We Must Stop Those Evil Koch Brothers From Helping Expand Individual Liberty

Via Reason comes this comment from a poster at Reddit about the left wing’s latest Public Enemy Number One:

The KOCH brothers must be stopped. They gave $40K to Scott Walker, the MAX allowed by state law. That’s small potatoes compared to the $100+ million they give to other organizations. These organizations will terrify you. If the anti-union thing weren’t enough, here are bigger and better reasons to stop the evil Kochs. They are trying to:

1. decriminalize drugs,
2. legalize gay marriage,
3. repeal the Patriot Act,
4. end the police state,
5. cut defense spending.

linky no worky for me. I bet it is getting hammered with requests for the page.

I just tried it and got through, try it again, if not now then later.

Here's a teaser for now.

Who hates the police? Only the criminals using drugs, amirite? We need the Patriot Act to allow government to go through our emails and tap our phones to catch people who smoke marijuana and put them in prison. Oh, it’s also good for terrorists.

Wikipedia shows Koch Family Foundations supporting causes like:

1. CATO Institute
2. Reason Foundation
3. cancer research ($150 million to M.I.T. – STOP THEM! KEEP CANCER ALIVE!)
4. ballet (because seriously: F--k. THAT. s--t.)

Agree with everything except the gay marriage issue. The issue of marriage of any kind should be a state issue, not a Federal one. Or am I misreading their position?

Are you saying that a State should be able to tell you wether you can get married?

[mudshark]

Why shouldn't gays be able to get married? Don't they have the same right to be as miserable as straight people?

Better them than the Federal government. History shows quite clearly when you give something to the federal government you get a solution that nobody likes.

My thought is for the government to get out of it and just call everything "unions" or whatever and leave "marriage" to the church and synagogue. It's not exactly a government function in the first place.
