Sam is probably spinning in his grave.
Now this is a woman with principals! We should be more like her and this agenda would be defeated. God bless her.
One of the companies top executives led the dialogue with NLGC, I understand.
I don't have his name handy but it is probably worth mentioning at some time in the future.
I think a lot of people are experiencing a deep disappointment with the company that Sam Walton built on higher standards than people like Lee Scott have.
I personally used to love shopping at WalMart, but when they put up all their signs in English AND Spanish, I rarely go there now. Our community has Japanese, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese and several others beside Mexicans.
I hope Sam is turning in his grave! I've been a very ardent supporter of Wal-Mart for 30 years! I will not buy from there again, unless they drop this agenda now.
Double standard. Nah, not with the lamestream mess??!
So once more, the assault by the leftists has succeeded in 'taking down' yet another corporation that was formerly based on family values vs. on leftist 'no values'.
How sad.
The answer is clear and obvious. WalMart is trying to get the socialist, anti-Corporation leftists off of it's back. The only way to do that is to donate to their leftist causes and to embrace the ideology of the left.
I bet the DemRats/leftists are celebrating everywhere over this.
I guess God took His ministry back?
"I got God backing me. That's where I stand on it," she told WND in an interview.
Let me know how much he pays.
The people on these threads are pathetic. If you all boycotted every company that gave a few grand to some gay group, you'd be living out in the woods in a log cabin, chasing rabbits with a stick.
Forget all the good Wal-Mart does and has done, all the people they employ, all the money they save Americans, they **GASP** gave a few thousand bucks to a gay group!
The media has FReepers number with this story. It would be kind of funny were it not so sad.
Appeasement never works...A lesson that history teaches over and over, again.
"It is unfortunate," Perkins said, "that Wal-Mart has joined forces with an organization.."
More freakin' spin. I donate to the Unted Way but I have not "joined forces" with them. Ridiculous.
Why don't people stop paying their taxes since a hell of a lot more money from taxes goes to gays than does Wal-Mart money. Come on, Janet Naird, put your holier-than-thou money where your holier-than-thou mouth is. The government gives milllions to these groups. What do you intend to do about that? You could always move to A Middle Eastern country.....please?
But the other reason these companies cater to the gay lobby is that if you want to recruit technical and creative talent for your company, you'd best not be allergic to gay people. And the ones who are straight that you've already hired might be very sympathetic to gay people, and would bolt if you transmitted the message that gay people are not welcome at your firm or might be poorly treated at your firm. (I'm a math professor, so I know a lot of these kind of people. The academic culture at even small red state schools is now very pro-gay, if you are uncomfortable around gay people you're going to be an unhappy camper. It doesn't bother me. My point being that the technical and creative people come from the university environments, and share the same culture.)
So...Wal-Mart is run by perverts now....
Perhaps they should change their name
to Up-Mart, "For the discerning defect!"
Walmart is shaking in its boots.
Homosexuals are *not* "ordinary people"
nor are they or ever will be "normal".
They are biological, genetic,
sexual, and cultural, defectives.
