Pro-Union Activist Threatens the
Michigan Governor: ´We´ll Be at
Your Daughter´s Soccer Game´

Weekly Standard, by Michael Warren

Original Article

Posted By:nhchemist, 12/14/2012 9:51:17 PM

A speaker at a protest against Michigan´s right-to-work legislation said that Republican governor Rick Snyder will "get no rest" from pro-union activists if Snyder signs the bill into law. "Just know one thing, Rick Snyder: You sign that bill, you won´t get no rest," said Rev. Charles Williams II at the Tuesday rally in Lansing, according to Michigan Capitol Confidential. "We´ll meet you on Geddes Road. We´ll be at your daughter´s soccer game. We´ll visit you at your church. We´ll be at your office." Snyder, who lives in a house on Geddes Road in Ann Arbor,

More intimidation from the party of tolerance.

The majority of the nation is with you Gov. Snyder. Please stand up to these creeps. Every day they show the country what gutless bullies they really are.

I´m not going to read the article. Just the threat alone against his daughter is horrific. In a sane world the ´´activist´´ would be thrown in jail. I may be wrong, but I´m assuming the Rev.II is black. I would never have said that four years ago.

So get a restraining order - keep them outside any county the MI gov is in. Or maybe outside any state. Or nation, that sounds even better.

Sad thing is, these thugs mean it. They will harass the gov. My brother-in-law worked for his father-in-law in MN and didn´t want to join the union. He was beaten and had his truck shot at, he reported these incidents to the cops and they did nothing. He finally gave in and joined. They are a bunch of goons!

I was one of the AFP Tent "survivors" from Tuesday. We called and called for the police and/or Capitol Security and they never came before the union terrorists tore it down and destroyed much private property.

So I sure hope the State Police will do a better job protecting Governor Snyder and his family!!!

Why don´t we just call these people what they are - TERRORISTS!!!

Have the thugs that beat up the Fox News reporter in Lansing been arrested yet? The citizens of Michigan voted out a pinko commie Canadian born Dem governor in favor of Republican Governor Snyder. Governor Snyder should be just as tough with the union thugs as Reagan was with the air traffic controllers -- have no mercy and take no prisoners. The old "Rev." is an unholy poor excuse for a human being.

Read how Hitler went from 30 followers to supreme Chancellor in just 10 years. When the police forces turn their back on their duty, the rest of us are in DEEP trouble. The media really ought to challenge their dereliction of duty, but of course they are the root of the problem. If we don´t find a way to push ALL of this back, it won´t just be the US that falls, it will be the world that slides back into a new Dark Age. This unraveling of civilization can not be overstated.

Idiots on the left don´t get why people "cling to guns". It´s obvious now that if Obama invokes a government takeover,the cops are going to be on his side simply because they´re in a GD union.

The culture of left wing derangement is filtering down to the kids to the point where they can´t separate fantasy from reality.Even when cops are on the job,they get there a day late and a dollar short.

Schools all across this country have tolerated bullying and some kids internalize it and snap at some point.

Every one of these white kids that have snapped have liberal parents but we never hear a word about them or why their kids were so deranged.If the parents were gun rack rednecks,we´d never hear the end of the investigation.Just like this Elmo character.Is he in jail yet?

#23, I have heard that a .22 caliber bullet, shot from the correct distance, will bounce around inside someone´s scull, making their brain into hamburger. And CSI cannot get any forensic evidence from a .22 caliber, due to the fragmentation and compression of the bullet when it hits bone.

#28, I would further restrict anyone that wanted to be recognized and/or identified by their skin color from joining our Republic. That would restrict anyone from the KKK to the rabid, mad-dog new black panthers from becoming a citizen of our new nation.

I Googled it for you, #2. The Rev. Williams II is indeed black, born in Detroit, raised in Birmingham and has earned a glowing reputation with the left as an "activist."

I had an uncle who was a member of the UAW and worked at a Buick plant in Flint back in the early 60s. It was made clear to him by the advice of his shop steward ( read:threatened) that he should change his mind about mounting a challenge to replace a longtime union official. He persisted , anyway. Suddenly, his children were being followed home from school and other places just so he knew that they could and would harm his family if he persisted. He immediately got his mind right. I can´t help but think about how this was WAY before they became the cornered rats that they are today.

First off, let´s watch the left wing governor of CT take all the guns away from his citizens. We´ll see how that goes. He is an absolute moron.

Regarding the article, union members are never prosecuted for destroying property, harassing anyone opposed to their union, attacking scabs, attacking any other person, even killing them. Never has a union member or union official held responsible for what they say or do. The police unions will not go after their "brothers" and who knows if the firemen will come if your home or business is on fire. All unions in the US are corrupt, and they have the Democratic Party in their pocket. We know the Democrats are all takers and not producers.

Gun control has been driving the news this week, or at least the mail. In recent weeks readers have been encouraging me to dive into the morass. There is so much noise on this issue that I don´t know where to begin. (Snip) There are abundant gun laws on the books. If they were enforced and followed up we might be able to make a dent in gun violence. But laws don´t curb the lawless.

Today the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis released their 2012 personal income estimates. Personal income is an important economic measure of a state’s well-being. (Snip) Since 1950, Maine has increased taxes and spending dramatically with the introduction of the sales tax in 1951 and the income tax in 1969. New Hampshire, on the other hand, did not. Increasing taxes on the private sector has two consequences. First, higher taxes will mean less money in the pockets of individuals and businesses which will reduce their ability to invest for the future.

Many who march in the army of the president say that all they want is to return to the good old days when Bill Clinton rode the range and rich people paid their fair share of taxes. Back then, they say, all was good. In 2000, the top tax rate was 39.6 percent and there was a 2.9 percent Medicare tax on top of that. (Snip) This means that the top stated rate for taxes is now 43.4 percent — a rate that is higher than that paid in Clintonian times.

Electric cars are promoted as the chic harbinger of an environmentally benign future. Ads assure us of "zero emissions," and President Obama has promised a million on the road by 2015. With sales for 2012 coming in at about 50,000, that million-car figure is a pipe dream. (Snip) If a typical electric car is driven 50,000 miles over its lifetime, the huge initial emissions from its manufacture means the car will actually have put more carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere than a similar-size gasoline-powered car driven the same number of miles.

Japan is caught

Posted By: nhchemist- 2/4/2013 10:05:30 AM     Post Reply
The lesson is that huge budget deficits and ultra-low interest rates — the basics of stimulus — have limits and can be self-defeating. To use a well-worn metaphor: Stimulus becomes a narcotic. People feel better for a while, but the effect wears off. The economy then needs a new fix. Too many fixes may spawn new problems (examples: excessive debt, asset “bubbles,” inflation). That’s already happened in Japan. It’s caught in a trap. On the one hand, it needs stimulus to grow. On the other, the debt from past stimulus measures threatens future growth.

House panel blocks most GOP attempts

The Republican-led House Rules Committee late Monday approved a rule for a massive Hurricane Sandy relief package that shuts out most GOP proposals to pare back the size of the bill. The main bill provides $17 billion in relief, and an amendment made in order would add another $33.7 billion, for a total of $50.7 billion. Late last week, Republicans offered amendments that would trim the bill significantly, but few of those were made "in order" by the Rules Committee on Monday.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.
