"The Koch brothers have recently come under fire from the institutional Left due, primarily, to a more than 40-year commitment to economic freedom. In part, the Koch brothers’ advocacy for freedom may stem from their father, Fred C. Koch, who developed a hatred of Communism when he saw the effects of it first-hand, working in Russia during the 1930s.

“Virtually every engineer he worked with [there] was purged,” Charles Koch once explained of his father.

Given the desire of many on the Left, many of whom were protesting in Madison these last few weeks, to ‘fundamentally transform‘ America’s economy, the Koch brothers’ opposition to a nation bankrupting itself (as well as their support of Scott Walkers’ efforts to rein in union power in Wisconsin) represents a direct threat to the Left’s agenda. As a result, some of the more extremist groups on the Left are pushing a boycott of Koch Industries and its companies’ products.

Due to the sheer number of jobs that directly or indirectly benefit from Koch Industries, the Left’s undertaking to topple the Koch brothers and their companies may have the negative consequence of actually hurting those the Left purports to want to help—namely union workers. This has a top official with the United Steelworkers concerned.

 

On Wednesday, Jon Geenen, an International Vice President with the United Steelworkers wrote a long post on the union’s blog entitled A Well Intentioned Bad Idea. While Geenen’s post was not a defense of the Koch brothers’ politics, it was a defense of Koch Industries, both as an employer and, more importantly, a unionized employer:"

The sky is falling. I see you still like posting on here.  
   
 As someone who votes both ways and has supported Walker as WI Governor, I have no interest in seeing him as President. He is best to do what he does in WI. Not very happy lately that he has been changing his agenda to fit what will probably get him the most votes for President. Otherwise I do respect the guy. He (use to) tell you exactly what he was planning on doing, get voted in, and do as promised. I don't agree with everything he does but he did get us out of potential debt that was about ready to happen. Too many articles lie on his impact he has had from getting us out of the red. Ha Ha The Koch borthers. Yeah they had a nice big hand in WI.  
   
 Sort of funny that as liberal as I can be, I can also be righty on certain things.

I want the GOP keep supporting what they are supporting. In that way, they will never win the Presidency and the country can slowly move to a progressive and enlightened society.
