One nice thing about the left trying to appeal to religious voters now too is that it’ll lead to increasingly inane, heavy-handed attempts on both sides to demagogue Christ’s hypothetical policy preferences. Here’s the opening bid via Gateway Pundit, who’s got essential background.
Organized labor: it’s all about Jesus.

Jesus wouldnt need to shop. He’d turn water into wine and fish into Ipods or something.
Dash on December 14, 2006 at 6:25 PM
This is stupid.
GT on December 14, 2006 at 6:28 PM
Of course Jesus would shop at Wal-Mart. Between Wally-world and Home Depot, they have the market on guys named “Hey-Zeus”
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on December 14, 2006 at 6:29 PM
Too Funny!!!
danarchy on December 14, 2006 at 6:30 PM
I just emailed you too AP, but wanted to let you know that Cavuto mopped the floor with this clown earlier… not sure if you DVRed it, but it would make a great companion video for this post. Cavuto always mops the floor with Walmart haters, but this one was a classic.
By the way, it seems to be total coincidence but he shares the same last name as another whacked out pastor.
Joe Phelps (above) - Highland Baptist Church
Fred Phelps (Troop funeral protests) - Westboro Baptist Church
RightWinged on December 14, 2006 at 6:30 PM
Amen. If hypocrites like John Edwards shop at Walmart should Jesus forgive them?
Scotsman on December 14, 2006 at 6:31 PM
oh, one of Cavuto’s key points is that the Walmart haters lump the pay and benefits of part-time employees (like high school kids, college kids, full-time moms with working husbands) in with regular workers to skew their numbers. Shameful, but the American left ran out of shame a LOOOOOONG time ago.
RightWinged on December 14, 2006 at 6:32 PM
The left is so Grinch-filled, all they want to give out is lumps of coal. Do they have those at Wal-Mart?
JammieWearingFool on December 14, 2006 at 6:38 PM
Jesus would probably
at Walmart. Cus all the carpentry jobs are taken by people who work for low wages and don’t require health ins or disability ins.
Bad Penny on December 14, 2006 at 6:42 PM
D’oh. That was supposed to be italic, not quote. Where’s my friend PIMF?
Bad Penny on December 14, 2006 at 6:43 PM
If I buy a Bible at Wal-Mart, have I committed a sin?
If I buy my presents at Wal-Mart so that I will have more money left over for my Christmas offering, have I committed a sin?
If I drop the change I got from my purchases at Wal-Mart in the Salvation Army kettle outside the door, have I committed a sin?
This is all too confusing!!!!
Mallard T. Drake on December 14, 2006 at 6:45 PM
Jesus would feed the five thousand shoppers at Wally world and declare the Good News to everyone shopping there. You people are confused. It’s Santa Claus that appears at Macy’s, not Jesus.
CyberCipher on December 14, 2006 at 6:50 PM
This anti-Wal-Mart pitch is typical of people who want to use God and/or Jesus as a club with which to beat their self-declared enemies.
But instead of asking, “Who is Jesus for?” a better question (and a more telling answer) would be, “Who’s for Jesus?” I’d bet the anti-Wal-Mart types aren’t prepared to cope with that one.
Spurius Ligustinus on December 14, 2006 at 6:52 PM
I rarely get into political debates (don’t like confrontation much) but, a few months ago, I engaged in a discussion with my dad and my aunts about WalMart. They are very liberal (my dad logs about 30+ hours of campaigning for Dems/week during election season) and, of course, were blaming all manner of ills on WalMart.
I’m not sure what possessed me, but, I jumped in on the side of the WalMart defenders (which numbered my sister and me).
Of course, no common ground was found, but, the funny thing is that, afterwards, my aunts told my mom that they had always thought my sister and I were “just slightly conservative, but now we see they are ultra-conservative.”
I found it funny that it wasn’t my pro-life, anti-gay marriage, gun range going, fair tax promoting, Republican campaigning etc etc that tipped them off. It was my support for WalMart. Who knew that was the one true mark of a conservative?
As for WalMart not providing health care for all their employees…..WAKE UP! They also don’t provide home owners insurance, fire insurance flood insurance, auto insurance or life insurance for their employees. We’re all big boys and girls and we can take care of our own health care. My employer doesn’t provide health insurance for me, and yet, somehow, I manage to budget for that all by myself!
Personal responsibility much?
JadeNYU on December 14, 2006 at 6:54 PM
What a moralizing creep. Proof that the Christian left is as full of it as those they imagine themselves superior to.
Drum on December 14, 2006 at 6:54 PM
OK, clue me in here,why do people have WDS ( Walmart derangement syndrome) ? Is it because they are successful, that they aren’t unionizes and the mob wants their cut? A combination of the two? I’m kind of confused as to why some people just go apoplectic over this company.
bbz123 on December 14, 2006 at 6:55 PM
The real question is whether the wheels on Jesus’s shopping cart would all roll in the same direction. I’d think that would be one of the perks of being the Son of God.
SailorDave on December 14, 2006 at 7:00 PM
I am dumber by tenfold after listening to that tripe.
Let me go make a DU account so I can hang with my intellectual equals.
Mortis on December 14, 2006 at 7:01 PM
Wow. Another new low…the left must be going for some kind of record! I don’t appreciate the “pastor” taking the name of my Lord and Savior and exploiting it to advance his political viewpoint.
JustTruth101 on December 14, 2006 at 7:10 PM
Exactly, JustTruth101. It happens on both left and right, but the left fancies, as ever, that they’re not doing the same thing. There is no difference between some blow-hard from the right guilting his parishioners out of seeing Harry Potter, than there is this this guy guilting them out of shopping for deals.
Drum on December 14, 2006 at 7:16 PM
Walmart breaks child labor laws. The democrats abort our children and put the “rights” of pedophiles above those of our children (ACLU & NAMBLA, for example). So if a democrat shops at Walmart, is that really, really bad?
jman on December 14, 2006 at 7:17 PM
That pastor is using the name of the Lord in vain. Number 3 on list of Ten Commandments.
Mallard T. Drake on December 14, 2006 at 7:17 PM
The more these people protest Wal-Mart the more I shop there. Screw the mob controlled unions. Nobody is forcing anyone to work at Wal-Mart.

