Joy Behar Bizarrely Blames Reagan in 1981 for Sleeping Air Traffic Controllers in 2011

Sleeping air traffic controllers in 2011 are the fault of Ronald Reagan firing striking workers in 1981, according to liberal comedienne Joy Behar. The View co-host on Thursday managed to blame the late President while talking about a recent series of napping air traffic controllers.

The left-wing comic bizarrely compared, "[Reagan] busted the union, the air controllers' union. And they probably would have been strict about having two people there, because the main thing about the unions is they want more people to work."

Fellow co-host Whoopi Goldberg joined in, complaining, "It sort of started with the- Ronald Reagan saying, you know, you guys asking for too much money. He fired everybody. He cleaned them all out."

Put two union workers in a room and they’ll both be asleep and you won’t be able to fire them.

It started with Rutherford B. Hayes.

That's my position, and I'm sticking with it!

And she sits next to a former crack-addict, prostitute, welfare queen, and a woman who has murdered at least 6 of her own children in abortuaries. Quite a pair of humans, huh?

It’s Thomas Edison’s fault. If he hadn’t created the light bulb, planes wouldn’t be able to fly in the dark, and we wouldn’t have a night shift where the controllers get sleepy.

Imagine of I had said something equally as stupid to my graduate faculty advisor. I would have been asked to leave the program. Why is this ignorant XXY still on TV? By the way, she needs a shave!

Of course it's Reagan's fault. Those controllers from 1981 are at least 50 years old by now! :-)

Actually, I think because of Reagan, my brother got a job as an ATC! :) On a serious note tho, I have always thought their hours were crazy. It can’t be good to work the kind of hours they work when you do the sort of work they do, where you have to always be as detail oriented as they are. I think rotating shift work is pretty hard on the body. I don’t think I could do it. But I don’t know if the guys who fell asleep had the same type of scheduling.

Too much money, huh. The article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (commie rag) wrote that the average salary for an air traffic controller was $106,000 per year.

Only a liberal could argue that two employees need to be hired, in case one of them wants to sleep on the job.

Joy Behar Bizarrely Blames Reagan in 1981 for Sleeping Air Traffic Controllers in 2011

The purpose of the View is to promote blatant and aggressive idiocy as an acceptable argument position for liberals.

Liberals, especially liberal women, watch this show and others like it. And then they go out and spew the idiocy that is all around us, with passion and arrogance, and preen when their victims look at them in astonishment over the hoorific stupidity of what they are saying.

This is calculated power dynamics training. Hillary has an army of morons she has to control and focus, and this is a big way she does it - besides anti-depressants, of course.

Anti-depressants; and pattern-matching moronic belligerancy from female liberal media, government and education personalities, are the twin towers of The Bitch's control system.

The result is the lockstep savage stupidity you now see all around you.

These are the real Borg, the real Zombies, the real Clones, the real Orcs.

But it's not a game - it's real, and it's deliberately created through careful construction and maintenance.

God help us all, for we truly do labor against "powers and principalities."

These Hollywood libs have an irrational nutjob HATRED of Ronald Reagan, and that translates in to everything else.

They STILL blame Reagan for the Great Gay Death from Aids, not the inability of infected gays to keep it in their pants. (With no mention, of course, of the GReat Hemopheliacs Holocaust, caused by AIDS-infected blood

From time to time, this rears it’s ugly head in plain view, for all to see.
