As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I know that honesty is not something which comes to mind when one thinks of liberals, socialists, or for that matter what is lurking around Conservatism now as our chosen Pied Pipers leading us over the edge, but in that, that is what is so refreshing about Dr. Edgar Berman in his memoirs of Vice President Hubert Humphrey, in this socialist leftist bleeding heart, actually brought to his book the word axe and liberally applied it to the fake democrats who plagued that party as today.
If I were to ask you who was the first black to dine in the US Congress dining room, most of you could not answer that it was the first black staff member in the Senate, and was a friend of Senator Hubert Humphrey.
This dining did not go unnoticed as the Senate banned Cyril King in would not seat him, but Humphrey raised holy hell that day, and Cyril King who would become governor of the Virgin Islands, ate with White Senators that day and that day forward.
That is what is the history in this, as democrat DC as Hubert Humphrey put it, was as repressive as Baton Rouge of the deep south, a decade after he experienced discrimination there for the first time.
I like Edgar Berman as he scientifically worships his friend Hubert Humphrey in Berman never was swayed by the podium or light. He saw the world for what it was and saw Hubert Humphrey for the child of South Dakota in innocense and honesty, who should have never made it to the top, because this democrat was a nice guy, with a real bleeding heart, and he cared about people and being honest.
Humphrey had a phobia about debt from the Great Depression. It would take an act of God to get him to take out a loan for a home and he considered the credit card the most ruinous invention of all. In those ways, he was the mirror of Federalist Christian John Adams in detesting usery and those who plagued Americans with that slavery.
Humphrey was an off the rack kind of guy. He simply never changed from his humble roots. Berman states that two others who rose to the top in George McGovern of South Dakota and Fritz Mondale of Minnesota, as soon as the paychecks started rolling in, their off the rack clothing disappeard and they were both lavishly spending tailors on Bond Street to dress them like millionaires of the day.
Berman especially contrasts Humphrey from the BRUTAL ARROGANCE of Lyndon Johnson, the POLITICAL ANIMALS that FDR and LBJ were, the calculating deviousness of Richard Nixon and the OVERBEARING PRIDE AND ARROGANCE or HUBRIS of Jimmy Carter.
For all of the lying, rhetoric, demagogues, nothing changed Hubert Humphrey. He was still the nice guy.
Arthur Schlesinger, once wrote in his book that Humphrey was "vulnerable" for being so nice, but Hubert Humphrey noted to Berman, that "He thought he did not do too bad" for being a nice guy.
Larry O'Brien, a Kennedy man, who was probably the deep throat who assisted the democrats in setting up Richard Nixon for Watergate framing, was a Humphrey adviser after Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. He told a story that when Hubert had his cancer surgery, O'Brien finally worked up the courage to visit him, as O'Brien was phobic about doctors and hospitals.
O'Brien hoped that he could duck in and out in 5 minutes, but related that Humphrey kept him there as a "sweet son of a bitch" recovering from cancer surgery, for two hours, assuring O'Brien that hospitals and doctors were not so bad.
In that Berman asked the cut throat O'Brien how it wa that Hubert survived in being so nice.
O'Brien stated, "Don't let anyone ever tell you he was anybody's patsy. He just did it differently - his own way - But he knew what the hell he was doing, and no matter what anybody said, he stuck to his way.
But don't forget that he was twice as smart as any other Senator on Capitol Hill".
That was Hubert Humphrey, the strangest of politicians who followed his heart, and kept pushing legislation until it passed, even if it took years. Not by wearing people down alone, but because Humphrey educated himself on the machinery of passing bills and knew every trick to get things done. Humphrey always believed and lived by, if you worked hard, things in life that you wanted would come to you.
The one thing which Edgar Berman never realized as it was not said, is Hubert Humphrey thought from the heart. By that I mean he was not an idiot liberal who came up with ideas to solve his butt hurts in snowflake whining, but when there was a problem which touched his heart, he went to that South Dakota Scandinavian place that his socialist father taught him, and thought out a solution which could not be defeated. There was an intellect behind Hubert Humphrey which is what is missing from liberals and most Conservatives today.
In summing up Hubert Humphrey, Larry O'Brien produced the best epitaph in if Humphrey had made the White House, he would have been an outstanding President, because Humphrey studied everything and knew the mechanisms of how government worked.
Humphrey always thought JFK brought something special to the White House which Humphrey did not have. O'Brien stated that Humphrey had the same special quality which would have delighted and led America where she was already willing to go, but that Humphrey just had the JFK quality in a different way.
I do not want to leave people thinking I am swayed by HHH in his politics, because I am not in the least. We are being destroyed in the world of kindness and virtue which Humphrey created which has debased the soul of America. There is a vast difference between poor immigrant children farmers and business people needing help from the government and having the self discipline to stop taking hand outs once they were able, and the current world where we have million dollar politicians taking Social Security and gold standard health care, because "they paid into it or it is a perk". That is what is destroying America is the majority are stealing from the Treasury because they can, and the regime is dumping more 3rd world Visa Vermin stealing from the accounts in massive debt, as Pentajew is rigging the system for bankers who fund the Pentagon war machine to keep the world police state repressing all peoples.
Edgar Berman once stated that Vice President Spiro Agnew wrote a note to Humphrey when he had cancer and said he was sorry he was ill, but he was sorry that Humphrey was soft on communists too. That seemed harsh, but that is the measure in the goodness of Hubert Humphrey in the good things he accomplished, never provided the self discipline he had to stop being a welfare tramp.
Hubert Humphrey was an adult and could limit himself. That can not be said of any politician now from Minnesota to DC, and can not be said for the majority of Americans, as the minority of Americans are being genocided as they hang on in disciplining their lives as the world whores around them in debauchery and indulgence.
Once Hubert Humphrey died, his leadership vanished, and what was left was a failed Bible thumper in Jimmy Carter and a successful staff humper in Teddy Kennedy, which produced a female rapist in Bill Clinton and an international rapist in Barack Hussein Obama.
Hubert Humphrey brought American blacks to the White establishment, but a foreigner in Barack Obama established a racism which blackened the light of the world.
There simply are no more Hubert Humphrey's in the left and worse yet, there are no Edgar Berman socialist there to be the conscience of the souls who need to be reminded what sinners they are.
Nuff Said
