accommodate me, at first, with understanding for the need to answer my questions. 
     But, alas, the Moderator, too, was subject to the vagaries of the 'BIG BOOK LADY' and I easily decided to not make the fellow's life any more difficult than it already was.
     This is only politics, after all.
     I'm sure you readers can appreciate the irony, then, that I was subjected to having just dealt with 'THE BIG BOOK LADY' and her cronies as I drove over to the Foley Event at the Greenwich Hyatt on election night.  It was then that I got my first hint of the problems in Bridgeport with their apparent 'shortage of paper ballots' in a radio report. 
     As I drove along, I heard that many polling places in Bridgeport were going to stay open until 10:00 pm.  I wondered 'how the heck this ballot shortage could happen?' but after what I'd witnessed first-hand here in Stamford, I really was not at all surprised about the Bridgeport situation.
     Sure people deserve to vote.  But any 'Registrar of Voters' who screws up THAT badly is suspect in my book.  Lack of cooperation, partisanship and 'dislike' of others not like themselves is something I understand about election officials and accept it for what it is.  But the Bridgeport situation  is a whole different kettle of fish. 
     The TEA PARTY lost big in Connecticut, but nationally we kicked butt.  Reports at this moment state that "Dannel Malloy is the winner in the CT Gubernatorial Race and a recount will not be necessary".
     It's good to know that the Progressive-Lib Dems have such a superior knowledge about 'what will or will not need to be recounted', even before the final count is actually completed.  Is this 'super-intelligent and legitimate data handling', 'wishful thinking' or 'something else'?
     Do we have the right to ask such questions or will the 'Lady with the 'Big Book' once again ball her pudgy little hands into tight fists saying  "ENOUGH!  IT'S NOT MY JOB!".  Will the CT Secretary of State tell us the WE ARE NOT ALLOWED A RECOUNT?  Will the MALLOY CAMPAIGN stand in the way of one?  Will we be told to GO AWAY?   
     Well, we're NOT going away.  We HAVE taken over the house.  Things WILL be different nationally and locally.  We won BIG this election cycle and it WAS a referendum on President Obama and the Democrats.  Best of all WE FIRED NANCY PELOSI! YAY!!!!!!!!
     But Connecticut is Connecticut, after all, and that means it's 'Progressive-Lib-ville' and will stay so for a while it seems.  But that's okay because 2012 is around the corner.
     I hope Dannel Malloy enjoys his marginal 'win'...if it is a win at the end of the sure-to-come investigative process' and I hope the Progressive-Lib Dems are proud of themselves. 
     They did it!  They rule the teeney 'Nutmeg Isle' and I suggest their first order of business after their gloating settles down be the installation of a 'TEA PARTY REPUBLICAN TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEM'.
     They'll need it starting immediately and especially for 2012.  They'll never get it up in time with their organizational paradigm, but it will be interesting to watch them try.  Sad for them that the Democrats are brutally DIVIDED in Connecticut as they are all over the U.S.A.
     We all know that 'a house divided against itself will not stand'.
     And if the MALLOY CAMP has any class at all, it will be DEMANDING A RECOUNT themselves, though I won't hold my breath for that likely non-eventuality. 
     Maybe I'm naive, but I would want to know that the candidate I supported won 'fair and square'.  'What say you, Malloy supporters?'
     Anyway, yesterday provided me with a great costume idea for Halloween.  Next year I'll have a new costume that is destined to scare adults and kids alike when I dress up as 'THE BIG BOOK LADY'!
     My white knuckled fists clenched in defiance, I will scare the DICKENS out of young and old alike!
     Aaarrrrgggggghhhhh!  HERE SHE COMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All joking aside,
I pray that God will Bless All our duly Elected Officials, our Candidates, their teams, the electorate and the constituency.  In short-
GOD BLESS AMERICA
