Rest in peace, patriot.
I’m sorely afraid we will never see his like again.
To: Quix
I can't think of a more appropriate day - the 4th of July - for this great man to pass from this earth.
God bless and comfort his family at this time!
To: jern
Last iron-spined Republican senator? Hope not.

The closest to him in the Senate today is Coburn.

RIP, Senator. What a great American he was. A real American Patriot. As the old saying goes, “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore”.
May God Bless and keep him

Best politician my state has ever produced. May he rest in piece.
To: lainie
One of the last of the true conservatives, and one of those rare politicians whose promises you could trust. RIP Senator Helms. There are few men like you remaining in today’s world of capitulation and corruption.

I think you’re right. Didn’t he stand up against a GOP senator for a pork-barrel fund for some Alaskan bridge or something?

On the Fourth of July, no less.
A great man, a great patriot, a great American.

Typical MSM and their bias shows up in the first sentence:
Jesse Helms, the firebrand U.S. senator whose outspoken, conservative views polarized North Carolina and U.S. voters for decades, died at 1:15 a.m. Friday in Raleigh.
RIP, sir.

A patriotic man dies on our nation’s birthday. He joins the ranks of Jefferson, Adams and Monroe . God bless him and his family.

Sad day for the country. Another one of the TRULY GREAT ones gone.
To: BibChr
May well have been one of the last reasonably authentic Republicans of any kind of spine at all.
