Does Scott Walker Know That Ronald Reagan Supported Unions and Collective Bargaining?
 
Walker believes that his efforts to end public employee's right to collective bargaining are akin to Reagan's August 1981 firing of thousands of air traffic controllers who illegally decided to strike. And while it's true that Reagan came down hard on the air traffic controllers, that doesn't mean he believed in completely stripping away worker's rights.
After his election, and less than month after firing the air-traffic controllers, Reagan didn't back down from his support of organized labor. In a speech at a trade union gathering in Chicago in September 1981, he said,

Reagan also promised that despite tough economic times, he would "not fight inflation by attacking the sacred right of American workers to negotiate their wages. We propose to control government, not people."

There won't be one. They will all be...neocons...just like W and Obama.

If one cares to notice, all Obama has done different is being a more radical Keynesian and passing ObamaCare which isn't a large shifting of profits and may result in even more with more subscribers and the usual ripoffs. So if anything it will be slowly marginalized while most everything else is basically a continuation of the same Bush policies.

Iraq has served its very profit purpose for 8 years. Afghanistan, we have tripled in force and now and after all of these years...we are the insurgents. We are throwing $billions at a defacto border war on top of the still perpetual, very profitable drug war.

The rest is merely partisan banter or outright bullshit from the talking heads.

Not Carter? If you're having Nixon as a liberal, I'd have thought he qualifies as well.
