Walmart: Paragon of Freedom and Justice

While browsing Jakeneck after the previous posting I couldn't resist importing this brilliant post of a letter to Wal Mart executives:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walmart: Paragon of Freedom and Justice

From Jesus' General. Do your patriotic duty. Fight tryanny and hypocrisy.

Dear Wal-Mart Executive Team,

I imagine that the traitors among us are giving you a hard time for refusing to carry Robert Greenwald's Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War. They just can't comprehend how you could consider such a film to be unpatriotic. You see, they don't understand the value of having unquestioning loyalty for a great leader even when he's wrong.

That's why they'll probably condemn you for rejecting Uncovered while carrying Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will. I imagine they'll take great pains to paint you as a corporation which values authoritarian order over free speech. They'll never understand Triumph of the Will's patriotic message about the importance of blind obedience to leadership.

I say to hell with the traitors. Wal-Mart should be proud to be a symbol of authoritarianism. Indeed, I urge you to sponsor a Triumph of the Will like tribute to fascism at your headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas. I'm sure the local Chamber of Commerce would love the idea. Think about it. Bentonville could become the new Nuremberg.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, Patriot
