Just a little friendly advice. Don't believe everything you read in the newspaper or hear/see on the news.
CBS, NBC, USA Today, The New York Times, LA Times, Boston Globe, BBC, and The Mirror have all been caught fabricating news items.
Myth? Hardly. I specifically asked for stamps with a religious image. They had to go into the back of my local post office to get some.
I will find out today. I am headed to my local PO to get my usual 50 or $60.00 worth of stamps. I still have a bunch of Flags so I'll be looking for the Christian religious ones.
It's more like a boatload of poetic license.
***I would be very surprised if this really happened. I'm betting a certain poetic license has been invoked. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.***
A LOT of poetic license was involved. The Post Office put an ad for postage stamps in my mail box, and it had the Madonna and Child stamp at the top of the pix.
I'm glad the writer is promoting keeping Christ in Christmas, but I don't believe his silly claim helps the cause.
I'm a bit suspicious of the story myself. I just went to the post office two days ago, and the Madonna and Child stamp was prominantly displayed along with the others.
Possibly. But I've had personal experiences at the Post Office close enough to it that I don't discount it. Our "civil servants" are union members and usually good Democrats. Hatred of Christianity seems to be the primary rallying force of Democrats these days.
