Hmmm... in other words, America is a massive conglomeration full of Chinese owned merchandise? Sounds about right to me.

Although they sampled 1097 “random Americans,” it doesn’t say what their refusal rate was, and the fact that it was taken over a weekend is not encouraging. Sorry. I’m calling this a push-poll; not scientific.

Half the respondents of a new poll say taxing the richest Americans by at least 50 percent is a great idea, while more than a third consider Twitter a fad that will likely fade.

Well, no wonder Obama won. If 50% or more really believe that, no conservative will ever be elected President again.

I visited Montreal in July, and it was quite an experience in a french-only speaking wal-mart when youre...well, English only. All in all I would say the French there are a cut above the French in say, Paris.

Obama was edged out by George Clooney (24 percent to 26 percent) among respondents choosing "which man they would most like to trade places with for a week,"

A week of waking with what?

Shoot me now...

Obviously none of these idiots have ever read Atlas Shrugged or 1984.

Speaking purely as a third party here; I predict the following:

Every liberal, socialist, or communist that continues down this path does so at they're own risk.

Soon; and very soon, Americans are going to rise up and begin to push back against those “people”; and they will do so with the force of arms.

When that time comes, there will be no place on this Earth that a liberal, democrat or socialists will be able to hide in the fifty states.

The Americans they so instantly label as right wing extremists, and domestic terrorist? Well, they know who “you” are. And make no mistake about it, they've been making their own list's too.

Come Judgment Day you WILL be hunted down.

If your lucky, you'll be shot on sight or executed by firing squad.

For those “special” people; you'll probably be tried, then hanged like the cockroaches that you are.

Again, this is simply a prediction.

I like Walmart, where I did most of my routine shopping in the US. I lived in the country, so small town Walmarts were great. Saying that they sell Chinese junk is totally overblown and they are no worse then any other chain store.

That being said, I think most all of western civilization
has reached the Peter Principle, and there will be no
going back to the “good old days”.
In America, massive Hispanic immigration, radical changes
in public, now pubic, education, and developing black power has changed the equation.
Fortunately, for me, I am retired and do not have to live there anymore.

No, GM most symbolizes America.

Sucking in taxpayer dollars while the management disregarding what Americans want, to follow their own idea of right (which happens to benefit themselves).

An upper management which routinely rewards themselves for failure.

And a willingness to plow ahead on failed policies.

How could one NOT see the similarities?

If this poll was administered accurately, remember, the Obama crowd shops at Walmart. The big question is - Did they ask the questions while at different WalMarts?

Remember, WalMart gave millions to Obama, they make billions off of food-stamps, welfare, wic, etc. They would also benefit if the health-care bill were passed.

Walmart is a Welfare Corporation guys and gals. Hate me if you must, my job is to inform and make people think. So, Think about it.

Ten years ago or more I read that if we taxed all income over 50 or 100 thousand at 100% it would run the fed/guv for only 2 or 3 days. There just ain’t that many ‘’rich’’ folks already.

I truly don’t understand the hatred of Wal-Mart among Freepers. Wal-Mart has done more for poor people of America and the world than ANY government program has ever done. And don’t Freepers SUPPORT free enterprise?

Perhaps it’s an “elitist” thing, with people thinking they are “too good” to shop at Wal-Mart. However, I know people with a six-figure-plus incomes who shop at Wal-Mart, so I’m not sure that elitism correlates with income. I think it just comes down to snobbery.

In rural and suburban America, Wal-Mart is a good place to shop, and has been for 25 years or more. If you support free enterprise, why hate on a company that has become successful giving the people what they want?

I think that is a logical response.

About half the population no longer pays income tax.

And their understanding of economics comes from government schools and liberal college professors.
