Many people on the left are up in arms over the recent Wall Street Journal op-ed by Whole Foods CEO John Mackey. In this article, Mackey states he is against government run health care. He gives his own ideas for reforming the current health care system.

HOW DARE HE!! How dare he voice his opinion in this country. How dare he not just criticize but actually offer solutions. What a traitor! Isn't he aware that many liberals shop at his store?
It is wonderful to see these liberals, who claim to be tolerant people, getting together and boycotting a business solely for the CEO's political stand. I love to see them using their first amendment right to trump another's first amendment right.
Enough with the sarcasm. In my opinion, the people boycotting Whole Foods are in desperate need of love and affection. They need to feel like they belong in this world. It is truly pathetic to boycott a business for a CEO's legitimate political belief.
John Mackey didn't say Obama is not a citizen of the U.S. or call for terrorist attacks against the government. HE SIMPLY VOICED HIS OPINION in a professional manner.
I can't believe what goes through people's heads. The people on the left calling citizens who are against the Democrat health care plan "teabaggers" are among the same individuals calling for this boycott. I guess it is cool to voice your opinion, but only if it falls into the narrow band of what is considered acceptable by the progressives.
If you truly want a progressive movement to work in America, you need to stop being idiots. Grow up and deal with the issues at hand. Present your views in a professional manner. Be tolerant of other people's ideas since that is one of the claims to being a "liberal".
If you fail to do that, you are no better than the "birthers" or the town hall disrupters that you so vehemently hate.
