“pascal” is wise to use a pseydonym online. That way he can be totally whacked out and rave about American Senators being “traitors”. If he dared to use such language personally and openly in civilized company, he'd be shunned and abhorred by decent citizenry… here he can hide and cower while venting his hatreds and fears. Poor miserable soul!

Pascal, Pascal..come on didn't you mean to say not one word but “two” words: Ronald Reagan – like who provided arms to the Sandaista rebels or Dick Cheney slyly positioning the US to win gigantic middle east oil rebuilding contracts all while acting the part of a warrior on the other front as a cover, you are on Afgan opium to call out Teddy for dealing with the enemy when George Bush and his low life corrupt investment bankers and his slimy partners in kind such as TX based cash cow no bid contracts Halliburton & Co and the rest of the slim of the oil induustry damn near ruined the world's economy! Thank God for Obama, at least he's an honest and forthright individual who's trying to right this country back from the Republican's friggin train wreck. Clinton had to overcome te same mess…Damn Republican sell out the Democrats every time on the way out of White House. Keep stimulating the economy, it's the only way forward, Dems can't stop to point fingers, thy don't have time, we we're in so damn deep when Obama took office it was frightening, history will set this crap right, it will take time to sort it out. George W. Bush was the most unenlightened Prez ever to hold office, over and out!

It is a bit belated for this thread but I don't recall the MSM covering this noted aspect of former senator Kennedy. http://catholiccitizens.org/press/pressview.asp... Of course, one can always complain about the source bearing the news as is often done on this site by posters. If one says that liberals stink their first impulse is to deny the observation rather than checking with their own noses. Meylssa has enough steel and intellectual advantage to pass over the ad hominem stuff posted by people who can't challenge her facts/observations. Folks who bother with the short post cited here ought be interested in knowing that both sentators from Mass. worked with communists and against American interests. There is a word for people who do that.

John, a post office is actually part of the duties of government specifically named in the Constitution. Without USPS, the private market would eliminate many routes which just can't make a profit at all.

I'll fully agree that any fat in the USPS' budget that is there should be trimmed. My gut instinct is that the salaries for mail carriers, and benefits, are a bit high for the job they do (but if those benefits and salaries are tied to a lower rate of people quitting, I could be persuaded to support them). But I think ensuring that citizens are able to get their mail in a timely manner, if they live in an urban city or are farmers out in the country or doing manual labor out in Alaska, is essential to a nation such as ours.

The USPS delivers that mail to Wyoming without billing trillions to the American Taxpayer. That would be a good lesson for Congress – priviate enterprise working without taxpayer subsidies. Of course, for maybe $300 Billion in Congressional payola I guess we could get postage down to 20-25 cents so everybody could afford it.
