Allen West Thinks He Found Creeping 'Sharia Law' In Wal-Mart Booze Sales

It's creeping into society. Watch out!

Talking Points Memo and Media Matters. I want to take the story seriously but can't.

"The blog post was originally titled "Sharia law comes to Walmart?", according to a screenshot posted by Media Matters. But at some point after it was published, the post was updated with an editor's note that invalidated the premise."

It's hard to take this entire board serious anymore.

Okay...how about directly from Allen's blog then?

Quote:There was a young man doing the checkout and another Walmart employee came over and put up a sign, “No alcohol products in this lane.” So being the inquisitive fella I am, I used my additional set of eyes — glasses — to see the young checkout man’s name. Let me just say it was NOT “Steve.”

I pointed the sign out to Aubrey and her response was a simple question, how is it that this Muslim employee could refuse service to customers based on his religious beliefs, but Christians are being forced to participate in specific events contrary to their religious beliefs?

Boy howdy, that is one astute young lady.

Imagine that, this employee at Walmart refused to just scan a bottle or container of an alcoholic beverage — and that is acceptable. A Christian business owner declines to participate or provide service to a specific event — a gay wedding — which contradicts their faith, and the State crushes them.

EDITOR’S UPDATE: We spoke to the Walmart store, and apparently employees under 21 years old are prohibited from selling cigarettes and alcohol.

Thanks. Would've been easier to post the source instead of some ineptly written blog.

Dude, my OP contained an article with direct links to all the stuff above. That's normally what TPM and MM always do.

On this? Yes...he is an idiot. Looks like Alan might be looking for muzzies under rocks.

Mr West was an accidental Congressman. I had a second home in his district. Once the voters figured out what he was, he had no hope of getting reelected in his district or even in the cherrypicked district he carpetbagged to. I place him in the Steve Stockman category (at least Stockman got elected twice).

After 2010, I would chuckle at the West nutjobs out on Oakland Park holding up West signs trying to support his tenure in Congress. I would just smile and say to myself "it sure is hot outside today...those guys are wasting their time - no one in this part of Broward is going to vote for West again - we all know what he is now".

As I said in the Obama thread, do we really need "flaming idiot" comments? I don't think so.

Why is there even an Alan West thread? The guy is a non-player in the political scene.

Move on Red.

Silly Alan ... we all know they live in caves.

That is pretty much standard procedure anywhere. now most stores will change out a person over 21 to finish out the transaction then return the under aged clerk back to the register .

This is more of a creeping Sharia Law thread than an Allen West thread.

But Allen West is still a fairly frequent guest on Fox 'news'. He was on Greta in April.
