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. --

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.

You could tell them that to their face but you got fired.
