jesse helms and nancy pelosi

Published Jul. 4, 2008

My 2 cents...we need balance in Congress as those brilliant men that wrote the US Constitution invisioned.  We don't need 554 Jesse's or 554 Nancy's. At my earlier Jesse blog, there were some "rot in hell" type venom that is just plain inappropriate and, yes, juvenile.  When Ted Kennedy's brain cancer kills him, is that what we wish to read here?  I guess we need a big boy/big girl blog site for those who can make serious comments of thought, and another site for the "others".  Politics is just that...very little will change dramatically because of one man or one woman. That is the beauty of our form of government.  Happy Independence Day...jack

free...thanks for your thoughtful post. Sadly, sometimes some posters here can get mean-spirited. They only hurt themselves in doing so.

Jackadoo, I agree with you totally. Some of the comments coming out are ridiculous. This should be a place to voice healthy dialouge. More and more it seems that people are not so much giving their thoughts on the issue at hand, as much as they are jumping on anyone that makes a comment on these blogs that is different than their own. Most notably is the practice being used to copy and paste someone else's comments, and pick them apart. Sometimes I believe we all forget that it's ok for someone to have a different opinion (who wants to make a comment only to be attacked).This diverts away from the actual issue that was being addressed in the first place. As for Jessie, he was someone I had regard for, but I didn't agree with him on a lot of issues, nonetheless, he was a good man. Just as I believe that both McCain and Obama are good men. So guys, quit cruxcifing people that give there opinions on something, and have a little respect for other's right to speak freely.

Amen, tmed......

As far as Helms scolding you left out mainstream Republicans, anti smoking folks, Yankees, Jews, and reporters, Tmedlin. Well, OK, it's impossible to list everyone he scolded. His strong support of American Apartheid and his tenacious opposition to women's rights deeply embittered many people. However I will say in his support, if you called his office with a problem concerning the Federal Government, they would actually make a tangible concrete effort to help you, especially veteran's/VA problems.

jack, you've got to remember that there are marxists, artists, homosexuals, atheists, leftist professors, blacks, liberals that help to make-up GOLO, and some people may fit all those descriptions. Jesse Helms scolded them all, at one time or another, and most have obviously never gotten over it. Many have allowed his insults to fester and felt like today was a day to let it out. Don't sweat it...I'm sure he's looked down and grinned at those who came to his defense and recognized that conservatism isn't dead. The lesson to be learned is probably that a hundred good and noble actions can be undone in the courtroom of public by opinion by a single, harsh comment. When you live to be 80+, a million good deeds can be upstaged by 100 harsh comments. It's just the way it is...

I'm sorry Jack, I didn't get to read your earlier blog... but it sounds like I don't want to either. We need to fire the government and start over from scratch... yeah, we may lose a couple good ones, but the majority is just dead weight...

it WAS pretty nasty, wasn't it!
