Clay Waters, author of the article Old Guy posted, is a dedicated Democrat basher and an apologist for the Bush administration. Most of his writings do little more that take to task anyone who is critical of anything Bush does, or who criticizes the practices of companies like Wal-Mart, whose employment practices are well known, and who intimidate their suppliers into selling to them for ridiculously low prices, resulting in either producing shoddy products or outsourcing, or both. Waters also has a thing about the Clintons. And the Dixie Chicks. I'm not surprised that Old Guy used him as a source for yet another cut-and-paste.

Many examples of Clay Waters' vitriolic attacks on Democrats, liberals, and progressives—or anyone critical of Bush—on this web site HERE.

There have already been many discussions of Wal-Mart and its business practices on this forum. I, personally, do not have the inclination—or the stamina—to rewrite what I've already said on the subject. Much has been written on the subject by many people here. Do a search.
