    Surveillance video of a wee-hours ruckus at a Macon Wal-Mart on Sunday shows a teenager race inside flashing gang signs ahead of a mob of four dozen or so people who burst in and smashed merchandise. The commotion, which caused an estimated $2,000 in damage, appears to have been planned. Some in the crowd also snatched a man, apparently a shopper at the Zebulon Road store, from a motorized shopping cart and dragged him to the floor, Bibb County sheriff’s officials said Monday. The vandals, said to number between 40 and 50, sprinted down the store’s main aisle about 1:50...

    A Wal-Mart store in Slidell refused a request to decorate a cake with a design featuring a Confederate flag, but agreed to decorate a cake featuring the flag of the Islamic State terrorist group, or ISIS, a man says in a video posted to YouTube. Wal-Mart has apologized for selling the cake, explaining that the employee who handled the order did not recognize it as the ISIS flag. The corporation, a spokesman said, does not support ISIS. The YouTube video, posted Friday (June 26) by a man identified as Chuck Netzhammer, shows a man sitting on a motorcycle unfurl a...

    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.

    Wal-Mart is apologizing for a store in Slidell, La., which refused to bake a cake designed as the Confederate battle flag but accepted a request to bake a cake that looked like the ISIS battle flag. Chuck Netzhammer, a local resident, presented his story in a YouTube video Friday, saying, “Alright, Wal-Mart, you’ve got some explaining to do. I went to go buy a cake from you all the other day with this image on it and y’all wouldn’t do it. I went back yesterday and managed to get the ISIS battle flag [cake instead].” Netzhammer shows the ISIS battle...

    This video and that ISIS cake is evidence of the pure insanity in this country right now over political correctness. This is proof of how crazy insane this country has become. You can’t fly the Confederate flag, have it displayed anywhere, rumor has it the flag is being digitally removed from the Dukes of Hazzard or have it printed on a cake BUT if you want an ISIS cake made no problem! Walmart you have some explaining to do that you will deny making a Confederate flag cake (not to mention selling anything with the flag on it) but have...

    On 06/25/15 I attempted to get an Edible image cake printed with the confederate flag image on it at Walmart. It was denied. The next day I had them do the same for the ISIS battle flag image I brought to them. They cheerfully did it. and sold me my ISIS cake. WTF Walmart! ISIS is beheading Christians, selling little girls into slavery, and is currently a terrorist org at war with the United States........but you can't buy the General Lee toy car at Wallmart? It's a damn shame.

    Mega-retailers have confirmed their loyal membership in the liberal Establishment and their willingness to join in an ideological war of annihilation against the very concept of the South by refusing to sell Confederate flag merchandise. This confirms that like Big Advertising, Big Retail is far more concerned with advancing the liberal agenda than with making money, because thanks to the authorities’ big push to suppress it, the rebel flag is selling better than ever:

The move comes after a 21-year old assailant gunned down nine people at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina. The state has a Confederate flag hanging at its capitol building, something many have said is a reminder of racially-charged bigotry in the U.S. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Monday called for the flag's removal, saying, "it's time to move the flag...
