Sheets Byrd is a typical democrat in EVERY way: It's been almost three weeks since Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.), Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) protested the relatively small expense (estimated at about $1 million) associated with the landing by President Bush on the USS Abraham Lincoln to greet returning American troops. All three complained about a "waste" of taxpayers' money and how, if the event was necessary at all, it could have been accomplished at much lower cost. Normally such concern for wasting our money would be cause for praise, coming as it did from three of the biggest spendthrifts in Congress. But, as so often happens in Washington, these men practice the fiscal opposite of what they preach. Citizens Against Government Waste (www.cagw.org) has chronicled the cost of pork-barrel projects brought home by Byrd in the 2003 budget at $298 million. Byrd may have diverted more federal money to West Virginia than Saddam Hussein skimmed from the U.N.'s oil-for-food program. In fact, about the only thing not named for Byrd in West Virginia is the state itself. He also managed to pick taxpayer pockets for $150,000 just so he could build another office closer to the Senate floor as a personal convenience. townhall.com

Clearly those are the sentiments that yeilds considered the essential views and oath of a Canadian Patriot. Maybe this is the oath of the Canadian Patriot. "I should rather die a thousand times and see old glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen of the wilds." He vowed never to fight in the military "with a Negro by my side." Then he went on to filibuster the 1964 Civil Rights Act and vote against Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas, the only black nominees to the Supreme Court.
