News – Jesse Helms was a believer, and fundamentally, what he believed is the quintessence of America. The American constitution is the word of the land, trumping the fashionable vagaries of international law. Freedom is the heart's blood of civilization.

Politics – Turns out that those of us on the left who remember Helms remember him correctly. He was the last holdout of the old segregationist south; an unrepentant racist, a demagogue, the father of the politics of Karl Rove and Lee Atwater.

Politics – Regardless of how those on the regressive right want to sanitize the life of Jesse Helms, the truth is he was one racist SOB who stood as an obstacle for everything decent, and everything the right has proved to be wrong about.
