A Plea From Bedford

 

 

An Open Letter From General Bedford Forrest Of The Confederate Forces Of Atonement
To United States Representative Steve Cohen

 

 

Most Profound Greetings To A Most Honorable Man, Who, In The Good Nature Of His Heart Did Not Want To Disturb My Resting Place!

 

 

I must tell you I am appalled by the actions of your political opponent Nikki Tinker, this is disgraceful. And I am so glad that the leaders of her party are responding in the manner that they have in answering this vicious attack on your character, which is totally and completely unjustified. It may shock many but I am in agreement with the colored peoples' wishes on the matter of removing my earthly remains from their current resting place, and those of my wife's. I would like to have them reinterred in a confederate cemetary where I would lie at rest with my comrades and I would like to have my statue moved to that site.

 

 

And I would like a new statue put on the pedestal where my statue now is of a white, a colored, and an Asian child playing together. And I would like to have this park renamed Memphis Unity Park. I send a request to my family that they come forward and support this effort so that the bitterness that I helped create between the people of my race and the race of color may come to an end.

 

 

God full knows the wrongs of the evil that we did, and that in our arrogance we claimed that God approved of our actions, shows how far we wandered from the truth. God forbid that any teach such untruths again! God praise those that speak against them!

 

 

I do not like taking the time away from God's servants to send this message when they are involved in the terrible struggle to bring aid to the people of Georgia who are being attacked by a cruel and oppressive dictator. But Our Lord And Savior, Jesus Christ, felt it was important that I speak out on this issue and condemn that that has been done, and ask for that that I would have done to bring harmony to the people of Tennessee.

 

 

I ask the media of Tennessee to make my wishes known to the public, and to let them know that I now strive to undo all the wrongs that I have done, and fight with The Forces Of God for the salvation of His children, no matter their race or creed. I recently took part in a great spiritual battle, when spiritual warriors of The Islamic Faith stood side by side with us and defeated the creatures of Darkness. We now stand as one, Christian, Jew, and Muslim, and fight for the very survival of our people. Hate, such as was used in the ad against Representative Steve Cohen must not be allowed! Those using such tactics must be driven from office. This is the will of God and every decent man and woman. For now our sisters fight beside us as well.

 

 

I send my wishes to the people of Tennessee and I ask them to carry them out. When my body is reinterred I make a special request, that six United States Marines of color carry it, and that six female Marines of color carry my wife's body, and that an honor guard made up of Army soldiers of color fire a volley in my honor. This would please me greatly, and my wife also.

 

 

God bless the people of Tennessee, each and every one! One final comment. The one I am dictating this letter through, Speaker Gerald Polley, has written a song called "True Dixie". I ask that when I am reinterred a choir made up of whites, coloreds, and Asians sing this song to end the ceremonies because there is a line in it that I now believe fully, that says "Strike the flag of hatred yonder, raise ours high to fly above her." I wish for those words to become reality.

 

 

 

A Servant Of Him That Dwells In The Holiest Of All
Now, And, Forever
And One Who Has Received Salvation
Through Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ,
And The Undeserved Forgiveness Of Those That He Offended

John Had Nothing To Do With It!

 

 

Some things that happen around here are even too weird for us, we can't explain them! A while back, the night we went with our friend Elgard to see "The Dark Knight," Linda put our 2GB back up flash drive in her pocketbook to take with her in case of emergency. When she got home it wasn't in her pocketbook, and she had never opened the zipper pocket it was in while not at home. A thorough search was done and it simply could not be found. Then a couple weeks ago Jesus was here sitting at the old computer, getting it ready for Gerald to make a video when suddenly he heard a clunk and looked down at the drawer the computer keyboard sits in. We had taken everything including the keyboard out of the drawer and it wasn't in there! But there was the missing flash drive beside the keyboard! Jesus woke Linda up for a few minutes to show her He'd found it! In the past the spirit of John Lennon has 'hidden' a sock or two of Linda's from plain view, just to let Linda & Gerald know he's still around, but nothing has ever happened like this, and this time John had nothing to do with it!
