The Democrats and their union allies are making threats and calling on the President Obama to punish Michigan if it passes the “right to work” law.
The ever wonderful (union bought and paid for) Harry Reid weighs in.
Who knew that [forcing union dues on those who don’t want to join a union] is a matter of free speech, and that only unions stand between you and a nurse who will kill you.

Michael Moore is revolting.
good his workers could sue the fat bastard
When was the lst time that tub o’ lard made a movie?
Isn’t this an empty threat, especially since he lives on the UWS in Manhattan?
I don’t think Michael Moore realizes that if he gets the revolt he pretends to crave, the end result is bags of Michael Moore jerky, packages of Michael Moore sausages, and a mess of Michael Moore soaps.
And those are brand names. They’re descriptions.
Michael Moore soap seems like an oxymoron.
A really creepy oxymoron.

You forgot the Michael Moore sofa cover.
Something very familiar about that map. If only it were red and blue…

“Let us work for you, we’ll protest constantly and demand too much!”
…Yeah. That’s an environment small businessmen will flock to. Huge, “Too Big To Fail” corps on the other hand…
Michigan Teachers Abandon Children to Protest Right-to-Work Law
I don’t care who you are, that right there is funny.
Michael Moore would make a heck of a lot of soap.
Michigan Teachers Abandon Children to Protest Right-to-Work Law
If test scores are to be believed, those teachers abandoned the kids a long time ago.
I put more links at this comment. The second one, this, is about the training. Done by this “lady”.

“Right to work” push guarantees all out war in Michigan
The Democrats, like the Islamists, have been at war with us for years, most on the right have bben/are still in denial. maybe this will change that for some.

If Not Boehner, Then Who? We Have Options
From the article linked by geoffb:
Katie Oppenheim, the head of a union local that represents 4,500 nurses at University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor, said workers whose pay and benefits are negotiated by a union should pay dues.
She believes her members appreciate the fruits of collective bargaining and will keep paying. But she acknowledged “the reality that people like things for free.”
Do tell.
It saddens me to see the Washington Post engaging in violent rhetoric against simple folk who just want to go to work without having to kick back a portion of the meagre paycheck to some shop steward.
What is this, the 1950s?

McCarthyism? GOP Source Says Majority Whip Drafted Boehner Purge List
The first article that I linked was in my local (and left leaning) Sunday paper and I was stunned by things like the subheadline.
And some of the piece.
Truth and in the lead paragraphs.
Then there was this later on.

The Union ‘Free-Rider Problem’ Myth in Right-to-Work Debate
The union is the one truly taking advantage of the collective bargaining arrangement
Solidarity, man.
Democracy is only ok when you’re voting democrat or for something democrats want.
And maybe its because I’m not in Michigan but are Republicans actually bothering to explain why Obama is full of crap about these unions issues?
Virg Bernero ( Lansing Mayor) was on the radio explaining that unions are the ultimate in Democracy. That 51% of the employees vote for the union so everyone must go along. Duh.
When your political party loses a national election, you still have to pay your federal taxes. It’s the same thing, he explained.
And yes, I wanted to shoot my radio.
And also, if unions lose this power, we’re going to have child labor and (according to Geoffry Feiger) people will work w/o paychecks.
The left is losing it’s shit.
I also heard (on the radio) one union person claiming that the “workers of the world” would not put up with this.
I have to work today, so I’m going to miss the
funfreak out.The left is always losing it’s shit. They’re like kids trying to tantrum their way to what they want because they know Mommy doesn’t want to be mean.
And Daddy moved to New Zealand.
The UAW is a straight-up criminal organization, just like the Longshoremen. They may be a little more subtle, hardly ever threatening people with baseball bats and such, but they have a lot more scalps in their nad collection.
