An Addition to My Limbaugh Post: Even President Reagan Praised Unions

A frequent commentator on this site, John, brought the video below to my attention.  On August 3, 1981, President Reagan praised unions saying, “I respect the right of workers in the private sector to strike. Indeed, as president of my own union, I led the first strike ever called by that union. I guess I’m maybe the first one to ever hold this office who is a lifetime member of an AFL – CIO union.”

He said this before terminating striking air traffic controllers, but this video illustrates the point I was making in the post below.  Like Rush took Romney’s statement out of context, I too could simply post the above quote without placing it in its full context and subsequently try and say Reagan is pro-union.  That, however, would be incorrect.  Romney, like Reagan, fully understands the destructive role unions all too often play.  To try and say otherwise is simply disingenuous.
