I'm sure liberals will be real respectful now like they want for everyone else (fat chance)

The only thing I liked about him was when he blocked payment of UN dues by the US back in the 1990's. The rest of his rhetoric (civil rights, etc) I'm not fond of at all.

However, this is NOT the thread to trash him. I'll leave that for another time.

On the one hand, Helms didn't let the leftists in Washington (back in the 1970s, Congress was practically Marxist) change the fundamental thrust of his political outlook. That took courage (or bullheadedness, either one).

On the other hand, he seemed to go out of his way to provoke even his own supporters with what is best described as "abrasiveness." Then again, those who he had to contend against in the Senate were just as obnoxious. That's politics.

One of 3 (maybe 4) Senators to vote against Ginsburg for the Supreme Court. Definite FF.

Nice to see your sense of humor still intact.

I don't see how Helms, getting this thread back on track, managed to put up with 30 years of that. Oh, wait, I do.

I'm counting how many nasty comments are made about him.  Just really to point out the hypocrisy of some people, although, I guess you wouldn't be one I would say is hypocritical, you'd probably say this about anybody that died.
