Apparently, that "process" that helps them make the "right decisions" broke down a bit at a Walmart store in Slidell, LA. The store refused to decorate a cake with the Confederate battle flag but decided it was OK to decorate a cake with the black flag of ISIS.

Hmmmm. So, would they make a VahJJ shaped cake? Or a male organ shaped cake? Would they get sued if they refused?

Shut up, WalMart. My shadow shall never darken the dingy floors of one your stores again.

Until it's been converted into a FEMA re-education camp.

Much more individual and collective activism of this sort is sorely needed. Trap interviews, gay pride confrontations, letters to the editor, boycott of institutions, canceling news/magazine subscriptions, re-arranging personal finances to reduce tax liabilities, marching in front of media buildings etc. could be organized if the will and capacity was there.

Perhaps one of the more bizarre demonstrations of support for ISIS from Saudi Arabia, a cake baked with the ISIS flag for the icing. The dedicatory placard reads: "All thanks to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the heroes of the Islamic State. Your brothers…the free men of Bilad al-Haramain."

That’s a perfect specimen for the website Cake Wreaks.

Walmart made a public announcement about the Confederate battle Flag being objectionable and offensive but I don’t recall a statement about the isis or isil flags or emblems being offensive, have they had anything toi say about an @$$#o!& cake being offensive?

Let’s see. A “process” that helps them make the “right decisions”? Why that would otherwise be called common sense.

What a curious and outdated notion!

Just came back from Walmart. I bought 6 boxes of 22 WMR HP at $12.47 for 50 round boxes.

While there I squeezed the crap out of 4 peaches just to make me feel good!

I use Walmart for ammo and a few guns and that is pretty much it!

But I get it, it made you feel good.

Well after this week I needed something positive.

Also good luck finding 22 mags under .30 a round.

I’ve been looking for a reason to boot Wal-Mart and this seems like as good as any. I don’t intend to let some retailer dictate what I need or don’t need. Let me be clear at the present time I don’t even own a Confederate flag nor have I been in the market for one. That all has changed and I will be going to Ben Jones site and ordering said merchandise. Wal-Mart has been skating on the periphery for a long time with just barely coming under the competition and actually being higher on some merchandise. In the future I will go to the competition first and accept a slightly higher price in order to preserve my choice in merchandise and no be dictated to by some suit trying to suck up to the politically correct class!!
