Many of the local left will automatically sneer and dismiss anything from "faux news" yet frequently sight media matters as as proof of their dementia.

Robert Belfer said it perfectly in his reply. I don't expect any less out of the left but to slam and ridicule their opponent. It happens from both the left and the right, but 99.99% of the time, the left is reaching and making stuff up where stuff doesn't exist, and the right just wants to know the facts. A sad commentary, but I'm glad the Internet has made clear what tactics, propaganda and methods people use. It helps all of us to separate out the garbage. ;)

Walmart management vs. Moronic management Wal-Mart(independent entrepreneural)management: 1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day. 2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute! 3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year. 4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined. 5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private Employer, and most speak English. 6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World. 7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only 15 years. 8. During this same period, 31 supermarket chains sought bankruptcy. 9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world. 10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 Years ago. 11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.) 12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart. Moronic (government bureaucratic) management: The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is BROKEN. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is BROKEN. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is BROKEN. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right and it's BROKEN; 1$ trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are BROKEN Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is BROKEN. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal FAILURE. You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars. AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??
