Moment of silence for Paul Tibbets, a True American™

[Larry Lee]

Brothers and Cistern, I know you'll want to join me at 8:15 am tomorrow morning for 57 seconds of silence in honor of Paul Tibbets, a True American™ who passed away today. Our moment of silence will conclude when Sister Thumper releases a bevy of white doves from the Church portico. It'll be a moving sight, and I know many of you will be there to personally express the love we all feel for this man.

Paul Tibbets, of course, was the noble young American who piloted the Enola Gay on August 6, 1945. If it hadn't been for Tibbets' expert skill and patriotism, we'd probably all be gashoing to a Japanese overlord and suffering from the terminal kensho that so often afflicts Westerners who, by conscription (or otherwise), attempt to adopt Japanese ways. But, mercifully, Paul Tibbets piloted the plane and -- I believe -- personally hurled "Little Boy" upon that city of Yellow-Monkey sub-humans, Hiroshima. A tear is welling in my eye, just realizing that the world has lost Paul Tibbets, the perfect model of American spirit, character and purpose.

We are far too soft these days.
Here is the official death warrant that was issued to get rid of those yellow devils. The only thing that held off the bombing until 6th august was the weather.

RIP Paul Tibbets

Re: Moment of silence for Paul Tibbets, a True American™

Praise Jesus, I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Brother Tibbets. He was a true American hero, and I know personally that Jesus was guiding his hand on that glorious day that we nuked the chinks into the stoneage.

On a personal note, I can now reveal an anecdote that until now I was forbidden to discuss. When I was just a boy of 13 years old, my Godly father, Pastor Obadiah Burnt, pulled some strings and hired Captain Tibbets to attend my birthday party, as a special surprise guest. It was all on the hush-hush, something about Captain Tibbets being on a super-secret mission to investigate UFOs and their connection to Freemasons and Atlantis...I didn't really understand it, but I was thrilled to have a real hero at my father's rolling estate. All of us were sworn to keep his visit secret.

When he staggered into the room (an old war wound I was told) you could actually smell the odor of heroism (it was a medicinal smell, a bit like the cheap wine some of the servants used to use as mouthwash), and all of the kids were in awe. I'll never forget the look in his eyes....far away with Jesus my father said, wide eyed and empty of emotion, as though he could see something waiting for him.

He wasn't much help at playing "pin the tail on the servant girl", and he missed every time he swung the metal bat at the messican game "hit the messican until candy comes out". He actually slept through the live re-enactment of 2 Kings 2:23-24 that my loving father staged as Biblical entertainment. But anyway, wow what a treat to see a True American™ Hero in action.

God broke the mold when He made Paul Tibbets. He will be missed.
