Jesse Helms was a conservative--a derogatory label among liberal Americans, and an uncool label with young Americans. Senator Helms, like any man, was not always right, but he was a valuable conservative patriot. I most admired his indifference to the liberal media, who in turn took great joy in lampooning him. There is nothing wrong with finding "right" within one's country, and safeguarding a governmental system that has created, what many believe, to be the greatest nation in the world I read a report recently that said not a single American forfeited his/her American citizenship in the last year. If this statistic is correct, then, that says it all. I'm sure Jesse would agree.
