WalMart is a chithole full of rejects and whitetrash. Why anyone goes into the ones around here I'll never understand. Last time I went in one, about 3 years ago it was filthy and the help was rude.

They actually think they are doing you a favor by pushing their overpriced commie crap.

This is a stooge company, a place to unload cheap Chinese goods in exchange for servicing our debt. Screw them!

Sheesh folks, actually READ Uncle Rick's post. He's pointing out irony. An American owned company, is selling in their US stores, a line they have manufactured in China, and they call it "Faded Glory". Pretty ironic if you ask me.

Not to mention all the 'Made in China' American flags.

that is funny/ironic.

Faded Glory was a line of jeans several years back, they must have a million labels left over.

^ no doubt

China's day of reckoning is coming, if it hasn't started already. Once you destroy your competitors you are ironically destroying your markets as well. People have to have the cash/credit to buy cheap Chinese goods and not everyone can work directly or indirectly for the Chinese. Besides, they're probably the planet's cheapest employers, greatest polluters, and unrepentant copyright pirates. Criminals on the grand scale.

Back in the day, I had a friend who would only frequent local small businesses. He wanted to support American entrepreneurship. Not me. I was one of the "free market" sheep basing my purchase primarily on best price. Now the mandarin gallinas have come home to roost.

They gotta have some place to unload their seconds. They keep the good knock-offs for themselves.

The irony did not elude me, I just have a strong dislike for that place. That ''Faded Glory'' and the irony is as old as the years the brand has been out.

The last time I went in there was to buy ammo, It was then that they stopped selling firearms and ammo in the ones here, haven't been back.

My Wranglers are made in Mexico too, but at least they use US made denim. About 10 years ago, Levi started a big anti-gun campaign, and they still contribute to anti-gun groups. Won't touch the brand.

Well said.....totally on board!! Unlike some others here, I also care about and base my purchases on this type of criteria!! I guess I DON"T have bigger fish to fry......besides I have the mental capacity to care about more than just one or two things
