Jesse Helms died this past week on July 4,2008 .The pundits and the blogs are on fire today for a eulogy. Either you loved him or hated him .Senator Helms was a true conservative who played hard to win .Whether it was against communism ,or civil rights ,you knew where you stood. Jesse Helm's stoked the fears of the white working class in his senatorial campaign against Harvey Gantt. Helms campaign advertising pitting black voter against white voter, thank God our country has matured . The Republican party and its candidates in their desire to get black voters will never get black votes when they stoop to the low level of the Helms advertising. The only thing that advertising needed to incite white anger and backlash was to use the "N word" .
Jesse Helms has died and most conservatives will thank him for his service to his country and his conservative principles.As an American who completely abhors prejudice of any kind , Senator Helms expressed his views regarding African Americans in an old school way. Thank God ,school is out . RIP - Jesse Helms.
