Save The Planet

Squash a leftist boycott. Andrew Breitbart:

The Democratic leadership – and its friends in the mainstream media – seem determined to brand opposition to the president’s legislative agenda as illegitimate, even racist in origin. Individuals and grass-roots organizations are helping the statists’ cause by advocating boycotts and other means of stifling dissent.

The strategy is clear: Intimidate people from speaking up or from attending public protests by telegraphing that anyone can be made a demon for standing up and exercising basic, constitutional rights.

To call these people hypocrites would be a grave insult to those who fail to live up to their own standards. Liberalism has never been about establishing a universal standard. Liberalism is simply intellectual cover for those wanting to gain political power and increase the size of the state.

For free-speech principles to be reinforced and free-market ideas to win the day, more people are going to have to stand up and be heard.

Mrs. Pelosi and the Whole Foods boycotters are on the wrong side of history.

The way to stand up to them is to go to “tea parties,” raise a ruckus at health care debates and – buy organic garlic, herb fresh goat cheese and three-bean salad with quinoa at your local Whole Foods store.

This time, you really could be saving the planet.

Exactly. Go buy from Whole Foods. Go to Tea Parties. Call your representatives. Make noise. Refuse to be silenced by the thuggery of the left.

(I take exception to the use of the word liberal to describe the left. They are not, in any sense of the word, liberal. They are authoritarian, they are leftist, but they are not liberal.)

Nor do they have any right to do what they are attempting to do to Whole Foods or concerned Americans who choose to speak out in opposition to Obama’s policies, plans and plots. 

Incidentally, the Facebook Whole Foods Boycott page has, according to Breitbart, some 25,000 members. That totals an awe-inspiring 0.008% of the population of the US. Keep that in mind. The left is very good at getting attention from the left-leaning media. It does not mean that their twisted views are a real part of mainstream America. Hold the center against these people and they will lose.
