Is Becker A Marxist?
Because there was no way to get Becker or Solomon through the senate confirmation process, Obama gave them the job anyway via a recess appointment. The DailyCaller is reporting on a letter sent by Republicans to the President asking him to rethink he decision.
Several Republican senators penned an open letter to President Barack Obama on Thursday calling on him to immediately rescind National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) nominations for Lafe Solomon and former Service Employees International Union (SEIU) general counsel Craig Becker. Their request comes as the NLRB is leading a charge against Boeing for planning to open a non-union factory in South Carolina.
Obama has been in bed with SEIU for a long time and his selections for the NLRB should come as no surprise. What is surprising is the outright Marxism promoted by Becker in past Law Review articles.
Old law review articles obtained by The Daily Caller that were authored by Becker further inflame the already heated debate. “The right to engage in concerted activity that is enshrined in the Wagner Act – even when construed in strictly contractual terms – implicitly entails legal restraint of the freedom of capital,” he wrote in the January 1987 edition of the Harvard Law Review. “What threatens to eviscerate labor’s collective legal rights, therefore, is less the common law principle of individual liberty than the mobility of capital, which courts have held immune from popular control.”
The situation with Boeing is simply incredible. Capital freely moving within the country is one of our fundamental freedoms. Aren't happy with the rules, tax or market in your state? Move to someplace else. That is exactly what Boeing was considering until the NRLB outrageously intervened. It's hard to disagree with Jazz Shaw over at Hotair when he says:
I’m not sure if that quote was lifted line for line straight out of Marx, but I’ll confess there’s a definite similarity in style. So it’s not hard to see why some of the NLRB’s critics are looking to hang this particular piece of dirty laundry out on the line just as the fight over Boeing’s expansion in South Carolina is heating up.
I know, calling the President a socialist means I'm a racist. The same with calling him an outright communist. However, anybody who would appoint somebody like Becker who spouts Marxist rhetoric, probably agrees with him. Why else appoint them in defiance of the Senate? Obama surrounds himself with communists, therefore he is a communist. Period. Boeing needs to move forward with their expansion into South Carolina and fight the NLRB tooth and nail.
