It never ceases to amaze me when FReepers oppose federalism, small government, subsidiarity, devolution of power, and local control - and then call themselves “conservatives”. (We used to say when I was a kid, “I’ll take this all the way to the Supreme Court if I have to!”)

You wanna try to keep Wal-Mart out? Go for it. Persuade your neighbors. It’s your community, after all, so it’s your decision.

As you’ve seen, opposing a business (no matter what the circumstances) really gets these faux conservatives worked up.

The only crime worse that that is supporting a home-owners’ association! :-)

The business of America is business.

Period.

Local control ended April 9, 1865.

I’m a capitalist first and foremost. Quaint ideas such as yours will never be allowed to stop progress or making money.
