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?

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
Rev. Barbara Sexton

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

Dear Ones:
     If you are a voter (or expect to be registering in time to vote) in CT, you owe it to yourself to watch this TEA PARTY PATRIOTS video.
     Kudos to CT TEA PARTY PATRIOTS representative Ron Wilcox, for expressing it all so accurately, boldly and succinctly.
     It is our belief that informed voters are empowered voters.  Especially in this day and age of fiscal irresponsibility, voters need to take things in hand and make some REAL changes in CT and across the Nation.

"Greenwich-Stamford TEA PARTY PATRIOTS Demonstration At Ferguson Sun 14, 2011 A Great SUCCESS!" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 Dear Ones:

     YES!!! On this wonderful, beautiful rainy day, eight (8) proud TEA PARTY PATRIOTS quietly and respectfully held signs for passers-by to read.

     In a world where places like Texas and Somalia have been subjected to some of the worst droughts in history...how could we NOT love the beautiful, beautiful rain here in the N.E. that God has bestowed upon us?

     I said we were quiet and the only time we may have 'yelled' at bit was when some kindly drivers tooted their horns in support of us.

     In case they don't realize it, let me tell those 'horn-tooters' something: We appreciate your encouragement much more than you can ever know--especially in 'Progressive Liberal' SW CT!

     But rest assured, though Greenwich-Stamford TEA PARTY PATRIOTS may be small in number, our INTENTIONS are VERY LARGE.

     We want better lives for ALL people, not only in Connecticut, but all over the USA.  The beauty of Connecticut with it's diversity is that we are in a position to help ALL people here legally, both citizens and those hoping to become citizens. 

     We are in a dynamic state with the potential to really make a difference!

     From a pastoral stand-point, I say, "It is easy to be kind to those who 'like' you...but as a decent peoples--religious or not--the real challenge is to assure a good quality-of-life for all who love this country and are asking for help.

     That simply is not happening now with our current political leaders.  They haven't been able to provide people with something as simple as a JOB for years now!  CT has seen businesses driven away in droves for quite a while now.

     YES-Connecticut is a 'study in frustration' for conservatives and even for 'moderates' who aren't part of the 'old boy network'.  Yet I am encouraged at this time that we TEA PARTY PATRIOTS have the very wonderful opportunity to really make a difference and improve the lives of those in the Nutmeg state!

     WON'T YOU JOIN US?

     My precious 'plea' is to those who are no longer enchanted with the current administration state-wise and nationally.  Perhaps you will consider looking more fully into the Greenwich-Stamford TEA PARTY PATRIOTS and find out just what we really are all about.

     Predictably, we must 'do all things for ourselves' for the most part and that's okay. I would like to encourage all you 'honkers' to JOIN US at what will be regular Sunday peaceful and informative demonstrations in front of Stamford Library and other places to be announced.

     I promise you, you will make a difference--not only for yourselves, but for your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, too!

     My 'sign' reads, "LET'S HELP HEAL OUR BELOVED AMERICA!".

     Who doesn't agree with that?

     Do you?

God Bless You & God Bless America

"Aug 3, 2011 1:32:23 PM

All this GD manufactured crises dog and pony show and they didn't fix the problem. Smoke and mirrors and pontificating politicians. Bi-Partisan compromise compromised into not doing enough. The standard political fraud perpetrated on the voters again. We have been telling people for at least twenty years when the baby boomer explosion hits entitlements it is going to bankrupt the social security ponzie scheme and it will collapse under it's own weight. We told you if entitlements are not reformed they will eat up the entire GNP. We told you people with no credit and no money will default on their mortgages at the drop of a hat. We told you credit card companies were screwing the public blind. We told you Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Fanny and Freddy were screwing the country for campaign money. We told you the two so called stimulus packages were an out and out fraud. How much did that add to the debt. Oh no, it's two wars and the defense budget.Borrowed money to spend on pork and political favors. Creating jobs? Just words, don't mean nothin'. We told you two hundred years ago when the people find out they can vote themselves "free" money this country will be in one hell of a lot of trouble. We told you Obama is a radical socialist and my fellow American idiot voters didn't listen. We told you the far left is determined to spend this country into a total financial collapse because the hate capitalism. We told you arithmetic is the only pure science. One and one is always two. The accounting balance sheet doesn't lie. When we spend 1/3 more than we take in we go broke. Anybody who has maxed out their credit card and lost their job knows this. Somehow the logic is lost on libs. I told you both parties are run by North-Easter Elite liberals. The Elites screw the conservative new kids EVERY TIME. Watch the last half hour of Brave Heart, that's them. And I told you when liberals are loosing the argument the resort to name calling and insults. So the T-Party are terrorists now? The T-Party are average Americans who are fed up to the stack swivel with Washington. The Elites in both Parties insulting the T-Party is some new way to get votes. Morons!! O'Reilly and Krauthammer are them. We get the government we vote for. The people have voted to screw themselves. It's Bush's fault? BS! It's all their fault. EVERY President since Reagan has worse than the last. Reagan made mistakes, but nothing like this current crop. We finally hit the intellectual bottom of the barrel. For years the Democrat Party has been the wolf in sheep's clothing. The people were fooled by the wolf. In their colossal arrogance the Democrats dropped the sheep's clothing and showed everybody exactly who they are. Well the wolf is at the door and is fooling nobody any more. Politicians in both parties jumping out of windows in 2012. Can't get here soon enough. All the intellectually bankrupt libs have left is insults and name calling. 2012 will be the dirtiest most vicious political campaign in recent history. The wolf is backed into an indefensible corner. Watch Democrats run as T-Party. Lies for the votes."

