All this BS about freedom is cover for supporting economic policies that will further enrich them. I might belive them if their supposed principals ever contradicted their economic interests.

I doubt they are personally enriched by open borders. They support open borders and gay rights because they are libertarian, not because they benefit from those.

I don’t know very much about Koch’s politics and whom he has donated to. A lot of what he says is indeed what we want. We DO want a free country (back), and in free countries there will be strong rich selfish people who want what they want even if it’s against the rules. These types should be proudly voting and donating with us. Opportunists do well in free societies.

Love the Jefferson quote he used, which I didn’t remember. Americans need to be informed that the nature of things is to relax into a controlling government over time. We need to know that freedom must be fought for every second. Frogs and slowly boiling pots.

We would have so many more people voting and caring with us if they only understood human nature and what this government is doing: using human nature against freedom. Enslaving with gifts. Reducing it to fairy tale level, this admin is the witch’s candy house! Eat at your peril.

And we need to not throw out the baby with the bath water. This rich guy has to be pro gay and pro illegal for financial reasons, but close enough - he might be reaching some WSJ readers that would never come here. These are discussions that need to reach the uninformed.

When I 'bing' (not google) Charles Koch and funding abortion, all I get are things from Slate, HuffPo and all kinds of nebulous 'blogs' spouting rumors and innuendo about 'Koch operatives' and 'secret' or 'shadowy' groups allegedly associated ...

I smell a democRAT disinformation campaign ...

Of course it is……and besides, Koch Industries is so big, who knows what they’ve swerved into over 50 years of being in business. They get things done…..people who haven’t struck out, haven’t swung the bat.

Besides, if they increase MY freedom, then that makes me THAT MUCH MORE effective for causes I believe in, and some of those might oppose the Kochs on certain issues…..so what? Win/win.
