It means to suddenly go nuts and start shooting your co-workers or random strangers.
So called because during the seventies sometime, there was a rash of these events at US Postal facilities.

4. As wacked and violent as Americans are, we NEVER seem to go after our masters. |
|
The question of why that is true would make an interesting study. But I fear that the moguls and their henchmen are safe.

9. I am waiting for the Reps. in the House to go postal. |
|
voices are getting raised. The Reps. have actually had to work hard for a few days. Frustration is setting in. Republicans are sounding like the old Democrats and vice-versa. Robbery is being committed in broad daylight.
Hmmm...maybe it is time for the voters to go postal.

10. with all the right wing vomit about |
|
it's the minorities fault, I would expect someone to take out their anger on that end, which is why I have posted a couple of times asking for at least one of our Dem leaders to strongly condemn this type of language. This type of language is evil and hate filled, and truly reminds me of 1930's era Germany.
