In Support of Whole Foods

I don't regularly shop at Whole Foods. It's too expensive. Sure they have great cheeses and wines and cuts of meat. And I have bought their shushi before. Their desserts... eh. Not enough flavor. But most of all the place is grossly overpriced. But hey- you go there if you want. Free country, right?

Wrong.

See, in the new post-racial, post-partisan Age of Obama, your opinion can cost you your job. Or your Whole Foods. That is what John Mackey, the CEO and co-founder of WF found out when he dared, DARED author an opinion that differed from King Barry. And in the Wall Street Journal of all places!!! And we KNOW that Wall Street is responsible for the mess we are in- them and their greed...

Anyway- Mackey's first mistake: quoting Margaret Thatcher. Though your average liberal cannot tell you why they dislike Dame Thatcher, they know she is bad. Very bad. Like Reagan. And the Pope. Yuck. (They also cannot tell you why the revere Che Guevara... but his tee shirts are so fashionable, does it really matter?)

So the Logan Circle Whole Foods had some protestors. Just play the clip and listen to the "sultans of smart" as they issue their reasons for the picket lines. Main reason: they are being paid? No. Of course not! It's because Mr. Mackey disagrees with Obama and the DNC party line. Dissenters will not be tolerated.

It used to be the highest form of patriotism. I guess that's only if you speak it and not publish it...
