Thank you for the comments. Please check out the article at #4 from Human Events.

I watched Strom's 100th birthday celebration on C-Span and was surprised to hear about his awesome record of service. Pretty much all I knew from our helpful (/sarcasm) press was that Strom was old.

Can you imagine what the press would have done with a Democrat with Strom's record? Bob Woodward would be one of many "Thurmond" biographers; the History Channel would have an annual Strom week; every American would know of Strom's war record and service to our country....Strom probably could have won the Presidency with a "D" following his name.

Strom praises God daily for the chance to serve.

Watching O'Reilly tonight, I wanted to hurl. Both O'Reilly and his guest, "Dr." Douglas Brinkley said that Thurmond was a racist - even today. Garbage.

I wish that I could live long enough to see what "history" says about those two when they pass on.
