If they can't get things done, they are not trying
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
For those who are not ignorant, the name Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota would define him as a liberal, but Humphrey once in a teaching episode with his friend, Edgar Berman, lectured him earnestly when Berman queried how Humphrey survived in White Minnesota progressing Black Civil Rights.
Humphrey emotionally explained, "You are wrong about the votes and voters in Minnesota. I am a Constitutionalist, and there's more to the Bill of Rights, than meets the political eye. The American voter has a deep rooted sense of fairness and decency which colors their attitude to every civil rights issue (Christian foundation) But to bring it out you have to give them a down to earth example that strikes home; maybe the Ku Klux Klan could come to Minnesota, and begin burning crosses o nteh lawns of blue eyed Norwegians instead of Black skinned Africans.
"Don't get me wrong as it's easy being a liberal in Minnesota with no real Black problems, my stand on equal rights was easier to take than if I had been running in Mississippi. Still the American voter applies everything to himself. The farmer and small businessman figured if I could fight that hard for Blacks who could not vote for me, than I'd certainly do a hell of alot more for people who could".
It is the People who could which was the Art of the Humphrey Possible in how he passed all of that human advancement legislation now bastardized by the Obama Political Elite.
Humphrey understood that legislation in Congress, which Donald Trump and his champions in Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan assured him they could pass the Trump Agenda which became the Wall Street agenda in rationed death, that in order to make Congress work, one had to work the members of Congress.
Humphrey studied the most successful arm twister in Senator Lyndon Johnson, as "From your orange juice in the morning to your bourbon nightcap, it is all about politics or no politics. The Senate is not a part time job. It is the care and feeding of each member".
Humphrey treated Southern Democrats and Republicans as he did Northern Liberals, because that is how Congress got things done. He was always polite and persuasive, but he never forgot his opponents problems or what the interests were of their voters back home, as Humphrey was asking them to put their necks on the line.
Humphrey was a farmer advocate and he would be with Republican Jesse Helms when necessary backing Helm's tobacco bill for the Carolinas as Helms would be there for cereal grain legislation when Humphrey needed it for Minnesota.
That is what is lost in all of this as numbers of current politicians stole the Humphrey playbook in appearing before the Democratic National Convention to gain national attention. These frauds like Mario Cuomo, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, launched national careers in being nobody on nobody issues, when it was Hubert Humphrey in 1948 AD in the year of our Lord who appeared before the DNC and gave the game changing speech on Civil Rights that Democrats walked out on.
People do not realize that Adlia Stephenson, the prominent democrat next to Harry Truman was supposed to give that speech, but when it was considered, the democrats said, "Let Humphrey do it as he is expendable".
Hubert Humphrey gave that speech willingly to destroy himself for civil rights, and that can not be said of any of the frauds who followed using that platform. Humphrey though believed in that speech and willingly went forward even if it would destroy him, because it was the right thing to do.
This is not to say that Humphrey had a martyr complex, because he did not, but he was highly intelligent and once the stars were out of his eyes in his first mistakes, he undertook an education in learning his weapon of Parliamentary Procedures based in the frailty of humans in the Senate in such an effective way that he would use every trick and trade as Patrick Henry would, as Edgar Berman noted, to pass legislation.
It was all give and take with Hubert Humphrey and Lyndon Johnson. It was none of this George W. Bush handing Teddy Kennedy the education legislation and leaving it to communism, or the Donald Trump WWE theater of the art of the ineffective in claiming to want to get things done, and making certain by his feckless choices that nothing would be accomplished in MAGA.
Hubert Humphrey though understood the process, and it is why in this deep state confinement Americans find themselves imprisoned in, that nothing is done as under Ronald Reagan as not one person who appears to be decent knows how to work the mechanisms of passing bills, and everything is left to run the clock out for the Nazi conglomerate candidates in McConnell and Ryan.
This is an example from 1970 AD in the year of our Lord which shows how anyone can move legislation through the Congress if they know the mechanisms.
Berman was having breakfast with Humphrey when a Senator who had 18 years on Congress approached their table, saying he was in political trouble if he could not get his bill passed before the coming election. Humphrey always the teacher, produced his "envelope" as he always had them in his jacket pocket and front and back, Humphrey scribbled a step by step process of what needed to be done, from how to move the bill to who to move in the Senate, and the bill passed.
Humphrey said as this politician left,
" You know he' a pretty smart fellow. If only he'd spend more time in his committee and less time looking into poverty in Monaco, he'd be a damned good senator".
Humphrey understood that a Senator had to work the Constitution in order to get things done. When the Iron Range in Minnesota was imploding, it was Humphrey who passed legislation producing a way to use taconite from the rocks there which is an iron ore, which kept that democratic region alive for decades longer. That was not accomplished with Twitter rages, but with knowing the Constitution, knowing Parliamentary Procedure and knowing the failed humans in Congress.
Civil Rights, Community Action, Youth Opportunity, Medicaid, Nuclear Test Ban, were all Hubert Humphrey impossible bills which became law, as he kept working that mechanism, not by being crooked, but knowing his passengers and throwing the lever to move that train ahead on the Constitutional track.
The Lame Cherry is featuring Hubert Humphrey to educate each of you in informing you, how each of you is being suckered by Congress, the Courts and this White House, in telling you that MAGA just could not get done. Yes it could get done if Humphrey could pass socialist bills in that era of Conservative America, because the same mechanism is there for a minority to pass safeguards for the People, it is just the people involved have zero intention of allowing you back your liberty and freedom to enrich yourselves, as this has all been about Bush Obama centralizing power and wealth from the many to the hands of the few.
Now ask yourself with all your geniuses in the right and left, in why none of them tell you these things, but instead in the same Mockingbird conflict have you pecking at each other, instead of producing a country again which is about you having a great life which is what all of you desire and are being kept from. It is the control as the feudal few do not want their criminal monopoly they have created distributed to millions of Americans again, so they can have the Dream.
The Dream of Hubert Humphrey was genuine for the advancement of all Americans in that dream, but there were elements who looked at that spending from Government who saw the dollar signs and found an easy way to steal money as it was legalized by Congress.
I would have hoped that by the 21st century that Constitutionalist Hubert Humphrey would have been his same honest self and realized that Human Rights of being Equal is not Sexual Deviants given rights. I would have hoped that Humphrey would have said it had all gone to far and that someone in Congress would have used those old Patrick Henry and Hubert Humphrey mechanics to right America again.
This dissertation closes with the fact that there is a way for the minority in Congress with Trump leadership to pass all of MAGA, but they are not doing it. Now that is either from ignorance or deliberate sabotage. You will have to be the judge of which it is, but when the White House is not using the bully pulpit to extract movement from Republicans as Teddy Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan would have, I have more than suspicions, and when I see these Ted Cruz types who are supposed to be brilliant in not finding the levers that Humphrey did, then those suspicions are the facts that they are all frauds and there is not a Constitutionalist in government
Nuff Said
