Koch: I'm Fighting to Restore a Free Society

[JohnL.Burke]

What we have here are the democrats trying to demonize the Koch brothers so they can squeeze out more money from liberal millionaires/billionaires. Demonizing rich libertarians in order to get more money from rich liberals. This isn't hypocrisy, it's political retardation.

It's not so complicated to see the Koch brothers hidden agenda behind all their flag waving and misty-eyed patriotism. They fund the political campaigns of evangelical Christians. You gotta' be into Jesus to get their money if you're running for office.

So....does anybody take issue with their obvious desire to mix church and state? And of course their obvious hatred of Jews. I mean after all, there are those nasty rumors of how they try to hide their family's years in pre-WWII Germany:

Are there Hitler-era Nazis in the Koch Family Closet?

Are there Hitler-era Nazis in the Koch Family Closet?

So what does a couple of good old Christian boys do to compete with Marvin Adelson's ring-kissing convention in Las Vegas? They are too stuffy to hold a 3-ring circus like that for the Republicans. Instead, they go to their good friend Rupert ("..hack cell phones to get the story!") Murdoch, and Uncle Rupie gives them 3 columns and a half-page in his rightwing WSJ rag for their 2016 recruiting agenda.

I bet WaPO and the NYT told him to fuck off.

Anybody who bought into that pandering bullshit on page 10 needs to wake up.

 

[JohnL.Burke]

You do know George Sorros used to be a Nazi, right?
I'm not also sure how many campaigns of evangelical Christians the Koch brother fund since they are pro gay marriage and legalization of weed.
Also, so what if they had ancestors who were Nazis? What is that supposed to imply? This is not the kind of country that visits the sins of the father onto the son. If you want to live in that kind of country then buy a ticket to Palestine and marry a woman to beat.

Yes he was...and he helped send Jews to the death camps while pillaging their wealth.

Charles Koch: I'm Fighting to Restore a Free Society - WSJ.com

I have devoted most of my life to understanding the principles that enable people to improve their lives. It is those principles—the principles of a free society—that have shaped my life, my family, our company and America itself.

Unfortunately, the fundamental concepts of dignity, respect, equality before the law and personal freedom are under attack by the nation's own government. That's why, if we want to restore a free society and create greater well-being and opportunity for all Americans, we have no choice but to fight for those principles. I have been doing so for more than 50 years, primarily through educational efforts. It was only in the past decade that I realized the need to also engage in the political process.

It's quite obvious to me why the bed wetters are so totally consumed with hatred for this man. I enjoyed the piece, and encourage anyone "sitting on the fence" regarding the Kock Bro's agenda to read it and make up your own mind.

This obviously excludes bed wetters, because they're programmed to reject information without thinking. Yet I'm sure we'll see plenty of their smarmy psuedointellectual parroting of "facts" found only on a Media Matters website, as opposed to reality.

don't be so hard on yourself. you and the other brainwashed koch-ies are just funny.... keep believing what they tell you and keep voting against your own self-interest.

No, I don't know that Soros used to be a Nazi, but he didn't BUY the Op-Ed page in the WSJ and Koch did. Can you follow a thread or do you need me to help you?

The Koch brothers are the main funding source for Heritage Action. Check it out if you can handle it. You DO know what the Heritage Foundation is, don't you?

The Democrats stole the gubernatorial election here a few cycles back so liberals only use rules when it benefits them. Nice cheap shot though.

Since your post keyed 'regulation', my post wasn't a 'cheap shot'.

As a rich registered Republican, I can say without reservation that I didn't meet a regulation I didn't love. Regulation helped me eliminate competition.

You aren't fooling anybody.

I've refuted your foolish argument. Get over it and come back with another so I can do it again!

LOL!!! You seem to think that "Buying" the Op-Ed page in the WSJ is worse than being a nazi. You have interesting priorities. I also don't care IF the Koch brothers are the main funding source for Heritage Action. So what? Good for them. The left certainly didn't seem to care that one of the major funding sources for Gore's campaign was China. God forbid an American citizen spend his own money though. The left hates success and freedom of speech. Except for their own of course.

And then the truth comes out.

Koch: I'm Fighting to Restore a Free Society

Then he’s wasting his time and money, as America is currently a free society – in no need of ‘restoration,’

In fact, more Americans enjoy greater freedom today than at any time in this Nation’s history; and that freedom has never been more secure today than at any time in this Nation’s history.

If Koch wants to facilitate a free society, he should spend his time and money seeking to secure comprehensive civil liberties for gay Americans, freedoms conservatives fight to deny.

Do you recognize the goal of Obama and his friend, disputed ghost writer of his Autobiography, former employer and the man in whose living room Obama announced for the job of POTUS, terrorist and Alinsky-ite, Bill Ayers, is to collapse America's institutions so they can be rebuilt according to their radical mental image?

