Watch Dylan Ratigan Let Michelle Bernard Advocate "Demolishing Teacher's Unions" A Year Ago

The labor unions right now simply exist for one reason: To self-perpetuate, receiving union dues, and having political influence. I think it's absolutely amazing to watch that clip from The Rachel Maddow Show last night where this guy is, he's saying to President Obama, "I'm strong arming you, buddy."

And my answer to this would be they are showing themselves to be as ridiculous as many members of the American public think they are. What happened to pragmatism, what happened to competition, and what actually happened to winning? Maybe it would be great for the Democratic Party to lose the support of labor unions because quite honestly, a lot of labor unions are what holds America back and keeps us from being as good as we can be.

Quite the spetacle of conservative thought, isn't it?

Now RATigan is a populist? Something is funny here.

1. Obama allows Arne Duncan to not only advocate such but empowers him to make it happen.

2. You didn't know RATigan was a great big phoney? Whatever he has to do for "publicity", he'll do.
