The Koch Brothers were always a mixed bag. I agree with them on some things, disagree with them on others.

Just because a man disagrees with me half the time is not reason enough to insult his memory.

He poured money into globalist anti nationalist anti American worker causes. He was an activist that did a lot of damage. It wasn’t just a matter of “disagreeing” with him.

Anyone who is for open borders betrays Free America and its Citizens.

It depends on which "half the time" the disagreement occupies.

If I like dogs and they don't lives in one "half the time", I can get by with that.

However, if they believe that providing support, aid and comfort to people who wish America ill lives in the other "half the time", I cannot.

I am not going to dance on their grave. But I can see it as a positive event for the country I love, and even though I may not take any joy in it, I will not mourn either.

Agreed. I can’t stand the “my way or the highway” attack squads here.

In any case, de mortuis nil nisi bonum. Say only good things of the dead.

That is, those things that give credit where you can to the newly dead because they’re not here to defend themselves, and God is in any case already judging them better than we ever could.

A more detailed historical analysis can wait for later.

Yep, and it’s an area where I envy the left. Their shadowy billionaires are fully in sync with their movement.
