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.

"Now, by surrendering to the radical homosexual lobby, Wal-Mart has entered the political arena with no economic benefit to their company or their customers," he said.

One must wonder why so many companies feel it necessary to announce and implement programs and support for such a small segment of the population at the expense of alienating a much larger segment.

Silence on this issue retains the good will of the population that views homosexual behavior as undesirable without antagonizing homosexual practitioners and their supporters. Therefore, it would seem the smart business move for stockholders, customers, employees and everyone else would be “no comment.”

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.

"This was not a job to me, it was a ministry given to me by God Himself to help His people in need and get paid for it at the same time," Baird said

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.

"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?

It makes me so angry that gay and lesbian people have this need to fully define themselves by their sexual preference. Is there nothing else about their lives that is worth talking about? Honestly, most homosexuals I have known are the most creative, energetic people. Can't they think of themselves as something other than "gay?"

Why on EARTH does any company (aside from one making sex toys, etc) need to create an entire marketing division focused on attracting people with a certain sexual preference? They did not hire a "heterosexual marketing" group, or a "beastiality marketing" group. Where is the "pedophile marketing" division? What other sexual preferences can they create an entire marketing division for?

Reprehensible and discriminatory. I guess I'll have to drive the extra miles to shop at Crest.

Other than one woman feeling good about herself, this is a total non-story.

Being respectful to others is not the same as kissing their posteriors and promoting their agenda. And the argument that that profit is more important than principles, our forefathers spat on that one. Whether one promotes evil because they really believe in it, or just because it makes a profit, the result is the same. Evil.
