I've never held with talking bad about the dead in a mean spirited way, there is being honest about who and what someone was and did, and honesty doesn't have to be done in a mean way...but more importantly for those who object to saying anything negative, people need to hear the negative.

The Kock brothers engineered a degree of monetary influence into politics that should never be there, they have influenced the landscape to where huge money can influence politics and instilled a belief that such contributions should be able to be hiffen from people to where they can't see who or what entity is funding races.

David Koch and his brother were exceptional chemical engineers. They employed thousands of people in good paying jobs. They donated over $1.3 Billion that is known about to various projects. David and his brother refined asphalt mixtures that you and I drive on everyday and improved its processing to be more environmentally friendly.

Yet, there are those that will and do continue to degrade an exceptional person. Most likely because those that do such things will find fault with anyone who has FAR exceeded the abilities of those doing the degrading.

Left soils itself in toxic vulgarity at the death of David Koch
By Monica Showalter

I have exactly one memory of David Koch and from it, I learned just one thing: He was a nice man.
A few years ago I was at a rich-patron's type conference at an institution I won't name and two famous people got into a fight, one of them inexplicably aggressive, the other baffled and furious. Koch, who I could see was there but never actually met, stepped in to smooth the ruffled feathers and act as the peacemaker between the two. No one else knew what to do because the situation was so strange and unexpected. Koch, who wasn't the guy running the thing, just a participant, is the one who showed the most class.

So with the news of Koch's death, it was right to feel sadness. He was a person who mattered. He was a bright chemical engineer who had enough talent and enterprise beyond that to create value with his brother with their major company, Koch Industries, employing tens of thousands in well-paid jobs. He also did whale-sized philanthropy, on wonderful things, such as medical centers, fine arts, performing arts, education, donating $1.3 billion that we know about, probably much we don't. He survived a plane crash in 1991. He endured cancer. He was a victim of the Obama administration's illegal leaking of his tax information, something no one was ever punished for.

And yes, he was a principled libertarian, always exploring new avenues for the development of ideas favoring freedom, even pairing with a far-leftist like Van Jones on prison reform - because it is after all, a libertarian principle to oppose the unchecked power of the state. He in fact unabashedly promoted conservative and libertarian ideas, something those of us who hold those views are forever grateful for. Yes, he was a bit of an anti-Trumpster, but that was probably a function of his disciplined temperament. For someone who did so much good on so many levels -- and who showed such strength of character - his death indeed was sad.

But on the left, some of the most barbaric behavior ever seen at the death of the man is now out there. Just look at this revolting collection of spewings:

PJMedia's Nicholas Ballasy has curated a choice collection of tweets from no-name leftists on Twitter, with the same kind of grotesque reactions. One of them claims that karma from the Amazon rainforest fire did him in, another is crowing that he's won the lottery. Others are sinking into a goo of obscenities and scatology, which the left often likes to do, inarticulate in their ravings.

Then there are those who say the man is in hell, something that up until now, the left has argued for decades doesn't exist. How convenient to have a suddenly invented hell.

Fox News reports that other leftists are calling for the death of the other Koch brothers, or yelling about how 'hated' he was (by them, obviously, not normal people). Fox characterized the response as "vulgar" and "vicious" and a "toxic cesspool of negativity."

Folks, this is the left on display. This is what unhinged, boiling-with-hate creeps look like.
Koch was a good man who would have extended his hand to any of them, and apparently, it makes them crazy. Now they're soiling themselves, throwing out the most revolting statements -- not about Koch, really -- but about themselves.

David Koch, RIP.

So, once again, the left shows who they really are. Sitting here in America enjoying their freedom of speech, and spewing vulgarities. Degrading a person who has been shown to have developed chemical processes, material processes, and the distribution of a product that without which we might not have nice asphalt roads to drive on. Might want to remember that before you degrade Koch Industries any further. You drive on a product Koch Industries and David Koch brought to you.

David Koch, the billionaire industrialist was one of history’s greatest monsters. No, he didn’t try to kill off an entire race of people, eat his enemies, or launch a merciless campaign of rape and pillage that spanned continents. And yet even such horrors as these will pale in comparison to Koch’s handiwork — unless we succeed in stopping it.

Commenting on his brother’s death, Charles Koch — incidentally, one of the few people on Earth who can claim to be more loathsome than David was — remarked that he had a “passion for life.” This is, of course, utter horseshit.

Koch and his legacy are as anti-life as you can possibly get, something no amount of selfishly motivated cancer research funding can cover up. I say “are” rather than “were” because even though Koch himself is gone, the corporatist bulldozer he set into motion will keep going long after he’s dead.

Besides spending fortunes to deprive people of health care, Koch and his repugnant sibling made their living by spewing pollution, cancer, and a host of other ailments into often poor communities. Their hostility to government regulation and insistence on unsafe working conditions led them to kill and maim workers and bystanders alike, such as the two Texas teenagers blown up by a defective Koch pipeline that led the Kochs to pay one of the largest wrongful death judgments in US history. It may be impossible to quantify exactly the damage done by the Kochs’ right-wing network, but the “welfare reform” of the ’90s alone shortened lifespans.

But even this repellent legacy is dwarfed by Koch and his brother’s singular contribution to the climate crisis. It is the darkest of ironies that the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s wing dedicated to the story of human evolution is named after Koch, given that, other than his brother, arguably no single individual has done more to try to shut the book on that story than Koch.


We’ve known for a good while that the Koch network has been funding and fuelling climate denial and inaction by the government for decades, in concert with the growth of the Kochs’ own fossil fuel-based profits. Thanks to the release of Christopher Leonard’s Kochland last week, we now also know they were on the ground floor of the fight to ensure human extinction, spreading climate denial and working against political action on the subject as early as 1991, when the world still could have embarked on a gradual transition away from fossil fuels.

And as the climate crisis became ever more visible and tangible in recent years, did Koch and his brother put the unimaginably colossal wealth they’d amassed from poisoning people and killing the earth toward undoing the damage they’d caused? No, they used it to kill public transit projects at the local level because these threatened Koch Industries’ bottom line, further hamstringing future efforts to prevent planetary catastrophe. To paraphrase Noam Chomsky, evil doesn’t even begin to describe this.

And yet, due to the limitations of language, this is the only word that comes close to describing the ghastly Koch and his vile brother: evil. David Koch was an evil man who dedicated his life to evil.

May his grave not spend one day free of urine as he burns in hell.

I would gladly take the actions and life of one David Koch over a thousand kevys any day and the evil thoughts and words of one kevy far exceed the evil thoughts and actions of a thousand David Kochs. It is hard to speak of evil towards any person who just died, but kevy and the evil left once again showed the depravity in their character and mind and ideology. But maybe justice will eventually come out as they burn in those eternal fires, looking up at a man who was better then them in every way and is in heaven for his many good deeds. RIP David Koch

It is interesting to me that while the left vilifies the Koch Brothers, and I must admit, I do not know that much about whether they do or don't care about people, since I do not know them personally, nor do I know how much they have contributed to climate change, since I am not sure the sky is falling on that issue, they say nothing about George Soros and the way he is behind many of the protests in this country that end up being violent and destructive, how he insists that the world follow him into the abyss of atheism. Amazing. I suppose it is easier to be hateful to someone who can no longer fight back than it is to come up with solutions to the problems this country has. Hate destroys the one who hates-depravity ends in destruction.