I used to work for Wal-Mart.
The company is evil.
But I still shop there, because they sell stuff, cheap.
That’s just the way it is.
Slublog on December 14, 2006 at 7:30 PM
Yeah, I’ve never been much of a fan of Wal-Mart, but only because of the crowd … I hate big stores. But I’ve been hearing these commies for so long that I actually look forward to accompanying my wife next time she shops there. I will encourage her to buy all that she wants, and I’ll feel really good about it. And guess what, it will have effected my conscience as a Christian nil.
Drum on December 14, 2006 at 7:32 PM
The real hurt put on by Walmart is on all the small businesses, i.e. mom & pop shops, or companies w/ 10 employees or less. Tens of thousands of these companies have closed as a result of conglomerates.
The employees at Walmart are just fine.
shooter on December 14, 2006 at 7:35 PM
Pffft. Yeah. So. I won’t tell you where I work, but it’s evil too. Is there any large organization (of any kind) that ISN’T evil? Anything that gets “too big” succumbs to its own success. I don’t care if it is a government agency, a corporation, or even a church.
CyberCipher on December 14, 2006 at 7:39 PM
John Edwards didn’t shop at Wal*mart; he tried to get an unpaid underling to go in, drop Edwards’ name and attempt to bypass the whole Jesus-land concept of waiting your turn to get a PS3 for a snotty 6 year old (who personally upbraided a schoolmate for wearing shoes from Wal*mart).
Neo on December 14, 2006 at 7:44 PM
Wade on December 14, 2006 at 7:49 PM
It was a typical retail job - the work was crap, the managers were sometimes jerks and we were constantly pushed by district management to sell more and more.
But that wasn’t the evil part.
The evil part was the Wal-Mart cheer. Of it I will not speak.
Slublog on December 14, 2006 at 8:04 PM
Would Jesus shop at Walmart? Of course he would …

