Que Malparido

Twas reading a newspaper account of the proposed boycott of Whole Foods, because of the editorial written by its CEO, John Mackey, in the Wall Street Journal last week. He took the position that socialists have no right to tell the rest of us how to spend our money. He says that health care is not a God-given right and he proposed alternative solutions to the one the Democratic Party has on the table.

You would have thought that someone plucked Pelosi’s short hairs out on national television by the uproar in Liberaldom. Then, a little later, I saw and listened to the loon leading the boycott against Whole Foods, because the CEO dared to have an opinion that didn’t conform with that of the wealthy Democratic snobs who shop there, buying organic cauliflower for $7 a head and free range chicken for $8 a pound.

I occassionally patronize Whole Foods and buy a few things nobody else sells. For the most part, the stores are clean, well organized, and the the lines aren’t long. But I learned a long time ago that if you shopped there on a regular basis, you were going to have to give something up, in order to do it. Like a friend said a few years back, “I could shop at Whole Foods, or send my daughter to a good school.” Organic, though very chic, is not cheap. It reminded me of the time Obama told the good people of Iowa that it was hard to get good arugula. To which most Iowans responded, “WTF is arugula?” Only big city foodies and Chicago con men seem to know.

So this old time communist, I mean the guy leading the boycott, wants Mackey to let his people hand out boycott literature on the premises, to which I say, in my best French, “Kissamus my tucchus.”

You wanna leaflet my store? Take it off the property. Or take your fascist derriere to jail.

Less than two years ago, Pelosi defended the outrageous actions of Code Pink in San Fransisco by saying, “I like rabblerousers. They’re good for America.” Now, the new Queen of Mean calls protesters “astroturf” and “un-American.” This Whole Foods boycott leader is cut from the same cloth. They are only for free speech when you agree with THEM.

The good news in all this is that the people are waking up from the slumber that produced victory for a neighborhood canker sore that didn’t have anything going for him other than a silken voice and a good script. Well Barry, as Guns and Roses so eloquently put it years ago, “Welcome to the Jungle.” The more “splaining” Barry does on health care, the angrier people get. And there is no getting around those weekly polls, which Team Obama previously reveled in, week in, week out. The numbers for Barry and company are in a nosedive and a poll today showed that Harry “The Poppinjay” Reid is running behind both Republican candidates in Nevada.

But it isn’t over. The Democrats will surely add a Trojan Horse to this debate, before it ends.

Every day, I read things I disagree with. Every day, I listen to things I disagree with. To organize a boycott of a food store because the CEO has an alternative opinion is absolutely ludicrous. Not only did he have an opinion, he offered solutions to the problem, things his company is doing right now to alleviate costs. He is someone who has built something, in this case a multimillion dollar grocery store. Who 25,000 jackanapes want to ruin. You have to love liberals. Only they seek to destroy what pays the bills, and in this case, the health insurance, of those who work there.

Here’s what I suggest. If they succeed in ruining the company…which is possible…then, they should be forced to pay the salaries and health insurance for those from whom they took the jobs. (Their names are all on the internet petition…but watch how fast they would try to keep it private and site their first ammendment rights.) Here’s a better idea. Boycott liberals and, of course, honk if you’re paying their mortgage.

If you’re still with me, you know it’s time for me to take my evening dosage of my Powerhouse Omega Formula, which helps to soothe and calm the nerves after a good rant. It also helps clear the passageways to the brain, which is why more liberals should take it to begin with and at a much higher dosage than the rest of us.
