RDC you are not boycotting a stamp, you are chosing not to purchase it. That is the diffence between the USPS have different stamps, for different interests and a Judge placing a giant marble monument pushing his beliefs (which I happen to agree with) onto everyone that passes by.

You're out of line. If it was a stamp honoring Al Qaida with a smiling face of Osama Bin Laden, I'd agree with you. The USPS is giving equal time to a religion that is practiced by a significant percentage of Americans.

Thanks RDC, that answers my question.

I see a Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and the EID stamp as well as a bunch of miscellaneous "Happy Holidays" stamps. The whole church and state thing might be a little murky but it does appear that each religion/holiday is getting equal billing. The religions that are not represented have a legit complaint but I suspect all they need to do is submit a design.

I don't see a problem with the EID stamp.

Old news, that stamp has been out for two years now. It was first introduced in Sep. 2001, just before 9-11. The email about the boycott you've posted first started making its way around the internet last year at this time, and it appears it's making the rounds again.

Rumor has it that the USPS was gonna release a new stamp honoring Mary Carey. They decided not to because most people couldnt figure out which side to lick.

If a stamp said Cinco de Mayo should we boycott on account of..."Remember the Alamo"?

What about...
Remember the Trail of Tears!
Should we boycott any stamp that displays the American Flag.

Wait, I know, I'm going to boycott the US Nickle because Jefferson had slaves.

Isn't generalizing fun!

I do plan on boycotting the USPS though. They keeping sending me bills even after I politely asked them to stop.

...just when I thought the Cbid politics couldn't get any more scary...this post. Glad to see that most understand that this guy is a moron. Thanks for coming out as a backwards idiot in front of all of us, RDC. That took courage. LOL!

Backwards idiot? Wow! Big words, I am impressed.

What I find more interesting is that more people jump on the band wagon to support this issue than support the 10 Commandment display or the word God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why is that?

I guess I am less than impressed with the intelect. Insted of a discussion of facts some deem it necessary to turn this into a name calling event. Some of you need to grow up and realize the world does not revolve around you or your opinions. I merely put things out there to discuss and on an occasion a juvinile chimes in with name calling becasue they do not have the mental capacity to discuss this like adults. Is this where I am now suppose to respond with You Poo-Poo Head? No wonder so many have left this board.

RDC, you lowered the bar with this post. The whole idea behind your post is name-calling. So you're getting what you deserve, frankly, which is everyone calling you to the mat for your xenophobic remarks.

I do, however, admire your stand against name-calling. I expect to see you at my defense when I post again, which always leads to me being called various names.

I'm assuming that on the stamp the design is some sort of arabic writing. Anyone know what it says?