Basically, that’s it. They don’t mind mom & pop non-union shops, but if you get very big you become an example to others. Wal-Mart has the most efficient distribution system in the world; when Katrina hit the Gulf they were able to get truckloads of relief supplies to the affected areas immediately. They are able to keep costs low and pass the savings along to their customers.
What’s absurd about the health care thing is how many idiots actually think an employer pays for it in any meaningful way. The money my company pays for my insurance is part of what they pay for my services; it makes no difference to them whether it goes in my paycheck or to the insurance company. The same is true of the ‘employer’s portion’ of SS/Medicare. By making health insurance optional for their employees, those whose spouses or parents already have coverage for them need not have their wages reduced.
But union leaderss don’t really care about workers; they just want the dues and the power.
The Monster on December 14, 2006 at 8:12 PM
You’ve been READING the bumpers stickers again. STOP IT! That stuff is worse than pornography. (Actually, I’m envious. That was pretty funny.)
CyberCipher on December 14, 2006 at 8:14 PM
Let me tell you of a comparable union job here.
1. Union takes $9 /week from employees
2. Pay at union shop $1.75 less hour than Wal-mart
3. Health care 100% employee paid at union shop
4. Full time work not available at union shop until you been there 4 years.
Gee. That sounds like a great place to work, especially when the union employees get color glossy flyers mailed to their homes from the union bad mouthing Wal-Mart.
Name of the game at all retail stores is to increase sales. That is how costs are lowered. That is business.
Retail business is a tuff business and for unions to single out Wal-Mart because they will not unionize is pure socialism and hurts the very people who need lower prices.
Wade on December 14, 2006 at 8:21 PM
Take a joke, Wade.
I was kidding.
Slublog on December 14, 2006 at 8:31 PM
And I agree with you on Wal-Mart. You’re preaching to the choir.
Slublog on December 14, 2006 at 8:31 PM
It’s snobbishness disguised as politics. Even if Walmart were unionized, leftists still wouldn’t be caught dead shopping there.
Bad Penny on December 14, 2006 at 8:33 PM
I failed to see the humor in your original post.
Wade on December 14, 2006 at 8:46 PM
Of course, it was there at the end: “Paid for by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union” who, along with Joe Phelps, seem to be lowering principals every day.
thedecider on December 14, 2006 at 8:47 PM
I’ll admit, it wasn’t all that funny.
But I did elaborate with the Wal-Mart cheer comment. Unless you’ve experienced it, it’s hard to describe the pure crazy that is a manager leading the cheer at 7:00 a.m. in the breakroom.
Slublog on December 14, 2006 at 8:51 PM
It’s always interesting when people attempt to talk about the living savior who resides in all who love him, in the past tense.
Jesus does not want Wal Mart to be forced to sell abortion pills, he does not want anyone peddling in abortions at all, but they don’t want to talk about that!
IndependentConserv on December 14, 2006 at 8:53 PM
It’s snobbishness disguised as politics. Even if Walmart were unionized, leftists still would’t be caught dead shopping there.
Bad Penny on December 14, 2006 at 8:33 PM
Right on Penny. I have a lefty friend who hates Wal-Mart because she might have to breath the same air as poor people.
Also, funny how John (I was in Viet Nam) Kerry’s wife bitched so much about Wal-Mart but had no trouble having a few million invested if Wal-Mart stock.
How about Hillery and her connections to Wal-Mart, but they kiss the unions butt and bad mouth the very place they make money. Wonder what Jesus would say about that?
Wade on December 14, 2006 at 8:55 PM
Thanks for clearing that up. You are probably right about the cheer, but it is really hard to argue with success.
Wade on December 14, 2006 at 8:59 PM
I really wish someone would tell John Edwards.
Slublog on December 14, 2006 at 9:01 PM
What a great recommendation to shop at Wal-Mart - the left is firmly against it.
I do not believe tha the Left has the interests of the employees of Wal-Mart in mind, they are more interested in gaining political power. The Unions support the Left so the Left doesn’t like Wal-Mart.
This issue is not about employees or their benefits, this issue is about power and the Left’s passion to gain it at any expense.

tickleddragon on December 14, 2006 at 10:23 PM
Tickle, trying to be a bit ironic. I mean, really, everybody claims just what they’re certain Jesus wants the rest of us to do. If it isn’t the evangelicals on the right like Ted Haggard, it’s folks like Joe Phelps. Everybody claims Christ for their own agenda. There’s a Todd Rundgren song called God Said. And what does God say? “Get over yourself.” That’s probably what it all will amount to, eh?
Drum on December 14, 2006 at 11:02 PM
Christianity boils down to one thing…you and your relationship with Christ. Nobody else. Where you take it from there is up to you but in the long run you have to answer for what you have done, good or bad, right or wrong.

