Conviction

Read This Story

He gave up his job instead of lowering the United States and North Carolina flags to half-staff in honor of Sen. Jesse Helms.

That is conviction from a bureaucrat.

My only question?

Can we clone this guy?

The North Carolina state government and the United States federal government could use thousands more like L.F. Eason. That is, somebody who will stand up for what they believe.

He is right. Sen. Helms was a racist bigot who hurt the credibility of North Carolina with his service. The rest of the country needs to know that Jesse Helms is not an accurate representation of North Carolina. People like L.F. Eason prove that to be true.

In an electoral system in which incumbency advantage is huge, Helms squeaked out 5 victories in Senate races, he never won a landslide. That may not sound like much an excuse but, North Carolinians must take what they can get when it comes to salvaging our history that includes such a bigot for a Senator.

Now, it is quite perplexing why it would come to this. There is no reason to force somebody into retirement, this would not be a media issue if a man had not lost his job.

Bottom Line? L.F. Eason must love America.
