Revise the quote: "If you aren't a liberal at age 16, you have no heart
If you aren't a conservative at age 40, you have no brain." -Ronald Reagan

my revision:
If you aren't a liberal at age 16, you have no heart.
If you become a conservative by age 40, you have no hope.

"If you had your finger on the nuclear button throughout the 1980s, you have Alzhemier's".

Not very catchy, but true.

4. Here's another quote
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

John Kenneth Galbraith

6. If your aren't a liberal at age 16, you have no heart
If you later become a conservative, you're a fucking asshole.

7. If u have no brain, u'll be conservative from birth: if you have a heart,
you'll be liberal forever.

PS reagan is now in the lowest reach of hell. I expect he will be there a while.

10. If you're still a liberal at age 16...
..you haven't started drinking coffee yet.

If you're not a conservative by age 40, you haven't started drinking Kool-Aid yet.

12. Let's not overcomplicate things.
Edited on Sat Feb-19-05 08:43 AM by kiki
If you aren't a liberal at age 16, you have no heart.
If you are a conservative by age 40, YOU HAVE NO HEART.

Or to simplify even further:

IF YOU'RE A CONSERVATIVE YOU HAVE NO HEART.

Pretty much ditto on the 'brain' thing too...
