In 2006, Koch Industries owner Charles Koch revealed to the Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore that he coordinates the funding of the conservative infrastructure of front groups, political campaigns, think tanks, media outlets and other anti-government efforts through a twice annual meeting of wealthy right-wing donors. He also confided to Moore, who is funded through several of Koch's ventures, that his true goal is to strengthen the "culture of prosperity" by eliminating "90%" of all laws and government regulations. Although it is difficult to quantify the exact amount Koch alone has funneled to right-wing fronts, some studies have pointed toward $50 million he has given alone to anti-environmental groups. Recently, fronts funded by Charles and his brother David have received scrutiny because they have played a pivotal role in the organizing of the anti-Obama Tea Parties and the promotion of virulent far right lawmakers like Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC). (David Koch praised DeMint and gave him a "Washington Award" shortly after the senator promised to "break" Obama by making health reform his "Waterloo.")

Dear Co-Prophet Tapley,
As much as i enjoyed your video about condom users being barred from the Rapture, I'm a bit disappointed about your failure to go into God's physical/mechanical reasons for the ban.
It wouldn't take long to explain about how God's rapture rays can't penetrate condoms or to describe the terrible consequences condom wearers would suffer if rapture was attempted. Heck, I did it in in a minute and a half.
I'm enclosing my video about condoms and the Rapture. Please consider accepting it as a video response to your own. I think they will complement each other.
Heterosexually Yours,
Gen. JC Christian, patriot

A rain of boos showered Mr. Hill, including a hearty growl from Norman Dennison, a 50-year-old electrician and founder of the Corydon Tea Party.Or this nitwit:
"It's a flat-out lie," Mr. Dennison said in an interview after the debate, adding that he had based his view on the preaching of Rush Limbaugh and the teaching of Scripture. "I read my Bible," Mr. Dennison said. "He made this earth for us to utilize."
"This so-called climate science is just ridiculous," said Kelly Khuri, founder of the Clark County Tea Party Patriots. "I think it's all cyclical."Or this one:
"Carbon regulation, cap and trade, it's all just a money-control avenue," Ms. Khuri added. "Some people say I'm extreme, but they said the John Birch Society was extreme, too."
Lisa Deaton, a small-business owner in Columbus, Ind., who started We the People Indiana, a Tea Party affiliate, is supporting Mr. Young in part because of his stand against climate change legislation.Well, there we are folks -- the John Birch Society, formerly the province of kooks and the owner of Bowcraft Amusement Park -- is now mainstream. In fact, the John Birch Society and its flat-earther ilk, are now just another name for the Republican Party.
"They're trying to use global warming against the people," Ms. Deaton said. "It takes way our liberty."
"Being a strong Christian," she added, "I cannot help but believe the Lord placed a lot of minerals in our country and it's not there to destroy us."
We're reiminded why we hate the sumbitch and why we do not now nor will we ever miss his miserable, feckless ass. aWol has crawled out from beneath his rock and made a couple of public appearances lately. He misses being president because he misses being pampered. Seriously.