"You know, it's interesting. Which of the first 10 of the Bill of Rights have Democrats fought to expand? Freedom of religion? 'No way, pal. No way, Jose. Unh-uh.' Freedom of speech? 'No way!' They fight to expand dependency. In fact, they don't even like the Bill of Rights. They don't even like the Constitution."

" "The purpose of the Constitution is to limit the scope of government in people's lives. People like Obama don't like that. They want the Constitution to be something that spells out what the government can do to people.

Hmmmm.... Media Matters for America... where have I heard that name before? Oh yea! That's the propaganda tool that George Sorros contributes heavily to. LOL!!! What is really ironic of course is that Soros often compared Bush Jr. to Adolf Hitler. I'm hoping he meant that in a negative way.

Daddy Koch made his money by fracking the oil fields of the USSR. Still think the Koches love the USA or money???

He built cracking plants, moron. You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. In those days, American journalists were telling the American public that the Soviet Union was a paradise, so why would any liberal turd object to an American doing business with them?

Koch Industries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1925, Fred C. Koch joined MIT classmate Lewis E. Winkler at an engineering firm in Wichita, Kansas, which was renamed the Winkler-Koch Engineering Company. In 1927 they developed a more efficient thermal cracking process for turning crude oil into gasoline. This process threatened the competitive advantage of established oil companies, which sued for patent infringement. Temporarily forced out of business in the United States, they turned to other markets, including the Soviet Union, where Winkler-Koch built 15 cracking units between 1929 and 1932. During this time, Koch came to despise communism and Joseph Stalin's regime.[11][12] In his 1960 book, A Business Man Looks at Communism, Koch wrote that he found the USSR to be "a land of hunger, misery, and terror."[13] According to Charles G. Koch, "Virtually every engineer he worked with [there] was purged."[12]

Wow! Their daddy was a great man too.

A People’s History of Koch Industries: How Stalin Funded the Tea Party Movement

Everyone knows that Tea Party revolutionaries fear and hate socialism about as much as the Antichrist. Which is funny, because the Tea Party movement’s dirty little secret is that it owes its existence to the grandaddy of all Antichrists: the godless empire of the USSR.

What few realize is that the secretive oil billionaires of the Koch family, the main supporters of the right-wing groups that orchestrated the Tea Party movement, would not have the means to bankroll their favorite causes had it not been for the pile of money the family made working for the Bolsheviks in the late 1920s and early 1930s, building refineries, training Communist engineers and laying down the foundation of Soviet oil infrastructure.

The comrades were good to the Kochs. Today Koch Industries has grown into the second-largest private company in America. With an annual revenue of $100 billion, the company was just $6.3 billion shy of first place in 2008. Ownership is kept strictly in the family, with the company being split roughly between right-wing brothers Charles and David Koch, who are worth about $20 billion apiece and are infamous as the largest sponsors of right-wing causes. They bankroll scores of free-market and libertarian think tanks, institutes and advocacy groups. Reason magazine, Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute are just a few of Koch-backed free-market operations. Greenpeace estimates that the Koch family shelled out $25 million from 2005 to 2008 funding the “climate denial machine,” which means they outspent Exxon Mobile three to one.

I first learned about the Kochs in February 2009, when Mark Ames and I were looking into the strange origins of the then-nascent Tea Party movement. Our investigation led us again and again to a handful of right-wing organizations and think tanks directly tied to the Kochs. We were the first to connect the dots and debunk the Tea Party movement’s “grassroots” front, exposing it as billionaire-backed astroturf campaign run by free-market advocacy groups FreedomWorks and Americans For Prosperity, both of which are closely linked to the Koch brothers.

But the Tea Party movement—and Koch family’s obscene wealth—go back more than half a century, all the way to grandpa Fredrick C. Koch, one of the founding members of the far-rightwing John Birch Society which was convinced that evil socialism was taking over America through unions, colored people, Jews, homosexuals, the Kennedys and even Dwight D. Eisenhower.

i can see why you'd like the kochs... lack of intellect, low information right-wingers think anything that shows the lie to what they say is propaganda.

i think you SHOULD support oligarchy... that way the billionaires buy your government and you pretend the problem is anyone to the left of atilla the hun.

When is that going to happen? Any minute now, like the return of Jesus?

Obama's spent the last 6 years funneling public money up to the wealthy job creators who only create jobs in China. 95% of financial gains since 2009 have gone to the richest 1% of the population. Only during a black man's term in office can this be considered "Socialism".

The Socialists don't like him but remember he's weak and a dictator, so that allows to be a socialist who lets the rich get richer. Clear as mud.
