VOICE: The Glenn Beck program presents more truth behind America's march to socialism.
GLENN: Yes, that's right. Tonight all we have to do is worry about where are we having dinner. Honey, where are we having dinner? You know what sounds really good right now? A Whopper. Doesn't that sound yummy? Maybe a Whopper and some cheesy tots. Love those. They have all that melty cheese inside the potatoes. Mmm, it's yummy. Then they have those little, those new Burger Shots, I think you can get them in a six pack. Anything that comes in a six-pack, speaking like an alcoholic has got to be good. What do you say? Don't answer. Don't absent yet. First let me tell you about card check. "What? I wanted a cheesy tot." Let me tell you about, you know, the magical plan that will take away the right of the worker to cast a secret ballot with somebody possibly with big muscles because they carry around a baseball bat, ask people to unionize? It will also allow workers to unionize instantly so businesses can get their site out. You remember that card check, the bill that's hemorrhaging endemic support in the Senate because how bad the economy is, the card check that's so bad for companies that Wal-Mart stock was actually downgraded just on the possibility that this thing might pass. You know, that card check. Well, the bill has some new opposition. The king and his cheesy tots. Well, the fast food giant Burger King is getting involved with a battle against card check. The company's corporate offices confirm something that will actually dismay labor leaders. A couple of weeks ago the unions thought they had won a major battle by getting Burger King which spent hundreds of thousands lobbying against the free, Employee Free Choice last year to back down from working against it this time around. Why would they do that? But a few days ago a Pittsburgh paper reported that Burger King had not backed down at all: Now remember, that's all I can keep in mind. You know the Burger King mind, the creepy plastic face guy? I mean, you just don't want him showing up in your bed, you know? You wake up, he's there holding a chicken sandwich and like, it's got chicken in it. I mean, this is not a guy that you want to screw with. I'm just sayin'. Burger King, quoting from the article, has an obligation to educate and inform its employees, franchisees and key stakeholders on any proposed legislation that could affect the business. Key points of the proposed Employee Free Choice Act legislation, also known as card check, going to have significant implications on Burger King systems, 1,000 franchisee-owned small businesses. Now, let me ask you this. What's for dinner tonight? Seriously? "Honey, I swear I'm only having a double bacon Western Whopper down my throat because I'm fighting socialism. I swear that's all I'm doing. I'm eating the onion rings for this country. Oh, may God bless this 44-ounce Oreo chocolate shake and may God bless United States of America and the big plastic face spooky king guy."
VOICE: That was even more overwhelming evidence that we are destined to be a bunch of socialist pigs very, very soon on the Glenn Beck program.
