Unfortunately, it wasn't part of the address. It was part of the article about the address. Mr. Helms is by no means conservative. This, from Wiki:

In 2010, Helms revealed that he had played matchmaker with Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres on the set of Arrested Development in 2004.

In 2012, Helms joined the boycott against fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A in the wake of Chick-fil-A COO Dan Cathy's publicly stated opposition to same-sex marriage. Helms called this position "lame" and said the fast food franchise had lost a loyal customer.

Jaxter is correct, Helms is not in any way a conservative. Sometimes people can’t help but see a truth when it is something they value that is under attack. Eventually, in some cases, that can press them to the right.

The best weapon against the left is the left.
