Allen West is a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel,?former congressman from the state of Florida,? and a tea party political commentator, and head of the think tank National Center for Policy Analysis.
Recently he was on a shopping trip with his daughter visiting his favorite American company, Walmart.
Some of you may know of Walmart, it’s a company that sells mostly American made products, it loves and cares for all of their employees, pays them a very good salary, and is always at forefront of social justice issues. They also always pay their propaganda writers right on time at the end of the month, cha-ching!
So Allen West is strolling through Walmart with his daughter, and he notices a sign in one of the check out lanes that reads “No Alcohol Products In This Lane.” He also notices that the man working the register has a Muslim sounding name. Detective West quickly puts 2 and 2 together and comes up with Sharia Law.
He rants about his experience in a post titled “Sharia Law Comes To Walmart?” He writes about how he noticed the employee in the non-alcholic checkout line was probably Muslim saying,
“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.'”
Yeah apparently Mr. West needs to work on those “inquisitive” skills just a little bit harder. Had Mr. West done 2 minutes worth of fact checking; which could include asking a manager, calling corporate, asking an employee, or just asking google he would have discovered that in certain areas it’s illegal for any person under 21 to sell alcohol to the public. That’s why they had the non-alcohol lane.
Allen rants in his article on how Christians are being forced to accommodate Muslims, and a bunch of other blathering nonsense along those lines. Here’s a fun fact folks most laws restricting alcohol in the United States were written to accommodate Christians who lobbied for those laws. In Texas I can’t buy liqeur after 9pm and I can’t buy any alcohol before 12pm on Sundays.
I’ll be holding my breath for Mr. West to write a scathing editorial on that injustice imposed on his fellow Americans by religious zealots.
Here’s a video by the Young Turks on this story.
