Bye Bye Byrdie

I simply could not resist. I have been taught not to speak ill of the dead so just let me point out that Senator Robert C. Byrd reflected the Big Government values of Washington D.C. more than the down home values of the state he represented. All across West Virginia, projects generated with funds from the Federal government bore his name and the Senator did indeed bring the pork to make many West Virginians government-dependent and strip their dignity, displacing industry and crowding out the private sector to make those who were willing and able to work hard involuntary dwellers of the dole. From his affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan, to his support of the crippling Obama agenda, Senator Robert Byrd brought ignominy and harm to those whose interests he claimed to represent.