SilverStar830 on December 14, 2006 at 11:26 PM
Would Jesus shop at Wal-Mart?
OF COURSE.
And he would remind The People that the Unions have a history of being the handmaidens of organized crime, of being run by “made men” of the Mafia — the same people who hurt others for not going along, who sell drugs to pollute our children, who force women to sell their bodies to make a living, and who steal from the righteous, sometimes at the point of a gun.
Thou shalt not steal and thou shalt not kill are only two of the commandments that the unions, and the men who run them, have violated.
Jesus would repudiate the unions and the people who run them as bring pain and suffering upon The People, in the same way he repudiated the money-changers in the Temple.
There is no question here.
georgej on December 15, 2006 at 12:41 AM
One of the best comments on this thread. I used to work for a company that was unionized. They took my money every paycheck and did nothing for me. In the end, I lost my job because my company could no longer compete in the marketplace due to the straight-jacket they were placed in by the union. Today, my brother-in-law works for a unionized company. They constantly send him literature strongly encouraging him to consistently vote for liberal democratic candidates. They aren’t even about workers rights anymore - they’re about their own survival at the expense of a nation and of individual jobs. Today’s employment laws more than make up for the original reason unions were created in the first place. Their usefulness ended decades ago and they should be abolished.
thedecider on December 15, 2006 at 12:57 AM

The Highlands neighborhood has long been the liberal epicenter of Jefferson County here in Louisville, KY.
Color me unsurprised by Joe’s remarks.
Kadnine on December 15, 2006 at 4:32 AM
I choose not to shop at Wal-Mart for a couple of reasons:
1. I’ve dealt with them at the vendor level and strongly disagree with there business practices.
2. I don’t like the crowds.
3. Other stores are closer to home.
4. I’ve seen too many small rural towns lose home grown business once WM moves in.
But I can not deny their success, business plan or the fact that WM provide jobs to a lot of people. For those employee’s who work hard and excel, they are rewarded as it should be. They are a true capitalistic success just like Sears was 50-75 years ago.

I think it’s due to schadenfreude. They’re just so successful, that there are many people out there who want to see them put in their place. Same thing happened to Microsoft (but the hatred is not extreme).
My prediction: In a few years, Google and Starbucks will also be hated.

Just for the record, Jesus would never shop Wal-Mart, he would hit Lowe’s or The Home Depot. He would probably even shop Academy or at Bass Pro Shops too.

I couldn’t care less that Walmart employees don’t get health coverage (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and free abortions and botox) but I, and Jay Nordlinger, have a bit of an issue with the Chinese origin of so much of its stuff.

