Goodbye, Senator Robert C. Byrd
The mainstream media is all aflutter over the death of Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV), who has been a member of Congress since 1952. He was third in line of succession after Nancy Pelosi and known as the “King of Pork” for steering at least $5.5 billion in federal dollars to West Virginia for wasteful “public works” programs (more federal money than any of the other 49 states).
My sympathies go out to the Byrd family, but I don’t regret the loss of this member of the Senate. He wasn’t the “hard-charging power broker” shown in MSNBC‘s sanitized eulogy, he was a reprehensible example of all that is wrong with our government. For the life of me, I cannot understand why Democrats have been eager to excuse Byrd’s past and allow him to contort Congress with his twisted ideology and irresponsible selfishness.
Immediately prior to joining the House of Representatives, Byrd was a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan; a fact which might explain why he led the charge for the Democrat party, filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and opposing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side… Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944
When one looks at the Democrat party’s agenda for the past 50 years — and especially their actions over the past 3.5 years, it appears they’ve helped Sen. Byrd keep that oath: to trample Old Glory into the dirt.
Now that Sen. Byrd has died and vacated his Senate seat, will Governor Joe Manchin (D-WV) appoint another former Exalted Cyclops of the KKK to replace him?
