Charles Koch: I'm Fighting to Restore a Free Society

Anyone ever notice the Left is losing the ability to debate reasonably?
No wonder they shout down conservative speakers on campus rather than argue against their ideas.

Fred, we get tired of your right wing false truths. Live in your world if you want. The rest of us live in reality.
sorry you are not smart enough to get it.
To the rest of you parrot folks, keep saying the same thing and mabe someday it will come true. I am amazed at your wishful thinking.

Koch, who is serving as a delegate to the Republican National Convention from New York, spoke to POLITICO after delivering brief remarks at a reception held in his honor by Americans for Prosperity, the political advocacy group he chairs and has helped fund.
