Fairweather Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 It seems that the greatest Americans always pass on the 4th of July, and he is no exception. A great man who stood up against compromise in the face of communism. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMcJizzy Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Jesse Helms was a great man. He stood up to those who wanted to venerate MLK. To those who wanted Pinochet in jail, Jesse said "no dice". And he supported big tobacco and it's government subsidies against those weak leftists with the Moscow supported anti-smoking campaigns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prole Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 From his earliest years, Helms's attitudes recalled those of an earlier southern bigot, Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi, who so outraged his Senate colleagues, that they eventually refused even to let him take his seat. There was never a comparable risk for Helms, who maintained an old-world courtesy in his personal contacts. But that was only on the surface. He became one of the most powerful and baleful influences on American foreign policy, repeatedly preventing his country paying its UN contributions, voting against virtually all arms control measures, opposing international aid programmes as "pouring money down foreign rat holes", and avidly supporting military juntas in Latin America and minority white regimes in Southern Africa.  In domestic politics he denounced the 1964 Civil Rights Act as "the single most dangerous piece of legislation ever introduced in the Congress", voted against a supreme court justice because she was "likely to uphold the homosexual agenda", acted for years as spokesman for the large tobacco companies, was reprimanded by the justice department and the federal election commission for electoral malpractice, and compiled a dismal personal record as a slum landlord.---from Guardian.co.uk 7/4/08  It's times like these that I almost wished that I believed in an afterlife.

Dechristo Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 You'd not only need to believe in an "afterlife", but also in an administration of justice that squares with notions of your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prole Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 You'd not only need to believe in an "afterlife", but also in an administration of justice that squares with notions of your own. Â It's justice enough for me to know that as an aging Jesse Helms looked across this country he saw that most of his racist and bigoted life's work had been an abject failure and knew that at most he was regarded, even by his peers, with disdain.
