Minutes before Michigan Governor Snyder signed the 'Right-To-Work' bill into law...

... Teamsters head Jimmy Hoffa appeared on CNN, as seen in the clip below, warning that:

"This is just the first round of a battle that's going to divide this state. We're going to have a civil war,"

...as the bill to weaken unions' power is passed. If Hoffa is right, look for Michigan GDP to soar: after all it is one of the more Keynesian states in the union.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has signed right-to-work legislation,

Buy American as long as its not from these overpaid, brainless thugs. Keep the war talk going Jimmy and you’ll see Honda, Toyota, and BMW sales skyrocket.

The Democrat party of Michigan basically gave its blessing to any violence carried out by union members in that state. Look for an American reenactment of Krystalnacht in that state. However the difference will be that this time the target of the violence can shoot back. Any Michigan Freepers make your plans & preparations accordingly.

We have, the conservatives of Michigan are heavily armed, and very proficient in the use of small arms.

I have a personal note for Jimmy Hoffa:

I was forced to belong to the Teasters Union when I worked in the offices of a major grocery chain in Los Angeles, many years ago.

During that time, YOUR illustrious FATHER was on trial for STEALING our union pension money- which we paid into every paycheck.

All Teamster Union members were assessed an extra $1 a month on top of our union dues——to help pay for the legal fees of your FATHER!!!

Your FATHER was a thief—a bully—and an out and out criminal. That job was in the 60’s, and I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.

I am willing to bet that other Teamster members have also not forgotten about that travesty.

Go ahead, Jimmy Jr—Make My Day!!!

I think it’s been over 25 years since I’ve had a union built automobile. I’m driving a TN built Toyota Camry. I am Detroit born and raised.

I’d suggest right to work legislation in WA State, but heads of my local Republican Party would explode. The local officers are all either union members or wives of union members, including RR Workers Union, teamsters, Electrical Workers and I am not sure of the fourth member.

I discussed putting limits on government worker unions with state party chairman and he told me that if I thought it was so important that I should make a proposal at the convention myself. He said that others were talking about the same thing but the initiative would not come from the Republican Party.

The war is over and we won..

We are continuously losing manufacturing and jobs. We owe Japan and Germany nothing.

I think people are capable of waking up

I see little evidence. US consumers began supporting foreign owned manufacturers in the 60's and have increasingly done so at an alarming rate in the last 20 years. Who will ever awaken the Obamabots and supporters of cheap imported crap and foreign owned manufacturers?

Exactly.My last UAW made product was a 1990 Olds.

My last UAW car was Pinto. I actually loved that car; everybody did.
Nothing but Hondas and Toyotas since then.

Was I ahead of the curve?

I hope so. There are a helluva lot more of them, American haters, than there are Americans.

...and that's just in the U.S.

It certainly has become apparent in the last 5 years.

You can do as you please.

You can be part of the solution or continue to be part of the problem. I'm an American. I live and work in America and I want what is best for Americans and America. I support local businesses because they are my neighbors and part of the community. I support in state businesses because I make my home and living in this state. Without a strong national economy and manufacturing sector, we will see a continuous deterioration of our cities, states and country. Is that what you want, or is it that you just don't care?

I want the best bang for my buck... Supporting companies that employee UAW thugs that support RATS will not get my buck.. In my area the local business doesn’t have what I need so I’ll go online or Walmart to get it..

Why would Homeland Security care? Most are probably on the take from the unions.

They don't need to be "on the take" They're union thugs too.

Not every union member is a hug.

I want the best bang for my buck.

What good will it do you when the country collapses?
