Democratic senator is really an exalted cyclops

"Robert Byrd, the longest-serving senator in U.S. history, died Monday at 92. While he was most famous as a master of the Senate's obscure rules, Byrd wore many hats during his lifetime, including that of Exalted Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan. What are the job responsibilities of an Exalted Cyclops?"

Better late than never. Let me guess, as soon as you can screw up the courage to gouge out one of your eyes you will be a cyclops too?

You must be new to politics. The KKK vote for republicans and other right wing candidates, not leftists. So actually you may have more in common with the Klan then you think.

*than*... It is sad to correct God's grammar, it is a devil of a job.

Robert Byrd was a Rethuglican? The Klan arose in the Democratic south, and has mostly faded away.

Grammar Nazism seems to be on the rise lately.

And yeah there used to be a ton of racist southern democrats up until around the 50's and 60's. The parties change and modify their ideologies over time. Now socially conservative democrats are in the minority, and the far right libertarian types have picked up the next generation of Klansman for obvious reasons.

UncleBuck · May 12, 2013

wow, such current and relevant news.

how long ago did robert byrd die? how many decades ago did he repent for something he did over half a century ago?

sounds like someone with an irritated vagina is straining hard for a one star fail thread.

Buck defending KKK member. Racism is OK if your name is followed by a "-D"............lol...

he repented for what he did over half a century ago, you unremitting failure.

but meanwhile at a minority outrach event at CPAC...

this is the party you root for and the party that you belong to.

see how that's actually recent and relevant, unlike desert douche's spam?

you're welcome for that little lesson, my pretty ballerina.

now go back to stormfront and complain about how blacks get to vote after church, or find some more women and children to kill.

One thing the political parties don't change is their quest for increased control over your life. A "true libertarian" seems to be less intrusive than either Republican or Democrat, no?

unless of course you're pregnant, in which case you need to be monitored by the government to make sure that you don't exercise autonomy over your own body.

You should certainly have autonomy over your own body, I don't think a person can be a real libertarian unless they recognize that. Perhaps the problem some libertarians have with abortion is they believe the woman having the abortion is exercising force over ANOTHER beings body.

yeah, let's give a fetus more rights than its mother, have the government monitor the whole affair, and stamp it with the mark of liberty.

libertarians are retards.

I'm not for government intervention or monitoring. A right to life for a near term baby doesn't seem unreasonable to me, do you propose any limits on when an abortion shouldn't happen?

Libertarians aren't categorically retards, no more than baby duck avatars make a person retarded.

yes they are.

voluntaryists are worse.

A "true libertarian"? If you're using the word correctly and referring to the traditional anti authoritarian left then I'd say yes. If you're misusing the word like most Americans and referring to the extremists on the far right who believe that government should be demolished so that private industry can take it's place I'd say no... We call those people fascists.

R.I.P. Senator Byrd.
I used to watch congress on tv most of the day at my old job in the 90's.
When business was finished Mr. Byrd would take the floor and talk about some wacky shit. Sometimes he would forget about what he was talking about and
aimlessly start some other rant.
He was funny to watch.
