  Spin it any way you want, lying through omission is still lying, even when you do it to yourself. Apparently the author is simply an apologist that needs to have the concept of "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" explained to him. This man was a bigot and a pig; glorifying him by praising him as being "true to his convictions," and "unflinching" are pointless in light of this. You can say the same thing about Stalin, Hitler, Eichmann and bin Laden. The world improved just THAT much more on the morning of July 4 when he kicked the bucket.

  To be the last stalwart upholder of racism is not moral strength.

  It would say better of his soul had Helms flinched; had he hesitated, wondered in his last years what harm he had done.

  To use the vocabulary of freedom to write laws that deny liberty and civil equality, is not an affirmation of the constitution or the law; it is prostitution.

  We have enough of that already.

  Wow. I understand that the author is somewhat complicit in the actions of Mr. Helms, but that doesn't mean that his entire public record of ridiculous battles over issues that are near and dear to my heart gets expunged.

  I am glad that he is gone. The world is a better place without him.
