Walmart continues to sell the Iranian and Cuban flags, as well as artwork depicting the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro urging people to “liberate” Cuba, according to the super store’s website.

Amid a growing controversy over the sale and display of the Confederate flag in such stores, Walmart continues to sell the official flags of Iran and Cuba.

Walmart also is selling canvas wall art featuring Fidel Castro.

The portrait of Castro includes the quote, “I am Fidel Castro and we have come to liberate Cuba.”

N.J. flagmaker halts production of the Confederate flag
Annin Flagmakers, the New Jersey-based company that is the oldest and largest American manufacturer of flags, announced Tuesday it would stop making and selling the Confederate flag.

“I just sent out the email to our factories saying, ‘Cease and desist. Let’s not sell this stuff,’” said Carter Beard, president of the company that is headquartered in Roseland.

Business opportunity for a smaller or new company. Despite being a southerner, I’ve never owned a Confederate battle flag. I’ll be buying several as a show of support for whoever sells it.

The country is currently in one of its periodic fits of insanity. Anything South is bad and has to be banned. They will find something else soon.

This is the country that elected 0 twice. Doesn’t say much for its collective IQ.

Walmart is also selling Che Guevara posters. The kind that you find in Obama’s campaign offices.

The way to hurt walmart is thru perishable goods. Touch them, bruise them, slander them while walking near another customer, but under no circumstances should you buy them, let them rot on the shelves.

We’re all Conservatives here. I have to draw the line at vandalism and sabotage. Take your money and spend it someplace else. THAT’S the way to get Walmart’s attention.

This whole notion of getting rid of this flag is totally misplaced. If we are going to do something with substance, we should ban the political Party that upheld slavery without apology.

It is the Democrat Party that has this heritage of hate. No Republican EVER held slaves - ONLY DEMOCRATS. The Democrat Party has NEVER apologized for slavery! If we are going to ban anything meaningful because of slavery - BAN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY !!!
