Default USPS is Terrorist Sympathizer.

I just got this email. I'm really speechless.

When I say that I don't like the bend I see the country taking, this is the type of thing that I'm thinking of. These types of email weren't circulated among professional contacts 5 years ago (I'm sure they were circulated among KKK members.)

How ironic is this??!! They don't even believe in Christ and they're getting their own Christmas stamp, but don't dream of posting the ten commandments on federal property?

USPS New Stamp [image of stamp that didn't translate into here - T.]

This one is impossible to believe. Scroll down for the text.
If there is only one thing you forward today.....let it be this!!!



REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm
Flight 103!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World
Trade Center in 1993!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine
barracks in Lebanon!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military
barracks in Saudi Arabia!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American
Embassies in Africa!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001!

REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks!



Now the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a commemorative first class
holiday postage stamp.

REMEMBER to adamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp
when purchasing your stamps at the post office.
To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those
AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.

REMEMBER to pass this along to every patriotic AMERICAN you know.
There are Muslims in the US who use stamps, right?

I find this terribly depressing.

Titania,

I think both you and whoever wrote this are overreacting.

Re the stamp--This has been produced in past years as well. I believe that there has also been a stamp recognizing Ramadan. No big deal. Nothing for this guy to get his pant in a wad about.

There are stamps for Christmas--every year there is a new "Madonna and Child" stamp, although they don't use that term, they do say "Christmas" on them. There are also 2-3 new secular Christmastime stamps each year. This year there's a series of Santa ornaments.

Hannukah gets a stamp each year--this year there's a dreidl stamp.

Kwanzaa has a stamp.

There are plenty of stamps to buy. If this guy wants, he can use only the flag being raise at Ground Zero.

He shouldn't consider this the end of the country, and neither should you.

I'm concerned that in the minds of more and more people, the War on Terror is becoming a War on Islam.

I've never recieved an email asking me to boycott a Kwanzaa or Hannakah stamp.

As evidenced by your e-mail from a lunatic.

Is not the war on terror being fought against radical islamists? As far as I know we have not been attacked by radical Kwanzites or Israelis.

Or Christians, of course...oh yeah, except for McVey.

Guess I should boycott everything Christian, right?

Um...are you saying that you think we should go to war against Islam?
