The "Happy Warrior" was right....
"It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped." 11/1/77


Doesn't that distinguish us from the opposition? Doesn't that define our liberal principles? I think Hubert H Humphrey had it right.


Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism.

2. Humphrey was a great American.
Utopians destroyed his chance to be President and gave us Nixon instead.
