True fact
ARodney said, 5 months ago
Not true, you don’t have to join the union. You DO have to pay for that portion of union dues that covers negotiation with employers for better wages and working conditions, just as if you live in a state you have to pay for the schools and highways. It’s amazing how conservatives are so against deadbeat immigrants (who work much harder than most native-born Americans) yet stand up for deadbeats in the workplace and on health insurance as though not paying for services you receive is the highest form of patriotism. .

I think the point of the comic was to show how willing liberals are at using violence to “persuade” the other side to their viewpoint. Here is a link of a video captured (that is likely going viral) when asked a question about why they oppose right to work (note asking a question, not degrading the position), and then protecting people inside the tent.
So, liberal posters and union supporters: Is this what your beliefs support? Is this what you feel unions should do to protect their positions of authority? Do you support this usage of your union dollars?

Right because as we all know the actions of one or even handful of people show the thinking of all. I guess that means that you think there are rapes that are not legitmate and you think a womans body can shut down the process of her becoming pregnant during a rape. You also believe the world is only 6000 years old and evolution doesn’t exist. Would you like me to fill you in a little more about what you believe and what actions you take? I have plenty…

The only true fact of all this “Union” or no “Union” debacle is this, The unions foremost priority is to perpetuate UNIONS, (and of course live well of the wages of the saps “Convinced to join”) and don’t get me going again with your mouthful of crap regarding “deadbeat immigrants” Hello!! WE ALL ARE IMMIGRANTS TO THIS LAND" Including the “Native Americans” (with all due respect to their claim for having being mistreated and robbed of their lands by the early settlers) so in summation; JUST WAKE UP!!

Once again, violence errupts from the left. Violence and threats of violence. Threats of blood in the streets and civil war.
Perhaps we of the right should arm ourselves in expectation of further assaults by the left on our people. Perhaps if confronted with the threat of a bullet through the brain if they continue the attack they will back down.
If the police cannot or will not do their job in preventing this kind of violence, then what choice do we have? We have the union brownshirt SA troopers attacking. It is time to man the barricades and defend ourselves or they will eventually begin killing us.
I for one, will defend myself and those I am with to the full extent of legally carried Sig Sauer P-226 9mm.

Ah the old union/mafioso stereotype. Bad cartoon and even worse new law in Michigan. A sad day for all workers. Oh and as a side note, I don’t think people should be getting violent, but cmon who doesn’t want to beat the crap out of Steven Crowder?? (I’m joking in case any Fox News people want to take that out of context as well-violence is bad!)

Thanks for the funny video. This young guy provokes a bunch of angry senior citizens and gets beat up by them. Idiot boy got what he wanted, you can tell by his smug smile at the end. Thanks Mr Crowder for proving you are a wimp and a jerk.

What in the world was a COMEDIAN doing challenging the working men? Is a working man’s livelihood a joke to conservatives?

@ARodney
It’s as if a business NEEDS a union to tell them what their workers are worth. How do so many other businesses make it without mafia demand tactics and threats of strikes every year or 2?

@Ms. Ima
Easily. They make it by underpaying their workers and reaping a bigger profit by breaking the backs of their work force, and hiring cheaper and cheaper labour. That was a really stupid question.

Ghost Towns! The result of Union Greed. Michigan cannot afford anymore Ghost Towns.

A little perspective please.
Think back to the response of big business to those attempting to form unions decades ago in Detroit.

The unions need to go. Chrysler employees caught on tape smoking dope & guzzling booze on their lunch hours were fired two years ago. The union forced the company to hire them back a week ago or so. Now, do you REALLY want someone who is high & drunk making your next car? I don’t.
