The Koch brothers are, or were, libertarians. They help bankroll Reason magazine, perhaps the most influential publication on the libertarian side. Their father was one of the founders of the John Birch Society but the sons moved in a libertarian direction.

About as anti-American as any leftist. He eagerly sold out American citizens time and again to make a dollar. The epitome of the worst kind of millionaire and hardly a stellar American citizen, more a world premier globalist.

I do not celebrate the death of someone (with, perhaps, the legal execution of an indisputable murderer as an exception), but I do celebrate the end of malignant influence by a deceased person.

I never regarded the Koch Brothers as conservatives. They are what the Enemedia wants to portray as conservative, so that they can ignore the real thing, and give it no voice.

I also do not regard them as libertarians. Open borders with a welfare state is not in any way a legitimate libertarian position.

I call them limousine libertines.
