Losing their grip on the American workforce.
According to the Labor Department today one in fourteen private sector workers -- union members.
Down from over one in three and the 1950s now union advocates are blaming it on weak labor laws.
Clamoring for union is unionization to be protected.
Under the Civil Rights Act joining me now Ann Coulter conservative columnist and author of the book you -- this demonic.
How the liberal -- is endangering America welcome back of the show and -- his CEO.
Thank you good to be our -- what you gotta get into this with -- because I was I was so shocked when I read this so.
What you want is they want the right to unionization to be a protected right under title seven so like race ethnicity niece is sex you name it.
The right to organize and civil right what do you say.
Well I suppose it's appropriate that.
Democrats who were responsible for massive civil rights violations against blacks in this country have forgotten what the purpose of the Civil Rights Act was I mean.
You can't compare it even the categories that have been slipped into the civil rights acts.
I think are inappropriate civil rights is for blacks in is that they this this class of people were brought here as slaves.
They were viciously -- discriminated against by governments by Democrats.
I might add not just southerners but 100% by Democrats and that's why the federal government.
Had to stepping in to ensure blacks were guaranteed their civil rights.
Now you know we finally got Democrats to give up on discriminating against blacks now they want to call everything a civil right.
Whether it's you know women nor immigrants and is now what now.
Yet that.
Labor unions it hasn't been a contraception is gonna be a civil right next I will tell you there is apparently I mean the federal government wants to make sure everybody is -- -- contraception I what's the difference of listen I'm -- I did feel about your column.
You're talking about Rick Santorum.
And I thought it was really fascinating the way you described.
How he is issues that are so important in these these social issues that are.
Clearly close to his heart.
Really have nothing to do with the federal government and you ask the question -- running for president why isn't he just run for governor.
Tell me more about yeah I think Santorum might be running for the rock office.
Think that that's.
Yes well -- -- outlook.
Don't think I agree with him is bottom line the objective he is seeking -- socialist -- and I hate the idea you know if you loses that means the social issues are a loser now they're a winner.
But they're not a -- I think in a presidential election in the middle of the second Great Depression.
One thing that isn't what if the federal government is supposed to be dealing with.
Part of what is so freedom promoting about our constitution.
Written by people much smarter and wiser than we are.
Isn't it leaves the states and localities and municipalities.
-- govern themselves basically however they like.
The constitution is a limit on what the federal government can detail.
And and we've gotten so far beyond that -- even conservatives often can't remember.
What congress is supposed to be doing and by the way Ron Paul is very good on the limits of what congress should I am doing.
Mean.
And and but but but the constitution doesn't place limits on what the states can do those limits are by the people themselves voting democratically in towns in counties in -- There -- there state constitutions their state laws.
And I think.
I mean things like No Child Left Behind an increasing child tax credit exemptions or whatever it is.
On the more and when the entire Department of Education.
Concerns have this idea were going to take the federal government and promote our issues well no that's never going to work because conservative little conservatives don't grow up.
Hoping to be government bureaucrats on the liberals did know exactly -- governments will always be liberal don't try to get control of it.
And promote well personally -- my question is I libertarians your libertarian and you want to run the federal government why.
You know it's it's an interesting that -- -- it got -- that a problem but.
Listen another issue I talk -- -- about today -- New Yorkers are fired up about Obama's fund raiser last night.
He was asking 38500.
Dollars ahead for this event they practically shut down Mitt down midtown for this thing -- you hear what he had to say.
-- the president.
We can fight for an economy that works for everybody an economy that's built to last it's builds on American manufacturing and American energy and education and skills for our workers.
Hard work and prayer planet shared responsibility.
Let's just select.
Still in a war on the wealthy but I'm happy to take your money to run for reelection.
Right no that's jacket I'd like -- how many people that audience got a bailout of subsidy -- waiver from Obama -- He's going to -- a lot of money given what has happened to the rest of us who are not special friends of the Democrats.
But I I mean one point I think is worth making in this regard and that is this is why.
It is not a good thing to keep this thing no one in terms of the Republican primary it's time to wrap it up we've -- twenty debates.
People have to get serious about this and this is just taking money from that Mitt Romney is going to need to run against a bomb in the fall.
Depriving him of the resource is -- all Obama has to do is run against.
Romney or whomever the Republican nominee is going to be but it's gonna be Romney.
You know he doesn't have a primary opponents other than Randall Terry -- -- -- speaking tomorrow in Oklahoma by the lack of it are right well you know you're wearing your heart and your -- as usual at this time it's from -- Ronnie Ronnie.
Think -- so much coming for coming on tonight really appreciate it of course come back and that's -- less Randall Terry beats Obama in the primary.
OK the thing that happened president elect -- are right thanks for the help but I.
