The republicans are at it again here in Michigan…

Well….if you didn’t know it, the culture wars are alive and well here in Michigan with the passage of a couple of bills that were proposed here by the repub controlled legislature….the latest nonsense comes from the supposedly business friendly Snyder and his team who are now targeting private businesses, making it illegal to offer health benefits to non married partners and same sex couples. Why are these idiots still fighting this culture war when even businesses and their owners don’t see this as a problem? It’s just another example that the Michigan Taliban (aka the republicans) are all for freedom and individual choice when it is for someone they agree with but will use the full force of their government position to punish those they don’t. How is this making Michigan more competitive? How is this creating jobs? If governor Snyder is serious about making Michigan more competitive, he should veto these bills…geez….
