Wal-Mart in NRO

Over at National Review Online Byron York has an article that supplies some perspective on the Wal-Mart bashing that has become the favorite sport of left wingers these days. Wal-Mart is not perfect. I'm not happy with the decision that they made to stop selling handguns and handgun ammunition. I'm not happy with their efforts to purge any mention of Christmas out of the Christmas Season. But nothing made by the hand of man is perfect and, on balance, Wal-Mart does a great deal more good than harm in the world.

After all, no one is forced to work there or shop there.

    Americans having choices unapproved by them is the liberals' biggest bugaboo. Even Chinese workers having those choices is anathema to them!

    True enough. I remember several years ago Barry Lynn (an ACLU lawyer) on his short lived radio talk show trying to explain why there were some choices that people just shouldn't have access to.

    Hi,

    I referenced your post on my blog, The Business of America is Business, where I recently had a "round-up" of Wal-Mart related posts. My blog URL is
    http://thebusinessofamericaisbusiness.biz

    The URL for the round-up post is

    I compared remarks in your post to those of a very liberal blogger in Seattle. They were quite different!

    please do drop in for a visit.

    thoughtfully,
