I answered you as to why he is a fascist (and several other variations of totalitarian socialist, and indeed, was raised by a communist father). You ignore the answers by myself and Dfwgator.

What’s in his heart ? The same thing as what countless other people in history have desired: limitless power. Not something acceptable in our Republic, but more typical of third world hellholes.

You seem to have a bizarre emotional attachment to Huey Long, one of the most dangerous political demagogues this nation ever produced. Why is that ?

And you’re damn right I’m grateful he was stopped by any means. If this megalomaniac had ended up as President/Dictator, the damage he would’ve inflicted to our nation would’ve been fatal.

Well I’d say Long fancied himself more a caudillo in the making ... .....I also think he did indeed have an affinity for the poor in spite of his appetite for power. I duck hunted with his son Russell both at Matthews Brake in the Mississippi delta and near Lake Charles ....Russell was pretty much typical southern democrat of his era....conservative socially and new deal about cash policies and evolving with the wind segregationist and machine politic oriented ....the Longs controlled Louisiana politics way beyond Kingfish assasination but Russell was no fascist .......Russell was polite and affable to be honest....not a great caller but decent wing shooter ......

More importantly was Edwin Edwards not a stud....hot wyfe and a kid at like 84....a man after my own heart...incredible....she is fine as frogs hair
