Don't you go dissing Bobby Byrd. He was just responding appropriately to a patriarchal power-structure-based culture.


Rosie O'Donnell.

Worth a look: Byrd's 2002 floor speeches regarding the upcoming "war" in Iraq...

Byrd is within the tradition of people like Gore Vidal, Chalmers Johnson and Pat Buchanan, who, despite their differences on contemporary social issues, believe that the US was a "republic" highjacked by those insistent upon using the power of the federal government to launch a global imperial enterprise

his passing is symbolic of that belief as an antiquated, romanticized version of an American past, which will never return, regardless of whether you believe in it or not
