Fishy rumors posters

Who is John Galt?
Only if that re-industrialization includes Americans realizing that the genie is out of the bottle and we live in a global economy now, and they can't demand wages and benefits that exceed those of competitors, unless they provide more than those competitors. And Americans have to realize that when competitors are getting advanced degrees in science and math while Americans prefer a quickie degree and American Idol, they can't expect they will provide a more attractive product to the global market.
Ergo, Americans had better accept the idea of a much lower standard of living unless they want to change their behavior and attitude.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the CEO switched parties over this?!
Thanks for posting that... I shop their too. Their vitamins are very affordable and with a great selection. I also love the high quality food they sell. I have a pro life bumper sticker on my car and I’m sure I get the dirty looks in the parking lot. Oh well.
Thanks for the link.
I hear ya, but Robin's legit. She's a CA mental health professional and recently woke up. Regular contributor at American Thinker.
If the liberals and aged hippies abandon Whole Fools...Er, I ment Foods, then who will shop there?
+++++++++++++++++
I say we make up the gap for a few months at least - just to spoil their little boycott...foo(s)!
Have to love it when Liberals attack their own!
++++++++++++
And just for speaking their mind! Wow, only group speak, brain dead need apply for today’s ‘progressive’ movement. What a JOKE and what fools they really act and sound like.
MoveOn people are so despicable. I wonder what they think they’re going to get out of this.
++++++++++++++++
If this fails or succeeds, they’ve again painted themselves into the corner of being against free speech (as with the Town Halls), and again in a VERY PUBLIC and highly scrutinized fashion.
Can there be a dumber tactic?
This man gave 8 alternative steps to Obamacare. Is such an illegal conversation among the Obama cult?
Just out of curiosity, I took at look at Mackey’s political contributions to see where his Whole Food dollars are going....
http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=TX&last=Mackey&first=john
He donated to Libertarian Harry Brown’s campaign in 1996, 1999, and 2000. He dontated $4,000 to the Libertarian Party in 2000. Otherwise there is not a lot of info and no contributions noted after 2000.
What it means is that the nationalization of health care is more important to them than everything else combined. “By whatever means necessary” is their terminology.
+++++++++++++++
imho - they are going to lose the government (Praise God!) and even the ‘cool’ quotient of those that voted for Obama and opposed Bush. It is getting downright embarassing, imho, to actually publicly support this government health care debacle, to support what bammy and the other socialists in Congress are now saying is their Waterloo.
I work with a number of Obamaheads - and let me tell you, none of them are talking about Obama currently, or wearing their Obama t-shirts and some of them, to me personally, are saying that they think he’s an idiot. So quickly, the younger set is going to be ‘embarassed’ to support such a ‘loser’ and that’s how it goes with them (that will work to our favor now, but perhaps quickly against us in the not too distant future.) So our effort with the youth is to educate them on the efficacy of Conservative principles - and do so with a ‘cool’-ness that they respect. Some of our more well spoken conservatives - Hannity, Beck, to some degree Sarah Palin, etc., do that pretty well.
This battle has become, due to hard work and fearlessness (LEARN from this RNC and Pubbie leaders), a WIN WIN for this nation.
Mackey is far from being one of their own. He is a Libertarian, who happens to own a business that Liberals are attracted to. And he has made a fortune at it. They should of boycotted him long ago for being a capitalist.
++++++++++++++
They should boycott this nation, and leave us, as we’re a capatilist nation, with capitalist ROOTS through and through!! That would be GREAT! :)
Maybe you're a thespian, but I don't agree with the deceit part. I'm tired of deceit.
You know, I could understand boycotting a business for a good cause, but come on - liberals boycotting a liberal business for saying something that is against Obama Care...please...
++++++++++++
And not just against Obamacare, but with 8, EIGHT, alternative steps...
You’re not not allowed to think and be a progressive any more...
Good to know!
I’ve never been in any of their stores but just looked online and my next trip to Columbus I will be stopping at the one in Upper Arlington.
Whole foods is an excellent company!
Actually more of their customers are conservatives than libs.
Whole Foods is about as non-liberal as you can get!
John Mackey is about as far right as you can get!
The store I go to is hardly a bastion for liberals, mostly Republican territory. I've been shopping there for 15 yrs and will continue to do so. I also sent an email to John Mackey expressing my support.
