THERE'S A COMIC side to the anti-Wal-Mart campaign brewing across the country. Only by summoning up the most naive view of corporate behavior can the critics be shocked — shocked! — by the giant retailer's machinations.
Wal-Mart is plotting to contain health costs! But isn't that what every company does in the face of medical inflation? Wal-Mart has a war room to defend its image! Well, yeah, it's up against a hostile campaign featuring billboards, newspaper ads and a critical documentary movie. Wal-Mart aims to enrich shareholders and put rivals out of business! Hello?

Walmart is a socialist's dream with one little problem - it was built by private citizens, not by the government.
How very much liberals would love to claim credit for an efficient means of distributing necessities (and small luxuries) at fair prices.

When Sam died, the soul of walmart died, and "Made in America" was sold for plastic dogsh*t made in a communist nation.
There. that'll rile up the free-traders.
