In Memoriam Jesse Helms 1921-2008
Jesse Helms and Ronald Reagan
Yesterday Senator No, as he was known for his hard-line conservative political stances and harsh opposition to liberal agenda, died at the age of 86 in North Carolina, USA. From this blog we remember one of the greatest conservative minds of the American XXth century. Requiescat in pace.
”I fight for what I believe. If you are not willing to stand up for what you believe, your beliefs are not strong enough.”- 1984
”Atheism and socialism — or liberalism, which tends in the same direction — are inseparable entities. When you have men who no longer believe that God is in charge of human affairs, you have men attempting to take the place of God by means of the Superstate.” – 1973
”Compromise, hell! That’s what happened to us all down the line — and that’s the very cause of our woes. If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bolgona to be bartered a slice at a time?” — 1959
”Americans need to stop protesting, marching, looting, burning, destroying, threatening, posturing and loafing. They need to start minding their own business again, go back to work, regain respect for decency and personal responsibility, and to pray for God’s forgiveness for what they have deliberately tried to do to America.”– 1966
