Again...I am far from defending Sen. Helms. Many of his beliefs were deplorable, at best. But they were his beliefs, his convictions and he stood by them. At least with him, you knew where he stood. As opposed to a great majority of politicians today, Rep. and Dem alike, who only say what people want to hear, whether they actually believe it or not. The state of todays politcians is criminal, at best. I would would hate to see and United States where everyone thought, acted and believed the same thing. Me personally, I could give two sh*ts about what others believe, as long as they stand strong in their convictions. Much more respect for people like that as opposed to people pleasers.

When I talked about backward views, I was referring to the racist attitudes of the 1950s. That is all I was referring to. And I'm only referring to true racism. We all have different views of what true racism is. To me, true racism is when a person basically dislikes all the members of a certain race. I'm sure others have a far broader view.
