We've just begun a serious discussion at our house about whether we will withdraw from shopping at Wal-Mart. They are close by; we spend thousands of dollars there a year; but they have succumbed to pressure and are actively promoting the homosexual agenda and homosexual marriage. Just look at what they are doing in Idaho, where Family Leader is working hard to pass a state marriage protection amendment.
Enough is Enough
Wal-Mart Sponsoring Diversity Week
The following is a report from our friends at the American Family Association. We work in coalition with them on several projects through our Washington D.C. affiliation.
Wal-Mart has given its full endorsement to the homosexual agenda and homosexual marriage. Boise State University in Boise, Idaho, will observe LGBT Diversity Week October 9-13. One of the sponsors for the Diversity Week is Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart is joining the Pleasure Boutique (an adult bookstore which bills itself as "Idaho's largest selection of adult movies and DVDs and largest adult toy selection in Idaho") and other groups in sponsoring the week. Diversity Week is a week of celebrating homosexuality and promoting the homosexual agenda and homosexual marriage.
Among the events being sponsored by Wal-Mart is Idaho Votes No Campaign Update and Information Workshop. Voters in Idaho will be voting on a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage in November. This Wal-Mart sponsored event will inform voters how to oppose the amendment and how to get others to do so. Wal-Mart is putting their money behind the effort to legalize homosexual marriage.
Other events being sponsored by Wal-Mart: Gay History of Idaho, Diversity in the Workplace, Women's/Lesbian Issues, Hate Based Crimes, Heterosexism, Homosexuality and Disabilities, LGBT Youth in Trouble, MCC-Faith and LGBT, and a youth dance for those age 24 and under.
Wal-Mart is throwing their clout and cash behind the homosexual marriage effort.
Your Post:
"their prices are not worth the cost of gas to drive there.Target is closer"
My Post:
I think that is my favorite anti-Wal Mart attack of all time.
Your Answer:
You'd spend an extra 10 cents to drive to Wal Mart in order to save 2 cents?
We don't all live at your house, believe it or not some people live closer to Wal Mart, and farther away from Target.
somehow the economics of that escapes me
OTOH if you can go to some other store where all the hotties shop, go for it
Don't forget! You MUST put your URL on all that merchanise. It's critical to your success. And it has to be in large enough type to be easily read by people who are too outraged at everyone to ask a stranger about it.
Ha - 'bout realy to leave the office, Baseball play-offs are next week, Football on Sunday - these are the REAL things in life.
Have a great weekend.
How about these:
QUIETLY SEETHING MURDEROUS RAGE
QUIET LONER (Not Capable of That Kind of Thing)
Take it easy...
Wal-mart should cut it out. A boycott of their Chinese crap by a disordered 2 per cent of the population isn't going to put them out of business.

LOL. Are you talking about the gays or the boycotters? Your comment could equally apply to both.
The American taliban rears its ugly head again.
If that's what you think a Libertarian is, then you're a fool.
The queers never shut the hell up about what they do in their bedrooms. All they talk about is their disgusting behavior.
If the idiots would just live as humans instead of demanding special attention they would be fine. Why don't you spend some time in one of the queer bathhouses and see if you want to continue to defend them.
Interesting question - If I make the folling statement:
There is no such thing as objective truth.
Am I asserting that such a statement...
..is...
true?
Why don't you spend some time in one of the queer bathhouses and see if you want to continue to defend them.
You've been to such places?
There are very few recorded moments when Jesus the Christ was truly "Outraged". It might surprise many to find out who Jesus saved his outrage for.
God?
If most Americans had to chose between the two, they'd chose WAL*MART in a nano-second.

Well stated. And if we take to the notion that folks vote with their wallets, then I'd suggest that Walmart has already been chosen over AFA. How much money did AFA bring in last year compared to Walmart?
The self-righteous (whom He called "whitewashed tombs"). It seemed like they were always "Outraged" at something.
And, of course, the moneychangers, who like in the song "Tiny Dancer" were "handing tickets out for God".
People need to believe in something. Venting outrage based on their beliefs strengthens those beliefs. I don't begrudge people their self-righteousness or outrage.
It's still a free country and according to the U.S. Constitution, people are free to believe anything they want as long as it doesn't annoy Durasell.
NORMAL people don't have the right to same sex marriage either.
Two heterosexual men or two heterosexual women can't enter a same sex "marriage".
Why does their being unattractive keep you from shopping there?
Recruiting? What a load of crap!
Nobody was going to turn any of the guys I knew when I was a teenager gay. If you can be "recruited," you were already playing for the other team.
You try to "recruit" most guys, you'll need a trip to the emergency room.
