Last year, a couple of days before the 4th, my girlfriend and I went to do some shopping at the local Wal-Mart. Being both progressives, we held our noses going to the store, but we easily rationalized it since it was the only store for fifteen miles. But on this particular day what we saw outraged both of us and we immediately put back our basket of stuff and haven't been back since. Actually, I did go back once--a few mintues later to take pictures of what I saw. Below are the photos I took. It was smack dab in the middle of the store.
I won't shop at any store that has such a social and political agenda. This water-carrying for the Republicans is, as they once said, an intolerable act. Now my girlfriend and I always make the long drive to K-Mart, and see it as our civic duty.
