“There will be blood,” State Representative Douglas Geiss threatened from the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives today as the body debated legislation that would make Michigan the nation’s 24th right to work state.
“I really wish we had not gone here,” Geiss continued. “It is the leadership in this house that has led us here. The same leadership that tried to throw a bomb right on election day, leading to a member switching parties, and came in at the 11th hour with a gotcha bill. For that, I do not see solace, I do not see peace.”
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder had previously said he had no interest in signing right to work legislation this term, but that has changed as unions have made it increasingly more difficult to govern the state. The Detroit Free Press‘ Tom Walsh explains:
Public employee unions opposed Snyder’s moves to put more teeth into emergency manager laws that would enable swifter action to rescue cities and school districts that bungled themselves into insolvency.
In Detroit, Mayor Dave Bing and a spineless City Council were stonewalled by employee unions at every turn, slow-walking needed reforms and cost-cutting while the city burned through cash at a frightening rate.
As a result, Snyder’s patient attempt to help fix Detroit via consent agreement instead of imposing an emergency manager has failed.
To top it off, Snyder found himself having to fight off Proposal 2, the ill-advised November ballot attempt to stuff a bag of goodies for organized labor into the Michigan Constitution.
Michigan has both the highest unionization and unemployment rates in the Midwest. You can watch the House debate live here.
“I have found that black conservatives are among the most intelligent, dedicated and knowledgable of all conservatives.”
I had occasion a couple of years ago to have lunch with Ward Connerly, the author of “Creating Equal,” the book he wrote about his efforts at ending affirmative action in California’s Institutions of Higher Learning. He was one of seven children born into a sharecropper family in Alabama. I just marveled at what he had accomplished in his life. We need many, many more Ward Connerly’s and Allen West’s. They need to be able to lead their people to better lives, instead of the scum like Jackson and Sharpton who use the “phoney reverend” bit to BS their people.

What this Democrat politician has just done was give the union members in that state permission to attack those who are in favor of the Right to Work law . Look for houses to be firebombed , wives & kids harassed/beaten by union members & the democrat party will defend the violence. The proper response is the judicious use of lethal force by those trying to hurt/kill you & yours.
They try to claim they are empowered, but they are not. They only stole the WH, they did not win the state. They need to also learn that elections have consequences.
They lost, they can live with it as we have to, or commit crimes.
I have been stating since 11/7 that we should now be living, thinking, and behaving within the reality that we are under the rule illegitimate tyranny.

Shoot them if you feel threatened.
I agree with you Windflier. Not all Southerners like me are inbred redneck white trash either. It’s a stereotype of Southerners that was started after the war of Northern Aggression. :-)
Watching these vids of greedy union scum going postal, they all look white to me. I wish more Black people would notice that conspicuous fact.
I’d follow Charles Payne into battle any day. I’d even support him for president.
And I would agree with you whole heartedly!:)
It is never enough with these commies. They wipe us out in November which affects ObamaCare, Supreme Court, taxes. Our side sucks it up and tries to move on best we can. These guys lose one piddling issue and they’re threatening violence. The more they win the more extreme they get.
This guy is basically trying to incite a mob to violence and should be disciplined and/or arrested.
I'll say it again -- the paint job is irrelevant. It's what's under the hood that counts.
Yes , well the fact is that these Unmion thugs know something they did not know before, and that is that they NEED Obamas help to save them, and Unions will now work to increase fascist methods to more totalitarian control and violence.
Watch for more fascist methodology from the feds and the Unions in Michigan.This wuill accelerate the fall of government into fascism, even though the Unions lost the battle, the war is far from over.
