“There Will Be Blood”: Union Violence in the Age of Obama
Michelle Malkin ^ | 12/13/2012 | Michelle Malkin

Not so many moons ago, President Obama urged us all to “make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds.” He Who Heals advocated “a more civil and honest public discourse” in the wake of the January 2011 Tucson massacre. As usual, though, the White House has granted Big Labor bullies a permanent waiver from the lofty edicts it issues to everyone else.

This week, menacing union goons unleashed threats, profanity and punches in Michigan, which is now poised to become a “right-to-work” state. Obama met the initial outbreak of violence with the same response he’s given to every other union outbreak of violence under his reign: dead silence.
*snip*
As the Michigan House voted inside to approve right-to-work legislation allowing workers to choose whether or not to join/fund unions as a condition of employment, protesters outside the state Capitol ambushed a tented information booth sponsored by the pro-right-to-work state chapter of Americans for Prosperity. Angry union mobsters were filmed cursing and screaming just before the attack.

We should “do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children’s expectations,” Obama lectured just over a year ago from his politeness pulpit. In the age of Obama, it’s Opposite Day 365 days a year.

Me?

I always look for the Union Label. If it is there, I buy something else - even if it was made in China.

I would rather support their Commissars than ours...

When those 0bama-goons smashed that tent and started threatening and beating the women inside, I wish just one would've had Concealed Carry, then we'll talk about whose blood!

Waste hot lead on Pillsbury doughboys and Staypuf marshmallow men?...that's no fun. Bang bang and then what's left but a big mess and watching them blubber their version of events on the View.

If you really want to have fun and see a thousand walruses run, bring some stout swinging arms with some cold steel.

Now, that's got fun written all over it.

That’s an interesting little toy you have there. I bet you could really have some fun with that with the union thugs. Sigh, unfortunately I’m getting old and lazy, so I’ll just have to play with the union thugs using my .45 .

Now that looks like more fun than a baseball bat!

The best way do deal with thugs like those found in Lansing is with melee weapons. Much like what some of my Viking ancestors used.
