>> The RW god Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers didn't he????

PATCO members were breaking the law by striking. Logically, Reagan had no choice but to fire them. They were, after all, breaking the law.

As an aside, we now know that when PATCO strikers were fired, the Soviets took notice they were dealing with an extremely serious individual, and the firing of PATCO workers played a not-insignificant role in the tough negotiations Reagan conducted with the Soviets throughout his presidency.
