Walmart is ever bit as bad as Target in the sexual deviant pandering - even WORSE in many respects.

That people are this oblivious to what’s going on is the reason we’re losing.

When you shop Walmart, you are funding the sexual deviants. Yes, even their “sex changes surgeries.”

I only go there to use the bathroom.

I have no sympathy for Target. They wanted to play with fire, and they got burned. Tsk.

I haven’t run across such a survey, but I would sure like to take it.

Well, enlighten me, then.

Tell me where I CAN shop. I live in a town of 283 people that has a tiny grocery store. The meats and cheeses are awesome - everything else? Not so much. I have NO hardware store and no feed store for pet supplies. I have puppies right now, so I NEED milk replacer. Should I just let the puppies die? These are $800 to $1K EACH ‘Puppies.’ There are 7 of them, so potentially $7K to my bottom line this year.

*ROLLEYES*

Please, PLEASE tell me what to do other than using the local Walmart or Farm & Fleet to buy my AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS. I CAN read labels. I’m NOT stupid. Yeesh!

Do you live in some MAGICAL metropolitan hub where EVERYTHING you NEED is easily at your fingertips? I can’t grind my own flour (yet), milk a cow (yet) or sew ALL of my own clothing (yet!) I don’t know HOW to make shoes. Do you? I need gasoline and tires for my farm equipment. And I can only grow so much food each season. Come weed and water my garden if it means that much to you so I don’t shop at Walmart for AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS!

WTF does the average person DO to come up to YOUR standard of APPROVED commerce interchange?

PLEASE! Enlighten me!

I hear you, but we are in a war, no less serious and deadly than a physical battle. War is hell. We do without, pay a little more, plan ahead, and... did I say do without?

As long as we pay tribute to the Beast, he’ll continue to live to oppress and eventually kill us. We have a weapon against it - our CHOICE.

The bathroom ordeal certainly hurt them. There is no denying that.

That said, I think Target was heading for a reckoning this year anyway. If you need something from a big box retailer, why pay more at Target when there is a Wal-Mart every few miles? Target can only co-exist with Wal-Mart when the Target store is significantly closer to the buyer.

In my home town of 50,000, we have two Wal-Marts, a Meier and a Target. Guess which parking lot is empty? Target. It just got a lot more empty after toiletgate.

My local Target/WM are about 4-5 miles apart along a major highway. Both have about a equal drive once you get off the highway of less than a mile. Even before the bathroom thing, the Target has always been much slower.

Target caters to people who care about feelings and pretty shiny tile floors, etc. if I need some towels or light bulbs, etc. I don’t care if it is a polished/sealed concrete floor or tile, etc. I just want a good bargain.
