It's also a bit ironic that many of the "conservatives" who are now so quick to condemn Robert Byrd and other populist progressives for segregationist stances they took many decades ago will, in the next breath, spout the teachings of the Apostle Paul, who was hell-bent on persecuting Christians and instrumental in the murder of many of them before he "saw the light" on the road to Damascus.
I guess for some, repentance salvation and redemption are just for those who are in their particular (political) "fold."
