Warning to all those who “loath the military” – CA is the “sleeping giant” and there are those who have been silent but will be silent no more.

Great News.It’s good to hear that someone in government has seen fit to do what is RIGHT instead of what is Politically Correct.aj,good call on the deputy postmaster general–what a rarity- a beaurocrat with a spine.We sure could use a Kevin McCarthy here in Murthaland.The weasel(Murtha)didn’t even have the Malkins to vote for or against censuring Pete Stark Raving Mad.

Yeah, and it's really bad when it takes beating your fists on the table, stomping your feet, and screaming at the top of your lungs just to muster up a little common sense!

I got the same e-mail message from my complaint. And I was not kind in my comments. Not foul but not kind.

My understanding is that it wasn’t the local post office that caved to the liberal (and again to the overwhelming backlash from the rest of us), it was the higher ups.

As they say, the closer to Washington one gets, the further detached one is from the rest of the country (and reality it seems).

Way to go folks, we won one.

You are so very wrong. Paso Robles is a very patriotic town that supports its local military installations and the troops that live there.

You should put the blame on the ONE idiot that complained and the moron(s) at the Post Office and not blame an entire area.

Fox and Friends picked up on this one this morning and reported that the post office did indeed put the photos back up after the community complained that they were taken down. I guess the community is allowed to post community-based stuff in the post office and this qualitified under THAT regulation.

Wonderful! We must remember that, in any large bureaucracy, someone will over-react to complaints. I do, however, agree that liberal, PC complaints seem to get immediate action but, that is because federal employees are subjected to large amounts of PC propaganda. . . errr, training.

I can’t even believe this was an issue to begin with! But I’m thrilled they reversed it and the town so overwhelmingly demanded it.

We understand that the Postal Service occupies a unique position in most communities and so when there’s a great expression of support for taking an action, we think it prudent to relax our guidelines and meet the overwhelming wish of the community.

A sensible guideline, really. Ban it all, and then relax then ban for those items the local community greatly supports.

A USPS policy that doesn’t make my mind hurt. I’m shocked!
