This happened recently to a lady in Valentine, Nebraska. The story was forwarded to me:
I walked into our local post office the other day to mail a first class letter to someone here in Valentine and it cost me 88 cents!! Why 88 cents, you ask? I’ll tell you why. I gave the clerk my 44 cents for the stamp. She opened her drawer, scanned a stamp, tore it off, without asking me what stamp I wanted and handed it to me. I looked at it and wondered what the symbol on the stamp was. It had swirls and kind of looked like a Christmas tree. But something told me it wasn’t. So I ask the clerk, “What is this?” “Oh”, she said, it’s a Christmas one”. I must have had a questioning look because she said “It’s Muslim”. I said “I don’t want it”. The clerk replied “Well, I can’t do anything about it, I’ve already scanned it.” I thought about it for a split second and then I wadded it up, threw it across the counter and said “Then I’ll buy another one!!” The clerk THEN asked me what I would like. I asked if she had one with a flag. She said “None that I can separate”. “Well what are my choices?” I asked. She replied “I have Black Heritage, Hanukah, or Bob Hope”. My blood pressure went a little higher. I said “Give me Bob Hope”. It flashed through my mind all the USO shows Bob Hope had performed for our troops.
I was infuriated! We are a Christian Nation and the first stamp our local post office offers me is a Muslim stamp!
My son did not die fighting for our country so we could become a Muslim Nation. I say “Bring our troops home. We need them here!”
