Wal-Mart Finds an Ally in Conservatives

This is a real problem with "vulgar" libertarians: they assume that business is always right, and that if you criticize a business you must be a socialist of some stripe ...

Meanwhile, big box stores like Wal-Mart go on using eminent domain and collecting what amounts to corporate welfare checks by the boatload.

Add in the interlocking funding and you'll understand why I cannot take such otherwise admirable institutions as the Manhattan Institute very seriously as defenders of freedom anymore.

As Wal-Mart struggles to rebut growing criticism, it has discovered a reliable ally: conservative research groups.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