whenever i see this i’m always reminded of that old joke about “don’t anthropomorphize god, he hates when you do that”
naked-ape on December 15, 2006 at 10:53 AM
You know what cracks me up? No one gave a damn about Walmart until it moved in to larger cities. They’ve been out here in rural areas for decades - and most of us are thrilled to have them.
I live in one of those small rural towns (population 1600)
People who demonize Walmart, aren’t people who live in towns like mine, it’s people who have no clue that people live an existence that is different than their own.
Yes, we’ve lost a few small businesses. But just like any other market place at any other time in this nations history, businesses must adapt to changing times or they die - and I say that as a small business owner.
Shall we look at it in other ways?
From a consumers point of view:
We are almost 2 hours from the closest “large” city. In our town most businesses are one of’s with no competition. Many of the items we purchase at Walmart are either unavailable locally, or or could be cost prohibative to purchase at a local mom and pop type store.
Want to buy a DVD locally? 27 bucks - and you have a choice of 10-15 videos. A video game that sells at Walmart for 49.95? 67 bucks at our local store and again, you have a choice of 10 - 15 different games divided among several different systems - and the price rarely decreases as the games age. Printer ink? 9 dollars less at Walmart and only sometimes carried at my local store. Want to buy a computer? You’re SOL locally. No one has ever carried them at all. Two hour drive, baby, or buy it online.
Thing is, it’s not just electronics we’re talking about, the same goes for everything from clothing to groceries.
As a consumer, if Walmart didn’t exist in our area, many items I would either not purchase at all, or I’d purchase it on the internet.
By purchasing the item at Walmart, it continues to support our community as a whole through tax revenue.
From an employees point of view:
Most mom and pop businesses in the area pay at, or slightly above minimum wage.
NO small Mom and Pop businesses in this area offer health insurance of any kind. You are on your own, and most purchase it through the Farm Bureau.
The jobs in this area that do offer health insurance are jobs that are unaffected by Walmart - state government, healthcare and factory jobs.
Oh, and factory jobs that would be affected by Walmart purchasing in China - most of those have been gone from this area for years - long before Walmart began purchasing in China.
The factory jobs that do remain have a tendency to hire through temp agencies - you can work any where from 6 months to several years before they will hire you permanantly and make you eligible for health insurance anyway…
Sounds bad doesn’t it? Who could possibly “make it” on Walmart pay and benefits???
Teachers around here make twice the household average wage. Our police officers starting pay is 7 bucks per hour.. Walmart starting pay is 9 bucks…
Most around here do pretty well, considering you can still buy a house for 29 grand and an “expensive” house goes for about $100.000.
Like I said, different existence, and a pretty damned good one at that.
Tink on December 15, 2006 at 11:27 AM
To Rev. Joe Phelps
From: The Guy upstairs
Re: Name in vain
Check your scripture at Leviticus 19:15:
“You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly.”
And Matthew 7:1: “Judge not, that ye be not judged.”
In fairness, that Wal-Mart chain you rail against is really not so awful. I hear they now help the poor by selling prescription drugs on the cheap. And they appear to be doing other good works in the communities they serve. For example during just one year (2004), the store chain and its associated foundations achieved the following:
* Matched $61 million in grants for organizations in 3,500 communities, helping local schools, YMCA and other youth programs, fire departments, libraries and more.
* Gave more than $4 million to schools in Wal-Mart communities through local, state and national teacher of the year awards. Wal-Mart also provided through its Sam Walton Community Scholarship program $6 million in scholarships to 6,000 high school seniors that year.
* Partnered with the VFW to provide 900,000 kits to servicemen and women that included free phone cards, stationery and envelopes. Customers nationwide could also send messages through Wal-Mart in-store kiosks in support of our military men and women.
* Donated more than $7 million to assist communities and associates in hurricane ravaged areas of Florida and Alabama.
* Provided $3.9 million in direct support of the Children’s Miracle Network. In addition to this support, grants and donations raised through Wal-Mart and SAM’S CLUB stores nationwide gave $30 million to CMN in 2004.
* Helping to recover 120 children as a direct result of Wal-Mart’s Missing Children Boards. Since this partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children began in 1996, Wal-Mart stores have posted the pictures of more than 6,500 missing children, of which three out of four have been recovered.
* Through one of the largest volunteer programs in the U.S., Wal-Mart’s associate volunteer program, recorded 800,000 hours volunteered by associates in 2004. As a result of this volunteer activity, the program gave $5 million to organizations where Wal-Mart and SAM’S CLUB associates volunteered.
Is Wal-Mart perfect? No. But I did not send my Son to live only among the perfect. I sent him to inspire the sinner, not condemn him. So stop invoke my Son’s name, get off your holier-than-thou soapbox, and try to match the good works of Wal-Mart.
AlexHamilton on December 15, 2006 at 12:09 PM
Make no mistake, though: like all good lines, I stole it fair and square.
Jaibones on December 15, 2006 at 12:12 PM
Bottom line with liberals is always, always, always power. The politics of pull and influence determine their actions and motives. If someone runs a major non-union business, that hurts their power potential, so it is evil in their eyes.
About the quantity of Chinese products at WalMart, I’ve written them myself that they should try to keep more money in this country. But it is the buyer that drives the market, and WalMart will respond as soon as people quit buying the products they don’t want to see sold there. Not before. That’s how an unobstructed marketplace functions.
Unions can’t allow a major chain that ignores them to be successful, because it might lead to more of the same, and eventually people will notice that unions do nothing of value any longer. Again, loss of power is evil to those who have it.
The arguments made in the video are all strawmen. I would be less offended by the “preacher” (scare quotes for any pastor who allows their pulpit to be used by power-mongers) if he argued against WalMart for imported products, or how their existence has forced smaller-scale, local businesses out. Those at least are valid points.

VikingGoneWild on December 15, 2006 at 12:48 PM
One more thing. “Pastor” Phelps opens by quoting Luke 6:31, but I wonder how well acquainted he is with John 10…
The hireling is the “pastor”; the wolf is the union who pays the hireling to do their bidding.
Freelancer on December 15, 2006 at 12:51 PM
Of course Jesus would shop there. They have a magnificent sandal selection.
Trooper on December 15, 2006 at 1:13 PM
I am one conservative that hates Walmart’s business practices. I am more than happy to shop elsewhere and pay more. I don’t know what Jesus would do. I am also a person who looks to see where something is made, and if I can buy a product made in America, I gladly pay 3 times more than the version right beside it, that was made in China.
I would rather keep my neighbor employed than my enemies,
no matter how cheap they will sell something.
Gooch on December 15, 2006 at 4:11 PM
You know, the Apostles were non-union - even Matthew, who was a tax collector.

honora, you’re a funny lady.
Hundreds of thousands of liberals (especially the poor/modest) shop and work at Wal-Mart.
