Title: Boycott this USPS stamp!
Post by: Midnight on March 26, 2003, 11:58:53 AM

Here, I appologize. The original pre-text of this post can be seen at this link. The stuff after the pic is my mindless drivel.

Our government says there has to be a seperation of church and state. Judging by the other holiday stamps available from the USPS, the only church that is seperated is the Christian church.

I'm not religious, so I don't really care, but why is a government agency endorsing other religious holidays, especially one that can and will envoke angered responses from many US citizens? :mad:

The people that did all those horrible acts you mentioned were extremists.

True they were all Muslims, but they do not practice true Islam which does not preach violence.

Every religion has extremists. McVeigh is an excellent example.

You're right, I missed the Christmas stamp. But what to Kwanzaa and hanukka have to do with Christian?

Get a clue about about what? That statement is pointless without a subjective.

I get so tired of Political Correctness here in the U.S. It's getting to the point where you can't do or say anything because you might make some 'group' upset or to feel offended. I got this via Email and flew off the handle to post this. The only thing I checked first was http://www.shop.usps.com to see if that stamp really was there, and it is.

I wish I hadn't posted this at all now, but there it is, and I try not to remove posts to pretend it never happened.
