Jesse Helms was a bad man because he disliked liberal college profs ...
and failed to pander to gays ... and failed to support baby killing ... and
never failed to support family values!

I had extensive dealings with Senator Helms back in the 90s on issues relating to Indo China and its people. He was unfailingly helpful, supportive and courtly. I spent a great deal of time with him. He was a wonderful man. Interestingly, the other “most helpful” on those issues was Senator Paul Wellstone. The least helful? McCain.

Well, Juan, gay rights and abortion do threaten family values. They are the antithesis of those values.

RIP Jesse Helms...for standing strongly on those issues and not pandering to those votes as Williams would have had you, and would apparently have others do.

Down here, there are TWO people that one is wise not to make disparaging comments about in public, or mixed company.

One is General Robert E. Lee, and the other is Senator Jesse Helms.

The Chapel Hill intellectuals...or as well call them...Tighty Whities... can go straight to hell!

The irony of Juan discussing Tony Snow this morning and what a decent man he was, and then we see this from Juan.

The libs are just plain trash. No other word for it.

It seems to me that Juan, along with many of the leftists on FOXNEWS, seems to have become more reasonable over the years. It’s almost like actually being around conservatives on a daily basis has shown him that there are some reasonable arguments on the right, that conservatives aren’t really the ‘foaming at the mouth haters’ the left portrays them as...

According to Juan we have made “progress” beyond the “racist” good ole’ boy politics of Jesse Helms. Juan must be living in a cave. Just a few weeks ago the “black”/liberal/democRat/”intellectual” US Senator ‘Rat presidential candidate Barry OsmamaObama played the race card in a most cynical way. “Did I mention he was black?”

We'll wait and see what Juan writes about Sen. Byrd when he passes. Just another phony Lib.

Seems that Jesse Helms was 100% spot on.

You're against equal rights and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr?

When I was growing up even Yankees admired Robert E. Lee. I think the same thing was true during the War Between the States. Even his opponents thought he was a great man. It is only in the last 30 years or so that has changed.

Jesse Helms was one of the last really true Conservatives as the term used to be used.

Jesse Helms was a good and decent man.
He lived a long and admirable life.
