Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for the Left, it
now turns out that John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, is a crazed
ignorant Neanderthal who doesn't believe in sustainable
development or climate change!
Wails change.org (which believes only in change in a liberal
direction):
Whole Foods Market has long dominated the natural and organic
food scene, and most liberals who shop there believe they're
putting their money where their mouth is. But the grocery's
CEO, John Mackey, has used the bully pulpit the store's success
has provided to oppose first labor organizing, then health care
reform, and now to deny human-caused climate change.Mackey's Wall Street Journal
op-ed eschewing health care reform made waves this summer,
spurring
protests and a Facebook
group calling for a boycott. But now Mackey has gone a step
further,
telling the New Yorker that he thinks the science
on climate change is still unsettled.Mackey, a libertarian, echoes a familiar conservative talking
point when says he worries that climate "hysteria" will lead
the government "to raise taxes and increase regulation, and in
turn lower our standard of living and lead to an increase in
poverty." But he goes even further, hypothesizing that warm
temperatures cause prosperity — instead of, you know,
the opposite.
How can someone who sells organic food have an independent mind
and believe differently than the liberal conventional
wisdom? The horror! It's time for a boycott!
