Is Wal-Mart Too Liberal?

I save on average $40 per week on groceries and household items by shopping at Wal-Mart. You tell me how to stretch my dollars shopping at your Main Street shops and I will gladly take up a sign in your boycott. For now, on my low fixed income, I choose to eat all 30 days per month as opposed to only 23 days per month. Try thinking on a larger spectrum, as opposed to your "small" town mindset.

Think we should start a Don't shop @ Walmart boycott. I hate what Walmart does to Main St. in small towns.
Let's start a boycott, Don't shop Walmart, GM Avon, IBM, the women of the US need to learn the power they have with their shopping dollar, quit making Walmart rich and China.
They like a few othersin my case Starbucks, they are like pac-mans, and gobble everyone up. I've been told I have the best coffee, some of my world travelers say the best they've had anywhere in the world. Yet I'm having trouble finding enough $ to start a 2nd place. If I had the $ I'd put shops up right next to Star$, and show them what good coffee is.

If people want to find blame for the high fuel prices, blame the US companies that are outsourcing to China, why do you think the demand for fuel is high, because people in China can now afford cars, thanks to
Wal-mart. This won't stop unless people stop shopping at Walmart for all their crap.

Hillary Supporters beware and rememeber the wolf's clothing Republican!!!!

John MCCain and his dog pack Republican impreached BILL CLINTON out of Oval office,for Monica lewisky scandal,Even Republican party Knows John MCCain scandal during his Military serivce in Vietnam to and fro from his base doing his sinful Bigamy affairs being allowed with Military Blessing ???cheat his first Wife...Just because at that time his Father incharge and Admiral right????/Now You Republican nominate him as Candidate??? what a Hypocrites Bunch!!!!!!

If US has a PRESIDENT of this magnitude appeals WOW !!!!!!really AMAZING real Talented never in AMERICAN history before,Im really PROUD to be American Again,,he's Zionist, Muslim, Christian, Black, White,Buddist,Hindu,Bengali,African,Red-Indian,Chinese,Japanese,Hawaiian,..........WOW this all are an ASSETS smart Americans can be proud of,only the FOOL and STUPID can treats this as LIABILITY that look exactly like themselves.

Barack Obama would actually be much better for America security. There's no doubt to me McCain would be better than Bush, the Bush years being probably as much about fueling terrorism than fighting it. But McCain would still represent (but less) what can be seen as America's arrogance, something that makes USA so unpopular around the world. A black man with Hussein as a middle name would send a clear message in Middle East that America is about freedom, an important contrast with some form of imperialism. Combined with Obama intelligence about understanding dialogging with enemies, I humbly think this would affect directly terrorism recruiting. I may sound over-optimistic, but I think his image alone as a president could do more for democracy in Middle East than any war.

This Economy common sense!! yet many Americans have difficulties to understand the basic of their existence in first place.Check out the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18 and 19). Take a look at Romans 1:22-32. Pretty sobering reading - if you are not too self-important and arrogant to think you've already got it all figured out and don't need the input of the Ancient of Days. Don't guess they teach Proverbs 1:7 at those Ivy League school.

FACT: The President's approval rating is at an all-time low.
FACT: The approval rating of the Democratically-controlled Congress is half that of the President.

In these postings, it seems to me that Liberals blame everything wrong/evil on Conservatism, and Conservatives blame everything wrong/evil on Liberalism. (Or Democrats ??? or Republicans.) Take away the labels, and debate policies and actions based on fact.

I know that 'we' are supposed to be posting our own comments but Progressive Demigod pretty much said most of what I would say. I must, however, add on to the fact that corporations own our souls.

Who owns the majority of Wal-mart's stock? Ned Lamont, Connecticut Democratic Senate candidate, does and so do many other very suspicious stockholders (with some definite ties to major bankers). Who owns the Ferderal Reserve (a private bank, yes, the Fed. Res. is a private bank)? The major banking families do. And where are these major banking families? They're in DC either corrupting laws in the procces of being made or making the corrupt laws themselves. And what does the Fed. Res. do? It distributes money that it lends to us at interest (yes, interest). And who earns that money? We do. But who is taxing us for that money back? The government. And who, in a way, owns the government? The major bankers. And what does the goverment own? The IRS. Who owns the IRS? The bankers. And who owns the media? Former and current Bush officials. And who works along side the Bush and Cheney families? The Bankers.

