Sorry, but there ain't one darn thing "liberal" about WalMart.

Among this redneck, reactionary, group's claims to fame is funding
the
"Evergreen Freedom Foundation" in my home state.
They support some shamefully selfish and destructive philosophies.

The current social contribution of WalMart proper is to insist that
all of its
suppliers manufacture everything offshore. To hell with the long term
economic
health of the country, as long as the "right" folks can make as much
money as
possible in the short term. Treason doesn't have to be political, it
can be
economic as well.

Like most urban residents, I take specific pride in *never*
purchasing anything
from WalMart. I'll pay 20% more to do business with a company that
has a
conscience.



On most items I'd care to buy, Wal-Mart's prices are about the same as
everyone else's. Couple of weeks ago, I took a flyer of Wal-Mart's to
my unionized grocery store, and found, that for the items I was buying
at the grocery, Wal-Mart had the same price for most items, was a
little higher on some and a little lower on others. These were not food
items...I would not buy any food items from a retail operation as dirty
and sloppy as Wal-Mart.
