“Have you worked for the Postal Service? Do you have first hand experience of the life of a postal employee? Is all your postal knowledge gained from watching Seinfeld? “

A friend of ours has worked for the Post Office. He thought of it as an over paid joke and laughed all the way to the bank collected OUR money via taxes for his salary, benefits and retirement.. It annoyed us to no end.

If YOU wish to be in denial of how UNDER WORKED and OVER PAID a Post Office worker is, that is your problem. Compared to what someone in the PRIVATE sector has to do, to get LESS in the end for being a CAPITALIST - really irks me. I know I'm supposed to EXPEREINCE the job before I can KNOW what it is like - that is the typical LIBERAL defense posture. LOL! No, I don't need to BE a postal worker, or even President of the U.S. (Obama) to KNOW NEITHER is worth their salt. Informed people don't need that childish exercise. Here's another one - I don't need to have an abortion to KNOW it's wrong and hardly "compassionate". Play that idiotic defense to a fellow moron.

You highlight the dumbed down and entitlement outlook that I detest. Save your indignant vicitm mentality for someone equally dumbed down. We are tired of it in this household.

“Is all your postal knowledge gained from watching Seinfeld?”

I have NEVER watched Seinfield. Perhaps his view of a postal worker being a joke is what offends your Obama mentality? I don't plan on watching Seinfield now or in the future. Liberals don't amuse me.

I'm sorry your friend was such a lazy character. I knew some like that in my postal work. I also knew some whom I would stack up against anybody as far as work ethic is concerned.

The post office is supported through operating revenues, not taxes.

If YOU wish to be in denial of how UNDER WORKED and OVER PAID a Post Office worker is, that is your problem.

Over paid? Maybe.

Under worked. HA! During my postal tenure, if an employee was willing to work there was generally no shortage of work to be done. We were allowed two fifteen minute breaks a night. At times I would go weeks at a time without taking one of those breaks. I'd come home so stiff and sore I could hardly move. I know a lot of postal workers take advantage of the system. I didn't, and I know a lot of others who didn't

Compared to what someone in the PRIVATE sector has to do, to get LESS in the end for being a CAPITALIST - really irks me.

I'm sorry there are good people in the private sector who work under worse conditions than those I endured at the USPS. That's one reason I worked as hard as I did. I knew I was blessed in certain ways and I wanted to do my best to try to earn my pay. My flesh was weak at times, but my spirit was always willing.

The results of Obama's leadership are clear for all to see. Abortion is a case of morality and God's law. You can make inferences from your friend's comments and from what you personally see about the Post Office. I'm not disputing your personal experiences and observations, but as a person who actually lived the life of a postal employee I can say from experience that the reality of the USPS is more complex, and that your friend is not representative of each and every postal employee.

Play that idiotic defense to a fellow moron.

My friends and family know the truth about me, but rarely will they come out and say it like you have.

I may be an indignant victim, but if, hypothetically, you were to read the comments of a liberal attacking all conservative Christians wouldn't you feel like responding? Nobody likes to see his life and livelihood be the the target of unfair criticism.

Ah, a man of rare good taste. I think I've watched five minutes of that show my whole life. From what I've heard, the show may be more libertarian than liberal.

Like I said, I'm sorry your friend is such a lousy advertisement for the USPS. I can understand people taking a dim view of the Postal Service as a whole, or of certain individual workers. What I don't agree with is the idea that each and every person involved with the USPS is the scum of the earth. That idea is what turns me into an indignant victim.
