The UAW president (Bob King) is trying to rewrite history by blaming their prop 2 power grab attempt on RTW in Michigan despite the fact its exactly opposite. (They’re also blaming Dick DeVos and the Koch brothers.)

In 2011, 11.8 percent of all workers were union. That dropped to 11.3 percent in 2012.”
Imagine how much lower those percentages would be if government workers weren't allowed to form unions.

To discover your secret porn star name, take the name of your child hood pet and the name of the street where you grew up. If you grew up on a numbered street, choose the one close to you.

Unions should not be permitted in any job that is paid with taxpayer money. If they want to get together to negotiate contracts they should pool their money and hire a lawyer or other negotiator, or if they want a union they should write out a check each week and pay their dues etc themselves.

Trasposing "cause" and "effect" has become a standard tactic of liberals, especially when they are losing the argument and haven't got a leg to stand on.

I wish I had a complete list of cases in which they've done this.

One I recall for sure is this: "New York State continues to build new prisons even though crime is down." There's a New York Times reporter (Nicholas Kristoff, maybe?) who trots this editorial position out every year or so, disguising it as a news story.

The fact that putting more people in prison is resulting in a dimunition of crime is too painful for his little brain to contemplate, so he switches cause and effect and makes it sound like an irrational policy undertaken by a society gone mad.

Its kind of like claiming “white flight” wrecked Detroit when the reality is that the wrecking of Detroit drove the flight.

The plan was to win Barry a second term and then shove Card Check up our behinds via the back door.

Unfortunately for the union bosses, the Appeals ruling that his NRLB recess appointments were invalid has put a severe kink in those plans.
