As more and more business establishments weigh-in on political issues, it is getting tougher and tougher for the principled patriot to do his shopping.
As several chains have made it clear
that my firearm is not welcome in their store, they’ve simultaneously
made it clear that my money is not welcome, either. As stores bend to
Shariah law or promote a pro-homosexual agenda in their marketing, it
seems clear that stores are getting caught in the crossfire between the
right and left and are being forced to take sides.
Recently,
the retail giant Walmart was asked to withdraw funding from Al
Sharpton’s National Action Network (NAN). Walmart, like so many brands,
have fallen victim to the racial extortion racket which Al Sharpton has
perfected. To pacify those who threaten to lob accusations of racism,
the retail giant has been giving money to Sharpton’s organization.
The
National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) has written to ask that Walmart
no longer contribute to the man who’s rhetoric inspires hatred and
violence.
The letter states:
We ask that Walmart end its financial support of Al Sharpton and his organization, the National Action Network (NAN).
The
cold-blooded murder of two New York City police officers, Rafael Ramos
and Wenjian Liu, follows weeks of Sharpton’s vilification of law
enforcement personnel.
As
you know, Walmart has helped bankroll Sharpton for years. Most
recently, the company was a sponsor of Sharpton’s 60th birthday party in
New York City, which reportedly was a fundraiser for NAN that raised a
million dollars.
We
have repeatedly raised the issue of your support for Sharpton,
including at the Walmart annual meeting. You cannot lay any claim to
corporate social responsibility as long as you write checks to Sharpton.
This is not the first time that
violence and loss of life have followed Sharpton’s agitation, such as in
the 1991 Crown Heights riots and the 1995 Freddy’s Fashion Mart
incident. Sharpton’s involvement in these and other abhorrent episodes,
such as the Tawana Brawley hoax, are a matter of record. You cannot
claim that you are unaware of Sharpton’s past record of anti-Semitism
and incitement.
Other
corporations support NAN, and we will be making the same request of
them, but Walmart is the biggest and most prominent corporation funding
Sharpton. It is essential that Walmart lead the way in disassociating
corporate America from Sharpton’s demagoguery.
As of yet, there has been no statement from Walmart regarding a policy change.
On
one hand, patriots who abhor the race war being ignited by
race-hustlers like Al Sharpton should be outraged that Walmart fuels
this hatred.
On
the other hand, however, should we blame Walmart for this shake-down?
Does one blame the merchant for paying “protection” money to the Mafia
so that they do not burn down his business? Similarly, whether we like
it or not, Sharpton’s protesters-for-hire are a disastrous bunch of
extortionists who are very skilled at their nefarious racket.
