Former United States Senator Jesse Helms has passed.
On Independence Day. Flip a burger, have cold one, enjoy some fireworks with friends and family. In other words, be a proud American.
You owe him that much.
Bonus Observation: CNN is hopeless:
Helms’ hometown newspaper, the Charlotte News & Observer, lionized him in 2001 as one of the creators of the modern Republican Party.
Great job fellas.
Update: Let’s not forget this little bit of history that the QC contributed to Helms’ legacy a few years back.
