“breaking point?”
In 1984 my father was telling me about his trip to the Reagan Museum. Then I said that Reagan was a loser for firing the air traffic controllers in 1981. The we argued pros and cons for thirty minutes. Then I learned that Reagan was correct, air traffic controllers were wrong and arguing with my father was helpful.
Patriotism is a virtue.
Reagan told them if they decided to Strike he would fire them.
They thought he was bluffing.
They chose poorly.
The Left blamed Reagan, but the ATC Union made the call so the needle on my Sympathy Meter barely moved a blip.
