“Compassion shouldn’t be weak spot, and concern for the unlucky shouldn’t be socialism.”
Humphrey in his prime.
“Behind each profitable man is a proud spouse and a shocked mother-in-law.”
“We search an America capable of protect and nurture all the fundamental rights of free expression, but capable of attain throughout the divisions that too typically separate race from race, area from area, younger from previous, employee from scholar, wealthy from poor. We search an America ready to do that within the increased information that our targets and beliefs are worthy of conciliation and private sacrifice.”
“Liberalism, above all, means emancipation—emancipation from one’s fears, his inadequacies, from prejudice, from discrimination, from poverty.”
And a particular shout-out from Humphrey to the MAGA cult: “The appropriate to be heard doesn’t robotically embody the correct to be taken significantly.” Amen.

Ten years in the past in C&J: January 13, 2013
JEERS to the return of the dolts. The 113th “Do Nothingest” Congress convenes as we speak. On the one hand, they will ignore jobs, local weather change, immigration, infrastructure enhancements, gun violence and civil rights. However, they will hack away at girls’s rights, voter rights, Obamacare and Sandy catastrophe reduction. On the opposite different hand, they will identify some put up places of work, maintain the debt ceiling hostage, and take a document period of time off whereas getting paid $174,000 with full advantages. I say this within the most interesting George W. Bush custom: heckuva job.

And only one extra…
CHEERS to proving the dummy incorrect.  13 years in the past this week I obtained an URGENT e-mail from some conservative hack who needed me to know one thing crucial.  It is—as most of those conspiratorial screeds are—very lengthy, however this is the Loopy Cliffs Notes model.  Being a fan of alliteration, the primary sentence gave me goosebumps:
The discredited, democrat funded ‘DailyKos’ website continues with it is every day doctored, dishonest, democrat funded pro-Obama polling numbers.  At this time’s doctored ballot reveals Obama’s approval numbers a full EIGHT factors increased than the common of all of the revered, impartial, trusted polls and a full TEN factors increased than the revered CBS Information ballot launched earlier as we speak.
No one crosses our Keyboard Kingpin. Nobody.
Let’s be clear, Kos is taking cash from democrats to physician opinion polls and the boot-lickers and sycophants that help Kos are afraid to problem Kos.  Keep in mind, dissenting opinion, debate and argument usually are not allowed on the Kos website.  In case you disagree with Kos you aren’t allowed to put up articles on the democrat funded Kos website so not one of the info concerning doctored Kos polls and different Kos lies will ever seem on his website.  Very like the low rated Olbermann program, dissent on the ‘DailyKos’ is forbidden! Â
The proof and historical past of the phony doctored polls on the democrat funded DailyKos irrefutable and hanging, sadly the nameless so-called writers that put up tales on Kos usually are not allowed to criticize him or they will be banned for all times.
And that is the place yours actually takes the “democrat funded” danger of a lifetime—as I do yearly presently—by stepping off the ledge and testing the emailer’s grand concept.  As a Each day Kos “bootlicker” that is troublesome, however right here goes: Markos, you’re a butthead.  The remaining is in God’s arms.  Please pray for my soul.
Have an excellent weekend. Flooring’s open…What are you cheering and jeering about as we speak?