Wal-Mart, the Federal Reserve, the IRS, the media, the broken American system, everything is all tied together. Open your eyes to truth and the truth will set you free, something that submissive conservatives have not liberated themselves from yet.

I have spent the last half hour trying to read the misspelled and unpunctuated gobbledygook on this thread and have finally given up. It is appalling that so many of you quite probably graduated from high school, and perhaps college, and find it impossible to express yourself clearly and succinctly without making gross mistakes in our common language, ENGLISH. Perhaps all of you should take a course learning English as a second language because it obviiously isn't your first one. Good grief. Don't expose your ignorance for all the world to see.

Honestly, putting the word "tiny" in front of groups the author obviously doesn't agree with is not good journalistic practice. Tiny is a good adjective for a mouse, not a think tank. Quantifying statements allows a reader to judge your statements; using qualifiers proves that you are making a statement.

This is to the "all wise conservative"... I didn't think ignorance like that still existed in peoples' thoughts. First of all, I congradulate you for making a fool of yourself. One, you somehow managed to tie intolerance into this Wal-Mart issue here. But the biggest thing I want to unveil to you here is that THE FREE MARKET IS A CROCK. You ever hear of the laissez-faire? In other words, "government should not handle the affairs of the economy"? Bologna. Why do you think there were monopolies in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century? Workers were enduring eighty hour work weeks and children sometimes as young as 8 worked in dangerous conditions. That was because there were no gov't regulations. That was being conservative at its "finest". I'm guessing you wouldn't mind sending your child off to work in a sweat shop for 12 hours a day the way you were talking. And Reagon's "trickle-down" theory... that was an equal failure. Give money to the rich so it could make its way down to the poor? Does that sound right to you? I guess so. Oh yes, I'm glad you still stand by president Bush even after he clearly showed his inability to function as a decent, honest president. "Let's just let the people of New Orleans suffer; it's not the Fed's job!" OR get this one: "Let's create blind patriotism so nobody will resist my oil-hungry, war monger tendencies!" Protect us from terror?! HA! You're kidding me, right? The only thing he did with his foreign policy was to create a greater domestic issue here on the home front. I see constant intolerance of Muslims, since I guess they are to blame for 9/11. Bush is ridiculous; don't you think maybe there's a reason WHY his approval rating is so low? And you contemplated that "WE MUST BUY". You must be ignoring the people living in poverty here in the United States that don't have the extra money to keep the economy booming for all you rich ignorant conservatives. Oh, and turning around the high gas prices on LIBERALS, the people who are looking for alternative sources of energy?! Your greatest folly yet!!! History (which I'm assuming you know nothing of) shows us that the only time oil has been over 25 dollars a barrel is when there have been conflicts in the Middle East. Who's responsible for that one? That's right! Bush. Okay, and I do thank the conservatives. Just wait, I haven't told you what for. I thank the conservatives FOR: monopolies, slavery, segregation, restriction of basic human rights, and above all, IGNORANCE. And one last thing: I'm amazed that some people are still living in such a dream world that they could possibly deny the global crisis we're in today that is global warming. Here's to conservatives: May we as a nation live in eternity as a backwards, unmoralistic society with our priorities going in the wrong direction....

If Wal Mart continues in this direction, it will back fire on them just like it has back fired on America. You give a Lib and inch, and they want a mile. Wal Mart, there will come a day when the Dems will be telling you what you can, and can't do, and by then, you will be to far into their web to get your self out, or if you do, it will be at great cost, and you can bet, at great, and nation wide bad publicity for you store, and the Lib press will not let until you bow down to their rule.

You guys are really getting lazy with your punctuation and clearity as it gets later. I don't like to nit-pick about small details like that, but they have evolved past the point of distinction. I can hardly tell what some of you are trying to say let alone decipher your tone. How quickly and how much you express yourself takes a backseat in importance when you sacrifice clearity to get to it.

Comment: If Wal-Mart or any other company wants to involve itself in politics, who are we to interfere? Business is business, and it should stay that way, in my opinion. If you stop and think about it, politics is a business. We pay these poeple to work in our best interest, sometimes it's a struggle, but for the most part is works!
I do agree that all companies should offer affordable healthcare to all employees, but we know that's not going to happen in the near future. It is something that we are all going to have to work for. Eventually we may see change come in some form good.
I might not agree with everything I see, hear or read, but I don't ignore the fact that there is just cause for opposition. Weigh both sides of the issue and then stand on the side that fits your point of view. Quit complaining and and do something!