"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.

Posted By:

Reverend Barbara Sexton

     I want a better future for the next generation and those to come afterwards. And that is why I am a proud TEA PARTY PATRIOT.

     In America, I expect that we each can define OURSELVES by our words, deeds and actions.  And I suggest that any 'pseudo-welcoming/affirming/inclusive' Progressive Liberals' GET WITH THE PROGRAM!

     Instead of proffering forth your own warped and corrupt 'version' of what YOU THINK the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS are all about...let's look at what is happening in our country even as we speak.

     We're 'broke'.  We're disenfranchised.  We're overly 'Obamafied' and it's time for a change.

     So if today's economic news has you down...if you are unemployed, still or again...if you are disgusted by what passes as 'acceptable' in places like Syria where the American Flag is burned and desecrated as so much trash....Just keep on keeping on with whatever you are doing with your fellow Progressive Liberal cohorts.

     But Heaven forbid you should THINK AND MAKE JUDGEMENTS for YOURSELVES!  The libs currently in power wouldn't LIKE that, would they?

     But if you've HAD IT, go to the Greenwich-Stamford TEA PARTY PATRIOTS meeting TONIGHT, details above.

     YOU can make a difference!

     YOU can stop the financial hemorrhaging of our fine country with it's ridiculous and dangerous political course under the leadership of the current administration.

     Or, you can just sit there and believe everything your beloved Progressive Lib Machine spits out at you about the TEA PARTY.

     You can just 'sit there' and believe all the 'global village hyperbole', while Chicago suffers Arizona burns and Connecticut goes bankrupt...Why should YOU care?

     But for all others, you know the drill: 

     Tonight 7-9 PM.  

     Whether Democrat or Republican or Independent, your voice needs to be heard and not just 'paid lip service to' by those with nothing more than their own selfish political ambitions.

     If you are tired of the politics of blind hate, check out the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS for yourselves and prepare for a very pleasant and encouraging experience.

     We are EVERYONE who values and cherishes the AMERICAN TRADITION, no matter who you are, where you are from, what political affiliation you have, if any,  what color you happen to be, what religion you either are or are not, what you do for a living and who your family was or is.

     I pray you, do NOT believe all the negative things you hear about the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS!

     Lies abound.  Progressive Lib politicos seek to hobble liberals and those with good intentions with fabricated stories about those 'not like themselves', which are unwholesome and patently UNTRUE!

     Please don't FALL FOR IT!

     We are all-together 'AMERICANS' in the best sense of the word and I ask you to join us, especially here in Connecticut where so many have 'lost their way' and become 'lovers of themselves' instead of 'loving others as they, themselves' would like to be loved.

     We know that all major religions of the world (and all dynamic 'life-paradigms') subscribe to some version or other of 'the Golden Rule'.

     This is part of what has made America great in the past and will, by the grace of God, make America great, again, in the future.

     Help with that at this time in history, won't you?

     Be bold, be brave and be relentless and you will be blessed no matter what your religious persuasion may happen to be, this much I can promise.

With Love in Christ

"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.

     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
Reverend Barbara Sexton
God Bless You All

"TOM FOLEY: Outdated Policies Invite A Connecticut Crash" Posted By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 

CT Gubernatorial Candidate TOM FOLEY 2010

From Rev. Barb's email: 
Dear Friend- 
Please read my Op-Ed piece below that ran in Sunday’s New London Day. I wrote it to clarify the policy disaster that happened during the recently ended legislative session in Hartford. The unfortunate result will be an acceleration of jobs and taxpayers leaving Connecticut. Please forward it to any friends whom are interested in knowing what is really going-on in Hartford.

