New Christmas Stamp - Not Really

Here's an email I got a few days ago.  It's about a new Muslim Christmas stamp.  Sounds strange, right? Well here is the email, and then I'll comment.

They don’t believe in Christ but get their own Christmas stamp. What is happening to us?

BUYING STAMPS?

Don't buy this stamp! It is pretty, but keep reading! Will be available November 1, 2013

President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service to remember and honor the EID Muslim holiday season with a new commemorative 46 Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp.

The new stamp is the second MUSLIM stamp, and celebrates a Muslim holiday!

If there is only ONE thing you Forward today, let it be this! REMEMBER to adamantly BOYCOTT this stamp when you purchase stamps anywhere. All you have to say is, "No thank you, I do not want a Muslim stamp on my letters!"

Buy our US flag stamp instead, please!

Pass this along to every Patriotic American you know and get the word out!
Honor the United States of America

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Yes, it's fine to honor the USA.  We have freedom of choice here, so put whatever stamp you like on your cards and letters.  But don't believe what this email says about this particular stamp!

It is a Kaleidoscope Flowers Stamp and you can read all about it on this United States Postal Service web page: http://about.usps.com/news/national-releases/2013/pr13_002.htm. It has nothing to do with any religion.

Snopes says that there is an EID stamp, which celebrates the Muslim holiday of EID and not Christmas, but you have to ask for it since it is generally a specialty item.  Read the snopes article on this email, here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/stamps/eidstamp.asp

Bottom Line - Don't believe everything you get in emails or read on the internet.  Research for yourself and make up your own mind on all issues, large and small.

 

If you think our country is not in trouble, think again...

Here's an email that's going around lately. It seems to be a mix of fact and fiction. Research, then decide for yourself!

Obama didn't declared that the USA was no longer a Christian nation - he said that the USA was no longer JUST a Christian nation.

Obama didn't cancel the National Day of Prayer Ceremony - he recognized the National Day of Prayer with a paper proclamation instead of a public event at the White House.

There was a Muslin rally in D.C. bit it wasn't a replacement for the National Day of Prayer.

In
1952
President Truman
Established one day a year as a "National Day of Prayer."
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In
1988 President Reagan
designated the First Thursday in May of each year as
the National Day of Prayer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In June
2007 (then)
Presidential Candidate Barack Obama
declared that the USA Was no longer a Christian nation.

---------------------------------------------------------------

This year President Obama
canceled the 21st annual National Day
of Prayer ceremony
at the White House under the ruse Of "not wanting to offend anyone"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

On September 25, 2009
from 4 am until 7 pm,
a National Day of Prayer
for the Muslim religion was Held on Capitol Hill, Beside the White House.
There were over 50,000 Muslims that Day in D.C.
HE PRAYS WITH THE MUSLIMS!

I guess it Doesn't matter
if "Christians" Are offended by this event - We obviously Don't count as
"anyone" Anymore. The direction this country is headed should strike fear in the heart of every Christian, especially knowing that the Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be converted, they should be annihilated. This is not a Rumor?
Go to the website To confirm this info:

Pay particular attention to the very bottom of the page: "OUR TIME HAS COME" I hope that this information will stir your spirit.
The words of 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, Who are called by my Name, Will humble themselves And pray, And seek my face, and Turn from their Wicked ways, Then will I hear from Heaven And will forgive their Sin and will heal Their land." We must pray for Our nation, our communities, Our families, and especially our children. They are the ones who are going to suffer the most.. If we don't PRAY May God have Mercy.
IN GOD WE TRUST. Please pass this on.

Maybe someone, somehow can figure out a way to put America
back on the map as it was when we were growing up,
a safe place to live, and by The Ten Commandments and Pledge of Allegiance.
For Obama to continue as our president
is an INSULT TO OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
AND DISGUSTING TO EVERY RED-BLOODED AMERICAN.

A Short History Lesson - plz read

Here's another one of those emails that get passed around that are based on some truth but really exaggerate the facts! Snopes reports:

• All schools in the UK have stopped teaching about the Holocaust in their history classes: False.
• One history department in a northern UK city stopped teaching about the Holocaust because it wished to avoid confronting anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial among some Muslim pupils: True.

After you read the email below, be sure to visit the Snopes Story on this email for the rest of the story! The important thing to remember about this email is that the Holocaust DID happen and we must never forget it.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this because he said in words to this effect: "Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened". "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke In Memorial. This week, the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offended" the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated while the German and Russian peoples looking the other way! Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets. This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world. How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center "never happened" because it offends some Muslim in the U.S.?????? Don't just delete this. It will take a minute to pass this along.
