My family does not shop at Wal Mart. I used to get all sorts of crap from FReepers who were in love with “Cheap Crap from China, ALWAYS!” and I wonder if they’ll change their tune now that they’re not just supporting the People’s Liberation Army but the Gay Agenda, too.
Or are the deals just so good that they have to sell their birthright to save thirty pieces of silver?
I have tried and tried to wean my tribe off their obsessive loyalty with WallyWorld.
I have given up.
Well said. I get a a real kick out of people who feel that insulting Walmart is like insulting the US flag or the US Constitution. Sure Walmart is a business and we conservatives are supposed to be pro-business, but Walmart should not be thought of as an unimpeachable American institution that exists to solely to promote traditional American values.
It is a a global corporation and it’s number #1 concern is profits, not patriotism, not conservatism, nor even to “help” the American worker. Walmart exists to benefit Walmart. If a person can find cheap deals there, fine, shop there. Heck, I’ve been know to by household cleaners, toilet paper and the like there. I am not perfect.
But if you critique Walmart in the slightest you get called a communist around here. (Oh, the irony in that statement is rich).
Hell, it is becoming almost impossible to find a retailer that does not pay protection money to the homos or buy most of their merchandise from China. I don't shop at Walmart because I just don't like the place or the people it attracts. If I do go to one, I am always armed. There was a shooting a couple of weeks ago at the one nearest my house. Two guys who apparently had no physical appearances or racial characteristics got into an argument which spilled out to the parking lot. The argument became a gunfight, and bullets were flying everywhere, including into the store (or "da stow", as it is usually referred to by the shoppers).
I don't need a new reason to avoid a store that sucks.
