The American Spectator's laudable, and eloquently verbose, R. Emmett Tyrrell writes a very good review of the memoirs of a true conservative and unabashed American, the Honorable Jesse Helms.

Jesse Helms is truly racist scum and I will never spend a dime to make him richer no matter where we agree on other issues.

Jesse Helms supported Ronald Reagan in '76, despite the know-it-all's grief over the fact that these conservatives would dare challenge the status quo of the G.O.P.

Whenever I saw or heard Jesse Helms, I could always hear the theme from "Deliverence" playing in the background.

Jesse Helms, a genuine conservative. Where did they go? Where are the Jesse Helms of today? We sorely need them.

On his stand for the sovereignty of the US and against the UN, he gets top billing as a hero...in my opinion.

Some despise him because of his accent, of course it was southern, he is from North Carolina, for heavens sake. Some try to smear him as racist. Being southern does not automatically make one a racist. He was not.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Mr. Helms was a courageous voice in the wilderness during bleak times. We owe much to him.

[Boiling point]

Helms rated number one on the Conservative Index several years in a row. That's good enough for me.

The North Carolina Primary in 76 was the most important primary in the History of our country.Will real conservatives be ready for the next one?
