Koch has failing real estate and resorts. All those are used to house refugees to fatten his spoiled government welfare pockets.

There is a whole industry out there far outpacing the prowess of a whore welfare queen of islam with 15 kids.

First of all, Koch is not the Tea Party founder.

If anyone gets credit, it is CNBC host/commentator Rick Santelli who gave rant in 2009 that mushroomed into ‘the tea party’ movement.

Horse crap. If anybody is the founder of the tea party, it's Rick Santelli.

The Kochs are libertarians who only look out for themselves, not America, or the majority of Americans.

This is the second headline in two minutes I've seen here at Free Republic referring to the ban on the entry of people from a select number of Middle Eastern countries as a "travel ban."

It isn't a travel ban!

Those people are free to travel wherever they want - just not to the U.S.
