A major controversy is brewing on the cultural left. John Mackey, Founder & CEO of Whole Foods Grocery Store chain, a darling of cultural liberals from Vermont to Seattle to the Bay Area, has come out strongly against Obama Care. In an editorial today in the Wall Street Journal Mackey wrote, in “The Whole Foods Alternative to Obama Care”:

With a projected $1.8 trillion deficit for 2009, several trillions more in deficits projected over the next decade, and with both Medicare and Social Security entitlement spending about to ratchet up several notches over the next 15 years as Baby Boomers become eligible for both, we are rapidly running out of other people’s money. These deficits are simply not sustainable. They are either going to result in unprecedented new taxes and inflation, or they will bankrupt us.

Mackey even had the audacity to quote one of the most hated figures among liberals:

“The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” — Lady Margaret Thatcher

ABC News reports that Mackey’s pro-free market comments have sparked a boycott.

Babalu Blog adds what has to be the definitive commentary to the subject:

I am looking forward to this boycott and I sincerely hope it begins soon and lasts for a very long time. If I never have to stand in line behind another scruffily dressed, dread-locked, protein deficient skinny hippie chick with hairy armpits and a distinctive odor, it would be too soon.
