Wal-Mart? No, thanks anyways....

.
Am a firm believer in business and making an honest dollar. Think it is good if an individual or company is successful in their efforts. And this is well within the intentions of the Founders of our country. This is all predicated of course, on the notion that the individual or company is doing it ethically and rightfully.And far more so, if they use the Principles of Freedom and Liberty in their pursuit of profitable Free Enterprise.
.
It is my belief, that Wal-Mart exhibits no sound morals in it's pursuit of the almighty dollar. Which is exceedingly despicable when considered in the light that they started in the heartland of America. They have little to no regard that slave labor is used to make the majority of the products they sell.
.
And now Wal-Mart is announcing it wil not longer sell firearms in about 1000 of it's stores, according to an AP article. Effectively dismissing a crucially important aspect of American foundation principles. All the while Wal-Mart clearly uplifts, supports and helps to promote communist ideals! It is very clear just what is of paramount importance to Wal-Mart. And it has NOTHING to do with true American ideals.
.
Even more despicable, is that they acquiesced to the whining of ilk such as Chuck 'Usurpin' Schumer and the wicked witch of the west Diane Underminin' Feinstein. This according to Gun Control Kills in an article posted 4/15/2006. That these traitors keep getting elected into office is incomprehensible. They and similar unprincipled politicians are what is destroying our country from within.They seem more at ease using the principles of communism and socialism. Than the intended Constitutional Republican Principles, which are the true Foundation of our country.
.
This comes as no surprise really. Especially, when one takes into consideration Hitlery's announcement of jumping back on the Usurpation Train. And, that Bill and Hitlery were very helpful to Wal-Mart in the early formative days. But that is a whole different story in and of itself. It is an interesting coincidence that these two announcements come so close to each other. Point to ponder on....
.
Right now we need to concentrate on getting this perverse behemoth shut down. Wal-Mart does little to no good for our economy. In fact the trade deficit with China, as a direct result of Wal-Mart's Avarice. Has placed our country in a very precarious position. Now, to be fair, (if that is indeed the proper word to use), Wal-Mart isn't the only unprincipled business doing huge amounts of trade with the communists. No, unfortunately, there are quite a few more that have left off using true American principles in their practices.
.
We need to stop these businesses and soon. They are getting rich off of slavery, as well as the destruction of our country. By spending any of our own money with them, we are directly assisting in our own demise. We need a return to a domestically self-sustaining economy. One in which we can return to being the envy of the rest of the world.

Reasonably cheap ammo is the only reason I shop at Wal-Mart. I'm a small business owner, and I know too many of my fellow s-b owners who've shut down because of Wal-Mart. If they can deliver better stuff at a cheaper price, the free market guy in me doesn't have a complaint. But the friend in me does, so I won't shop there but for ammo.

If they go gunless, I won't have to shop there at all. No big loss to them, no big loss to me.

What's next - giving in to PETA and ceasing fishing pole sales?

Jay,

I would take it a step further. In my mind, it would be necessary for the business to make the profit by a rightful means. There is nothing wrong with competition. It keeps a market thriving.

But when a business uses unscrupulous mehods - ALL bets are off. At least in my point of view. It goes back to the base of standing on Principles. If one has no solid basis on which they stand, they will inevitably fall.

As Thomas Jefferson pointed out;

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are a gift of God. Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever."

There is a just price that must ultimately be paid for everything. There is good reason to be concerned when we consider how far off base our country has become!

I don't disagree - I was referring to the small business owners I know. Their business demise comes down to Wal-Mart delivering something for a cheaper price. Whether or not it was from unethical or crooked means, I cannot say.

Jay,

May have made the statement I did in a way as it could be misconstrued.

It was not my intention to appear as if I was contending with your position. Rather, I was trying to expand your idea, in support of it. For I to, have no qualms with a Free Market. The only bounds being, that of the principles of Right.

Best,

David
