The following links are included to illustrate just how stupid, destructive, and plain nasty the far left in our country has become, not to mention completely impervious to logic and common sense.

First, an article in the August 11 2009 edition of the Wall Street Journal by Whole Foods CEO John Mackey:
The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare: Eight things we can do to improve health care without adding to the deficit.

Next, the Wikipedia entry for Whole Foods CEO John Mackey.

Finally, from Kathleen Parker: Now is the time for all good capitalists to shop at Whole Foods

In response, the far left, who apparently make up a sizable portion of the Whole Foods customer base, has gone ballistic. Anti-Whole Foods websites and facebook pages have been set up, boycotts have been organized, and the leftie smear machine  is in full swing on the blogs (which I will not link to on general principal) and sympathetic media. These people are damaging the name of a good man and threatening the livelihood of thousands of Whole Foods employees.

All because the Whole Foods CEO John Mackey had the gall to propose free-market solutions to our current health care situation.

If the above doesn’t finally convince you that the far left in this country is composed primarily of sniveling, whining parasites with nothing but deep hatred for the free market system in which they’re either too lazy, too stupid, or too greedy to compete, and who are utterly incapable of accomplishing anything without enlisting the coercive ‘help’ of the federal government, then nothing will.

As I was writing this, Greta Van Susteren had angry left-wing single-payer advocate and generally unpleasant individual Russell Mokhiber on her show discussing the Whole Foods boycott. In typical leftie fashion, Mokhiber lied through his teeth repeatedly throughout the discussion. Here’s the vid:

In closing, let me pose this simple question: who is the greedy person, he who uses his skills, hard work and determination to accumulate wealth, or he who demands that the government confiscate the wealth of others via taxation to pay for what he will not do for himself?

Update: A Michelle Malkin reader suppplied MM with a flyer being handed out at her local Whole Foods store by UFCW picketers. Read about it here.

My wife is coming by at lunch and we’re going to our local Whole Foods to make a purchase or two. This is not our regular store by a long shot, but we’ll do whatever we can to to support the Whole Foods free-market CEO and his employees, and to counter the leftie nutjob hit squad.
