Helms was a conservative pitbull that didn't back down from his core beliefs. He's didn't sellout to political correctness either. If we had more conservatives like Helms in the congress, America wouldn't be in the situation it finds itself in now.Alpha Conservative Malehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769725919555832952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-79522345832597727562008-07-13T12:52:00.000-04:002008-07-13T12:52:00.000-04:00Like all people, Helms was a mixed bag.His biggest...Like all people, Helms was a mixed bag.<BR/><BR/>His biggest flaw, at least to the Left, wasn't any racial bigotry, even today the left is notoriously bigoted, just in more subtle ways, no, it was his adhering to the decidedly anti-modernist view, a view endorsed by America's Founders, that "freedom" is NOT mere "license" ("Doing whatever we each want, so long as we don't harm others"), BUT instead LIBERTY (best defined as full self-ownership and "the grinding burden of complete personal responsibility").<BR/><BR/>Great blog you have there, I've bookmarked it and will go over it more fully as time permits.JMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281344324964417974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-57415834020720885352008-07-11T21:40:00.000-04:002008-07-11T21:40:00.000-04:00Our site takes a somewhat unbalanced view of the g...Our site takes a somewhat unbalanced view of the good Senator, and the coincidence of of the 4th of July passing.
