Independence day, July 4th 2008, Senator Jesse Helms went to be with Jesus. He fought the good fight. He was a Real Man.
Jesse Helms was, indeed, unique.
He stood like a rock in a time when most men in public life tended to sway like reeds in whatever direction the political and social winds happened to blow. As he once said, "I did not come to Washington to win a popularity contest.” He came to Washington to wage war for what he knew to be the truth, and he fought for nothing less than absolute victory.
He believed that killing babies in their mother’s wombs was simply cold-blooded murder. He accepted without question the ordained distinction between the sexes.
Jesse Helms refused to join the globalists’ worship of an imperfect United Nations -- and came close to forcing reforms in an otherwise unreformable institution dominated by forces who hated his country.
He worked to prevent the National Endowment for the Arts from funding work he disapproved of.
Helms was known as "Senator No" for his staunch opposition to an array of liberal causes, including arts funding and gay rights.
In later years, Helms worked with Clinton's secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, and U2 singer Bono to fight AIDS in Africa.
Helms was one of only a few rock solid conservative Senators that voted "No" to Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
He was a "Blue-collar", Nationalistic, Conservative.
Oh how I pray that we get more of the Jesse Helms type of Conservatives in Congress.
Senators that will say "No" to smut, gay rights, abortion, globalism, global warming freaks, atheists, God haters, and all those who support such perverted issues.
Jesse Helms was a major influence on American conservatism, but his career provides a blueprint for anyone who represents an embattled minority viewpoint. You can, with persistence and unflinching determination, change the political odds in your favor.
In this and in every other battle he chose to fight, Jesse Helms struck to his guns. He was one of a kind. Dear God find us more like him.
