the great Winston Churchill, "any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart, and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains..........
I guess the ending is always the punchline......

Churchill lived in an era were you had the opportunity to think for yourself and come to rational conclusions. Today, the nimble minded lazy youth of this country (for the most part) are inundated with talking points that they embrace as pure fact and then they callously go on with their lives like nothing else matters, except what they have adopted and are to lazy to think their way out of.
Look around you, listen to the malcontents who literally cannot debate their point of view for as little as a mere 15 seconds without saying something stupid like the President is a retard, or Hillary has thick calves.
Hey! where the F*** is my ipod dude!!!!!!!!!

I hate to do this, but the actual quote is,
"Any 20 year-old who isn't a liberal doesn't have a heart, and any 40 year-old who isn't a conservative doesn't have a brain."
Although, I find it pretty ironic he said this considering the fact that he was elected to Parliament as a Conservative, but subsequently changed to the Liberal party.

There are some things that churchill was very intelligent about. and, there were things taht Churchill obviously knew nothing about and this is one of those things he was clueless about. BTW, I'm a woman over 40 and a liberal and I'm still more wise than Churchill's statement will ever be.

I have been trying to figure that out for a while....
my prethought was that a man over 30 has established himself and does not want much change,,,, or the changes could tear everything he has worked for down,,,,,
liberals want changes,,,, and elderly are afraid of change....

I think that was a stupid statement by an otherwise pretty wise man!
EDIT Besides, I'm a woman--I can be a very wise Liberal as long as I want to be...LOL
