"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters."
Daniel Webster

A Few Good Words for Robert Byrd
The Cato Insitute's Justin Logan reminds libertarians there was more to the late senator than pork barrel spending.

And yet it seems like the Senator's strong beliefs were always directed against the other party. How many times did he chastise the Clinton or Obama administrations for their quest for more power? He was one of the most partisan members of Congress.
