Did you know that every time a rightwing wacko gets a letter from Jesus General, an angel laughs and breaks out a bottle of French bubbly?
The angels from Tennessee are partying tonight!
Not one, but two rightwing wackos from the red state of Tennessee have received their letters (or badges of honor) this week.
First there was Councilman Eric Crafton's successful effort to have the city of Nashville resolve that "Whereas Jesus Christ is an actual man," logic dictates that "Holiday" is a naughty term to be forever shunned by true Christians and heathens alike, "the welfare of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County requiring it."
The General wrote:
Dear Mr. Crafton,
Although I'm sure you meant well, I'm very disappointed with your resolution declaring Jesus to be "an actual man." You could have done so much more. You could have declared him to be a Republican. . . .
Be sure to note ultra rightwing Councilman Crafton's rather snarky response.

Next there was State Senator Jeff Miller's efforts to stop the press from speaking about his adulterous affairs. The Salacious Senator has built his career around a Holy Homophobic Crusade to keep matrimony pure, sacred and forever hetereosexual. So naturally, the Senator who grew a beard to prove his hetereosexuality, would send threatening letters to and about his constituents.
The General wrote:
Dear Sen. Miller,
You're a fighter. You didn't hide out in your office when your brother came out as a homosexual. Instead, you fought back by growing a beard, having an extra-marital affair, and sponsoring legislation to institutionalize discrimination against homosexuals. . . .
The latest of my own modest efforts toward getting the Sinful Senator the kind of attention he so deserves:

If you follow the links, you will see that this is not the first letter the General has penned to the Sanctimonious Senator from Cleveland Tennessee. The homophobic adulterer will soon return to Nashville to resume his part time career as Legislating Homophobe and, no doubt, celebrate his successful efforts to get same-sex marriage on the ballot in 2006. Stay tuned.
