Billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother Charles was both celebrated and demonized for transforming American politics by pouring their riches into conservative causes, died Friday at 79.

The cause of death was not disclosed, but Koch Industries said Koch, who lived in New York City, had contended for years with various illnesses, including prostate cancer.

    This site is as red as communism.

    It's abhorrent and vile that one man's death has led to such mob-like cheering. It only proves that the Left follows the Gospel of Greed and the Politics of Envy.

    It is my opinion that you sir are a troll, a bot, or a blithering idiot. This site has some far right along with some far left contributers. Moderators do a good job screening out the bullshit, even if I don't always agree with the up-voted comments.
