August 16, 2020: War on the Post, Founding Institution, Flush the Turd


tRUMP's war on the post office is truly Un-American. The post office was created by Ben Franklin and others in the mid 18th century as the first 'national' institution, helping to  bind the colonies together into one national consciousness.  The creation of the Post Office was instrumental in transcending consciousness from colonial to national, in creating a 'national' identity.  Americans no longer saw themselves as Marylanders, or New Yorkers or Georgians, but with the help o the first 'national' institution, we increasingly began to see yourselves as 'American."  The post office is a founding institution, as important as the Constitution itself and predates the Boston Tea Party, the shots fired during the Boston Massacre as well as Lexington and Concord. It predates Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown. It predates the creation of the Continental Congress and the Articles of confederation, and predates the creation of this republic by several decades. The post office was instrumental in creating this Republic and to wage war upon it is to wage war upon one of our founding institutions. Caesar Disgustus must meet defeat. Flush the turd on November third.