June 12, 2011 Tom Foley: Outdated policies invite a Connecticut crash The New London Day By TOM FOLEY When a test pilot takes an airplane on a risky test flight, it isn't legal to bring along passengers. Not so in Connecticut politics. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and our Democrat-controlled legislature recently passed a budget that is a reckless experiment equivalent to a test flight in a poorly designed airplane - with all of Connecticut's citizens aboard for the ride. While the federal government and every other state recognizes the broadly held policy consensus that voters want to hold the line on taxes and reduce spending, Connecticut's political leadership is stuck in a retro-policy world reminiscent of the 1960s. During the legislative session 1960s-era dogma and political pay-offs triumphed over common sense and good policy. It isn't amusing watching Connecticut adopt policy more evocative of Havana or Caracas than Shanghai or Mumbai. We are moving backward rather than forward and Connecticut's citizens will pay a big price. The world has come a long way since the 1960s. People actually believed then that more government would solve problems and steeply progressive income taxes would make a more equitable society. Most policymakers and voters now realize that there are limits to what government can do well and that, past a point, more government merely smothers private sector economic activity, slows income growth, and reduces private sector employment. Connecticut arrived at that point some time ago. We also now know that taxing people excessively doesn't make society more equitable, it just drives away ever-more mobile taxpayers and jobs, reducing everyone's income and opportunities. Because politicians and voters in the 1960s believed we could tax and spend our way out of our problems, politicians saw no need to hide what they were up to. That is not the case today. Gov. Malloy and Democrats in the legislature deceptively describe their budget as "sharing sacrifice," "reducing spending," and wringing "give-backs" out of state workers. Baloney. The facts are clear and simple. Spending in the general fund is budgeted to go up next fiscal year by over $450 million, an increase of 2.5 percent over this year. The governor's "deal" with state workers' unions includes no reduction in either the number of state workers or the overall cost of the state workforce. Gov. Malloy and the Democratic majority are closing this entire budget deficit with increased taxes amounting to more than $2.5 billion. These big tax increases will raise Connecticut's already high cost of living. Most of the increase in taxes will fall on middle-income households. Connecticut households in 2013 will pay on average more than $2,000 more in state taxes than they did last year. With average household income at $68,000, Connecticut's middle-income families will have to again cut back spending to meet their heavy new tax burden, further hurting an already weak economy. What will be the effect of this disastrous policy, other than the hardship and additional belt tightening imposed on Connecticut's citizens? The most damaging outcome will be an accelerating flight of our tax base and jobs. Connecticut is already unaffordable for many families and businesses. Rather than reducing the cost of living, the recently passed budget will both raise the cost of living and the cost of employing people. People and businesses that can leave the state will. Others who might have come here won't. Connecticut has the worst job creation record in the nation. You would think that after their dismal performance creating jobs, our politicians would be reluctant to keep pursuing the same shopworn and ineffective policies. Instead, they are stepping even harder on the accelerator, like the impulsive gambler who after losing a lot of money just keeps doubling down on the same bet. Connecticut is conspicuously alone in its "damn the torpedoes" strategy of raising taxes and doing nothing serious to rein-in spending. In New York, where Democrats also hold the governorship and control the legislature, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pledged to reduce spending next year by 5 percent, reduce the size of the state work force by more than 10,000 people, and not raise taxes. Like a family that lived too well in the good times, Connecticut has to adjust to current economic reality. That is why when running for governor I pledged not to raise taxes and focus instead on wisely and equitably reducing spending. This policy direction doesn't originate in ideology or politics. It is simply the right thing to do and plain enough for political leaders on both sides of the aisle to recognize most everywhere, except in Connecticut. The current administration's failure to recognize the need for a change in direction will only dig the state into a deeper hole. The only good news in this confounding story is that voters seem to know they are being had. The deceptive messaging isn't working. Everything in Hartford seems too clever by half. Some think the budget doesn't reflect a policy at all, but rather an odd and un-Connecticut introduction of 1930s' style "take care of your friends" urban ward politics. Whatever it is, Connecticut isn't happy. A new poll found 71 percent of voters viewed Gov. Cuomo's policies favorably, while the most recent Quinnipiac University poll showed Gov. Malloy's rating in the mid-30s. It isn't fair that this administration is taking Connecticut's citizens for a risky ride with discredited policies perpetrated by out-of-touch politicians. If you are planning to stick around for the test flight, I suggest you fasten your seatbelt. It is going to be a bumpy ride until our leaders get in tune with the 21st century - or voters replace them with leaders who are. Tom Foley was the Republican candidate for governor of Connecticut in 2010. Read the article here: http://www.theday.com/article/20110612/OP05/306129949/1044

     Thanks for the valuable, if depressing, update and analysis, Tom.  
     We truly need to keep Connecticut and it's residents in prayer, that things improve for all those who are currently suffering financial and other hardships due to the current state of affairs in our Nutmeg State.
     The Lord will not be mocked...by anyone...when disservice is rendered to the people via cronyism, favoritism and the pure prejudice of Progressive politics.
May God Bless & Give Us All Discernment & Wisdom in these matters,
Reverend Barbara Sexton
