Did you even bother to read the material at Snopes? Somehow, I don't
think that you did, because you pulled out your prerecorded response
immediately after jerking your knee.

Did YOU even bother to read what was written at Snopes?

Did you read it?? It said that it is "partnering" with the GLA to "promote
diversity" and promote non typical gay marriages. Everytime I hear that buzz
phrase "promote diveristy" I can feel the little hairs on my neck standing up,
because what that really means is promoting non traditional values. Since
I have a SuperWalmart within a stones throw of me, its going to be difficult
not to go there but this tears it with me and no doubt hundreds of thousands
or more of us lowly tradiionalists that happen to believe not only do words
mean things but so do actions like this. They really are sticking their noses
where they dont belong,,, no pun intended, and I think they are going to get
bit in the long run.


Well, instead of a year, it only took Wal-mart a few days to back away
from their preposterious position. A threatened boycott seemed to do
the trick, just as I suggested in a previous post. Wal-mart is all
about profit; not principle, and they'll sell out at the drop of a hat.
The relevant excerpt is as follows:

"While stressing its commitment to diversity and equality, Wal-Mart (WMT)
said in its statement that it "will not make corporate contributions to
support or oppose highly controversial issues unless they directly
relate to our ability to serve our customers."

"Mona Williams, Wal-Mart's vice president of communications, said in a
telephone interview that the company would continue working with the Gay
and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and other gay-rights groups on specific
issues such as workplace equality."

"Going forward, we would partner with them on specific initiatives. ...
As to opposed to just giving blanket support to their general operating
budget," she said. -- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,231259,00.html

See there? Stick up for traditional values, and these people cave in
and run away. It's one more win for the good guys. We've got Christmas
back at Wal-mart and gay marriage support is out on its derriere.

I love it when a plan comes together.


Wal-mart managers are mostly all cowards anyways and they **** liars
to boot. Wal-mart should be force out of business for the good of
US women who they cheat regular on wages and promotions.
