I don't need to bring anything over.  You can guess their general sentiments.

Yeah, I was wondering.

Hasn't Whole Foods been a primitive-endorsed business for the longest time?

Damn! Wish I had one here...I'd shop there all the time, just because of this. All I have is Trader Joe's (I do go every couple of weeks) but would love to have a place to get paleo foods that was anti 0bamacare.

He was saying the same thing back then regarding Obamacare in the WSJ. It caused a small uproar from the DUmmies who promptly forgot it in a haze of weed and Cheetos dust.

From what I've read he's pretty libertarian.

This kinda shocked me. It's the same level of shock I would have if like MSNBC went conservative.

I don't like Whole Foods cause of all the hippies. I usually mock them when I have to go. They're filled with them down here in FL.

Actually, they have been saying this since then.

And point of correction, Whole Foods--it's isn't "like fascism"...it IS fascism.

I stopped in a few weeks ago, and they had Jack Mackey's new book, "Conscious Capitalism" all over the place.  Selling for $27, with x amount of proceeds going to a charity that I can't recall.  I was intrigued, but found out I could buy the book for $9 or so on Amazon.  I will order it through there.  I am sure Mr. Mackey will approve.   :-)

I hope he finally pisses off the pretentious granola ones so that when I shop there I am not inundated with them.  It would vastly improve my shopping experience. 

I go there probably once every other month, when I need something special or they have a good deal on something.

A massive, pointless thread.  People saying "I only buy flaxseed oil and Ezekial bread there.  No more."   :lmao:

You know, there are a lot of DUmmies saying "I stopped shopping there way back when, when he first criticized Obamacare."  "Me too" etc.

Guess what DUmmies?  They're still in business.  Your boycotts are useless.  They simply turn into buycotts.

We all know DUmmies are normally pretty stupid but even they have to know that Obamacare is bad for this country and accomplishes exactly the opposite of what they wanted with their beloved one payer system.  The insurance companies are making more money as mandated by the government and Obamacare.

What's stupid is the fact that, no matter what, they continue to profess how much they love Obamacare when we know even the smarter DUmmies (if there is such a thing) know it's bad and it's costing them more money.

Talk about sheep.   :sheep:

Not entirely, most of them didn't think it would work either, they just viewed it as the closest they were going to get to national health care at government expense, like England, which they call 'Single payer' so they can leave out the words 'National' and 'Government' when they talk about it.  What Obamacare does look like it will do it destroy the existing system and leave a wildly-inadequate and unfunded government one in its place, leaving us with a choice of trying to rebuild the old system from scratch or going the rest of the way to our own massive NHS bureaucracy.  They're betting the second of the two will be the path of least resistance, and they may be right.  On the other hand, after Obama finishes bankrupting the country and there isn't any more available money to do that move to single-payer, they may just be wrong, too.
