“Nazi bootlickers” are running rampant in Milford, Conn. — and apparently I’m one of them.
That is, according to a local Democratic committee member who hurled invective at me and other Republican aldermen at a public meeting this month.
The accusation reflected a growing national sickness: The harsh political rhetoric that led to Charlie Kirk’s assassination is eating away at the roots of American politics — our local town councils.

The ugliness exploded after our town’s elected GOP aldermen declined to approve Democratic nominee Toni Lombardi to temporarily fill a vacant seat on the board.
At that, Nadine Padowicz — a member of the Milford Democrat Town Committee — slammed us as “homegrown Nazis,” simply for our affiliation with President Donald Trump.
In her remarks, Padowicz called Trump a “thug who is destroying our democracy” and said we Republicans “lick his boots.”
“You know what happens to Nazi bootlickers? They get kicked in the teeth,” she said threateningly.
Her words violated our town’s rules of public comment, which prohibit personal attacks and derogatory language.
Worse, they crippled the civic spirit that has historically bound neighbors together — even when we disagree.
The crowd’s reaction was just as disturbing: Attendees shouted and cheered their support of Padowicz’s insults.
The atmosphere grew so tense that police were called to intervene if necessary.
A keffiyeh-wearing local lingered in the hallways after the meeting, shouting “Shame!”
It was all in stark contrast to Milford’s slogan, “A Small City with a Big Heart.”
This episode in my hometown is a microcosm of a larger collapse in civility.

Milford was the home of Tom Scott, State Senator who cames within a couple of percent of beating Rosa DeLauro for the Joe Lieberman deat in the 3rd District. He had been a protege of BlackElk (RIP) in his youth.
Eventually he ran as an Independent for Governor after Weicker ruined the state with an Income Tax. He is a good man.
His Milford is gone, I guess.
Then they say “our democracy” they mean “their democracy.” In their democracy they are what is and all else isn’t and shouldn’t be allowed to be. In their democracy, they are in charge and you shut the hell up and obey. They used to cancel you if you didn’t. Now, they ramp up the rhetoric until you get the Charlie Kirk treatment.
Welp, here is my retort to those on the left. I might be a threat to your version of democracy. You are definitely a threat to all of humanity.
That’s the town I lived in for 40 years. Back in the golden age of Reagan, Republicans held every elected position in town. From mayor to dog catcher. Liberals cowered like beaten dogs. Then Lowell Weicker, that disgusting piece of trash, passed the state income tax when one Republican didn’t show up to vote. With that Democrats were off to the races growing government, buying votes and stealing elections. I left in 2013 for paradise in SC after it became illegal to defend yourself in Ct. One of the happiest days of my life was when I put Milford in my rear view.
Connecticut, a deep swamp state.

Because good people don’t want to get involved, they have a successful life in the private sector, why get into the mud?
Her husband, Tom Koba (she didn't take his surname, of course) is a candidate for Milford's Board of Education.

See my post #9. She’s as AWFUL as they come.
That's a man, baby!
Thanks!
“You know what happens to Nazi bootlickers? They get kicked in the teeth,” she said threateningly.”
It would have been totally wrong of course, but it would have been really funny if he would have walked over and knocked her out when she said that...and then sat right back down.
Her own words. I'm sure that everyone who has to deal with this individual knows it already, though.

‘Koba’ was Stalin’s nickname in his early days.

And the lefties keep saying no kings?! The only tyrants I see are the lefties!
‘Welp, here is my retort to those on the left. I might be a threat to your version of democracy. You are definitely a threat to all of humanity.’
Well said.
Yep!
I grew up in Milford during 1960s. Wonderful memories. We hated the New Yorkers that came for the summer. I guess too many become residents.
“‘Koba’ was Stalin’s nickname in his early days.”
Wow.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he took his hero’s name.
