From Jessie's guiding principles... The United States of America must always measure its foreign policy against the faith guided tenets of our heritage, not against the vagaries of current opinion or selfish self-interest.

How fitting that he died on Independence Day - he was a true patriot and we certainly miss a man with principles these days.

We have virtually no stalwarts like him left today.

Try to explain him to a young person and they are all “but, he was a.....”

the social engineering left has thoroughly whipped our asses

brainwashed most conservatives as well

politics now can be judged on virtually one issue that affects only 11.8% of the population.

This is one reason the liberals hated him...I have tried at every point to seek God's wisdom on the decisions I made, and I made it my business to speak up on behalf of the things God tells us are important to Him. Jesse Helms

A great Man...we were fortunate to have him as long as we did.

Those in NC know just how good a Senator he was as Senator Helms' office helped a lot of individuals with problems from our government.

On this Independence Day, may the Lord liberate His servant Jesse from all earthly cares, and welcome his spirit into His eternal Presence...

RIP, Mr. Helms

Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr. will be recorded alongside the greatest senators in history like Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. He held his ground when lesser men and women played “go along to get along.” I’m sure that he will be shaking hands in heaven not only with the greatest U.S. Senators in histroy, but two other authors of liberty who crossed the bar to heaven on the 4th of July: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

What sad news to read on this Fourth of July.

Rest in Peace Senator Helms. My thoughts and prayers are with the good Senator's family today.

This is Reuters’ “tribute” to Jesse Helms:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Republican Sen. Jesse Helms, a leading conservative from North Carolina who served five terms in the Senate before retiring in 2003, has died, CNN said. He was 86.

Helms, a blunt-talking product of the Old South, was known as “Senator No” for opposing just about anything that obstructed his conservative view of the world.


That is their entire obituary.

The media and ivory tower spent decades trying to ruin him and his work by tying him to unsavory things, and they failed. RIP Mr Helms.

Well done, thy good and faithful servant. Enter into thy rest that hast been prepared for thee.

Thank you, Lord, for Jesse Alexander Helms. Bless him for standing for what is right and true.

Thank You for giving him to us in trying times.

Please send more like him. We have no one in the US Senate of his caliber.

And thank You, that like Jefferson and John Adams, he went Home on the day that meant so much to him—the Fourth of July.

We got the message.
