Communists (OT)

Because you're impossible to have a reasonable discussion with.

And they don't usually call themselves commies anymore, as they've recognized it don't play well in America.

The family has a complicated relationship with Communism
The family business, Koch Industries, was built up by their brothers' father Fred, an "arch-conservative" and member of of the staunchly anti-Communist (some might say "paranoid") John Birch Society. But, ironically enough, the firm's financial success was built on the back of work done in collaboration with the Soviet government under Stalin in the 1930s, according to Mayer. By the 1950s and 60s, Koch Sr. was raising the alarm about Communists infiltrating U.S. society and government. In addition to a vast fortune, says Mayer, the Koch boys also inherited their father's "distrust of the U.S. government."

I still don't see how the Koch's are attached to the common tea-partier.

Gary they sound like capitalists to me.

Not really worried so much as concerned. And they don't usually call themselves commies anymore, as they've recognized it don't play well in America. They use 'progressives' and 'socialists' and 'professional left'. They know most people won't buy their crap, so they create other nice sounding terms.

But there is a traitor in our recent presidential history who was beyond socialism, beyond flirting with communism, a man who clearly was a redistributionist communist to his very core. That president had the top tax rate at 91%. He dealt with commies regularly, even helping the Russkies plan and coordinate military operations. As president, he hosted commie leaders who came to the U.S. to study how to infiltrate and overcome our freedoms. And he threw billions of our tax dollars into designing and building a road system the commies could use to move their troops and tanks through America when they finally invaded. That treasonous, craven, commie Quizling was, of course, Dwight David Eisenhower.

You people are priceless.
