This is a new twist on an old story. I think you'll find it interesting.

It’s not been reported because that would put a positive twist on the ugly image the msm has painted on Walmart. Not to mention they wouldn’t want to distract from Bush causing Katrina in the first place.

Thanks, Billybob. If the masses knew that, they’d actually shop there more. Can’t have that, you know.

But the real fight over Wal-Mart concerns unions. It is a non-union business. And unions are on the liberal, Democratic side of the political spectrum, as are about 80 percent of all reporters and editors. Now, it becomes clearer why this extraordinary story of the freedom to act that Wal-Mart gave its people, and how they used that, has not been widely reported. Bingo.

It isn’t just the Liberals, this article will throw a lot of Freepers into a rant mode too.

Thanks for the posting, Congressman Billybob. I don’t shop at Wal-Mart often, but I believe Mr. Sam Walton had true genius in leadership and marketing, and hardwired both traits into his company.
Wish they would carry more “made in USA” products, though.

Thankfully, Hillary Clinton was on their board of directors to make sure they did the right thing. < / sar >

Thanks for an inspirational piece.
Of course, the mainstram media is full of professional cynics who deliberately overlook anything positive about Walmart or any of the other named corporations. Their hate big business mentality dominates/edits over all -- which is why we can celebrate their demise.
To: Congressman Billybob
As the president of the brutalized Jefferson Parish put it in a Sept. 4 Meet the Press interview, speaking at the height of nationwide despair over FEMA's confused response: If [the U.S.] government would have responded like Wal-Mart has responded, we wouldn't be in this crisis.
Had the N.O. residents, Jefferson Parish president, Nagin, Blanco and countless other "locals" been as prepared and responded like Wal-Mart, the FEMA psychos the Coast Guard wouldn't have been as necessary.
To: Congressman Billybob
The American people work and Exxon-Mobil, Walmart, Target, or any other business. When given the chance they rise to the needs of others. My family gives more in charity then the major DEM elites after we see their tax returns. Our incomes are not a large as theirs. Every time one of these elites points a finger at these companies, they point it at giving Americans. The elites are hypocrites.

It is a non-union business. Only in the U.S. Overseas it is unionized in many countries. In China, where the purpose of the unions is more to keep the workers in line, Wal-Mart has actually embraced them.
To: Congressman Billybob
Great article. Wal-Mart is not the “fount of evil” that all leftists (and a lot of conservatives on this forum) paint them to be.
To: darbymcgill
oops..
FEMA psychos the Coast Guard = FEMA psychos and the Coast Guard..
I’m embarassed to put the Coast Guard so close to FEMA.
sorry.
To: Congressman Billybob
I like Wal-Mart. Cheap crap, appropriately priced.
I know it's all made in China. That's because the unions have made it impossible to make cheap crap appropriately priced in America.
If war breaks out, and China stops providing their goods, I have every confidence that the American people will be able to get our paper-drink umbrella, refrigerator magnet, and disposable razor factories up and running in a heartbeat.

Uh oh, the Wal-Mart bashers on FR won't like this.
Gabz, thought you might be interested.
To: Madame Dufarge
The Wal-Mart bashers didn't show up
here when the original was posted. Well, maybe a couple . . . the rest ran for hills.

I was not introduced to Walmart until I relocated. What a surprise, they are friendly, theri prices are way better than Kroger or Albertsons and it saves us about $30-$40 a week on the same items. Best part is their return policy. Bring it back and no problem.
There are a few things we get elsewhere, like fresh produce, but other than that I's sold on Walmart. IMO

And they have completely adopted the “green” hoax. Of course there could be a demand for that sort of thing. But I just hate it. Can’t even find a decent light bulb there. I refuse to pay 8 bucks for an ugly light bulb.
