I sent this email to Wal-Mart two years ago. Their response is a canned email (what a joke) - perhaps Wal-Mart would like to explain how their core principles are aligned with Red China? (read it from bottom up)

Thank you for your message.

Thank you for contacting us regarding our decision to discontinue
selling Maurice's barbecue sauce.

Our decision has nothing to do with the Confederate flag or the
product.

After researching Mr. Bessinger's history and present day business
practices, Wal-Mart and SAM'S Club found that Mr. Bessinger's company is distributing materials that are contrary to one of our core principles, respect for the individual.

In fact, the following is a direct excerpt from "Biblical View of
Slavery," a message by Pastor John Weaver that is distributed by Maurice Bessinger in some of his restaurants:

"I am going to show you not only biblically, but historically how especially many of those African slaves blessed the Lord for allowing them to be enslaved and sent to America. Because what they had over here was far better than what they had over there."

We hope this clarifies our position on this matter and that you will
continue to shop with us.


Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
For futher correspondence regarding this issue, please reply to this
email.


----Your Original Comments Were----

Why have you discontinued carrying Maurice's BBQ at Wal-Mart & Sam's
Club locations?

It seems you have no trouble carrying products made from components in
China or other foreign countries, but you discontinue a patriotic American's
products because of the flag he flies?

I would like to hear a response from Wal-Mart executives on this issue.

Thank You.

What barf. Walmart won't respond to questions about China and its core principles. And they sure do more busness with the commies than Maurice.

The same week WalMart banned Maurice's, Chinese social workers through a pregnant Chinese woman out a second story window to her death, because she refused to get an abortion.

The policy makers at Walmart are greedy PC, commie, pinko scum.
