Things White People Like
« on: June 21, 2008, 03:45:27 PM »
I just saw this website. http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/full-list-of-stuff-white-people-like/  If you read the entries and just replace "white people" with "liberals" it is both hilarious and scary accurate.  Entries include things such as the Toyota Prius, Apple products, hating corporations(except Apple), indie movies, music as obscure as possible, and Whole Foods.

This was covered here sometime back.

BTW, the CEO of Whole Foods is a Republican of the libertarian type, who supports 2A and has made speeches about how liberal philsophy is "morally bankrupt" and how their misguidedness installed the 20th century's worst dictators.

"#81 Graduate School:  The second path involves becoming a professor, moving to a small town and telling everyone how they are awful and uncultured."

I laughed out loud for 3 solid minutes. grin

I do not smoke pot, wear Wookie suits, live in my mom's basement, collect unemployment checks or eat Cheetoes, therefore I am not a Ron Paul voter.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

His keynotes are out on the web. He admits that he was, when young, a liberal, but realized how selfish they were when he started trying to actually make a miniscule profit in his first grocery co-op, and they turned on him and got vicious for daring to work hard for profit. And that he rejected their worldview as unworkable.

I admire when people do that.

You mean he changed his tune when his own world view became unworkable for his new found success. LOL
While I share most of his "new" views. I am not ready to cannonize him just yet.

Uh, Nope.  Take the time to read of how he tried to make it "work" using liberal/socialist ideals and how it failed miserably, then when he embraced the capitalist/free market ideal it became successful, not just for him, but also his employees, vendors, suppliers and customers.  Some of us just read Adam Smith, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman.

I read your post. And, I agree with his conclusion. So does anyone else who has watched communist and socialist economies fail one after another. Nothing new to see there. My point is that he was likely dedicated to his socialist ideals until he saw that he could be a successful and albeit wealthy capitalist.

Jumping on the gravy train does not make him worthy of any special celebration. So, he had to say good bye to his old social cohorts. That is just like when successful people move out of there old low income neighborhoods to the gated countryclubs. Mooooovin' on up................... I glad he understands that capitalism is a better business model. But, as I said, it certainly does not make him anything special for finally figuring that out.

I will say his stores are darn nice. We have some local organic stores around here that have better prices though.

oh, and +1 for me on MAYO. It makes an otherwise dry sandwich just dreamy.  Thumbs down on miracle whip!  booo

Not when you look at the fat content of mayonnaise, it's not.

Mayo is the way to make any healthy sandwich into a cardiologist special.

Doesn't change the fact that Miracle Whip is awful ... er ... "an acquired taste."  As much as I like mayo, I'd rather have a sandwich dry or better yet with another condiment that doesn't suck than with Miracle Whip.
