Seems the guys is pro-choice and pro gay marriage. He is also against ethanol subsidies even though his company recieves millions of dollars in these subsidies.

What is wrong with David Koch other than being pro-choice?

As long as he gets richer and the poor get poorer he doesn't give a flying fuck.

Fuck him and his fucking brother.


Oh, and fuck you, too.

Rollingstone isn't much to do about credibility these days. Especially after the phoney College Rape article they published recently.

Is that all you have? Nothing of substance? If what happened with the UVA story is systemic, it shouldn't be difficult for you to refute what is actually written in the article.

I have met libertarians who are pro-choice and pro-same sex marriage. They hold right wing views on everything else but believe that adults should be able to do what they want with their own bodies. Some of them are also open borders but their view on the borders has nothing to do with their love for their fellow man. They believe that business would somehow do better if people could freely and easily move from one place to the other.

Quote:Koch, who supports gay rights and women's right to choose, said if candidates he gives to don't share those ideals, "That's their problem. I do have those views."
"What I want these candidates to do is to support a balanced budget," Koch said. "I'm really focused intensely on economic and fiscal issues, because if those go bad the country as a whole suffers terribly."

This is the problem. He gives money to candidates that support things that will most likely hurt the country.

Libertarians in the USA strike me as an attempt by the GOP to expand without alienating an important core constituency (the religious right). They're really just Republicans who take a slightly more liberal stand on social issues... sometimes. I think that the GOP is understandably concerned with getting them back into the fold, since a split could be devastating for them in future elections. An honest-to-goodness libertarian party would be more liberal than conservative, IMO. Therefore, if the migration goes in that direction (ie, GOP towards libertarianism) it's probably better for the country in the long run.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

RE: David Koch
Ask our friends across the pond and they'll tell you that our "libertarians" have shifted right with the rest of our government - to the point where they don't seem like "libertarians" to other "libertarians" anymore. Hell, they're even shifting away from what american libertarians consider to be their position. I don't see any reason to assume that this pattern will stop, or that if it does, why any libertarian remnants will even be relevant. "Libertarian" in the states is shifting towards the GOP's positions..the GOP is not moving towards libertarianism.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
