Sir Winston Churchill Quote
"If you’re not liberal when you’re 20, you have no heart. If you’re not conservative when you’re 40, you have no brain” Sir Winston Churchill. (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965)
Lets ponder this thought. I am 28 years old, I am very Conservative, I vote, I support the United States Constitution, I never have considered myself a liberal, and I know what I want to see from my local politicians in Jackson, MS and my Federal politicians in Washington, DC.
I am not a fan of big government nor have I ever been. If by being Conservative you associate me with wanting laws that prohibit such behavior as selling alcohol on Sunday (which is illegal in some places here in MS and in the entire state you can't sell liquor on Sunday), or queer marriages, or any other Religious Right stereotype then you are wrong. However wanting the government out of the private lives of its citizens, and while not condoning such previously said activities, not being against them being outlawed does not make me a liberal.
I know a lot of people over 40 that are liberals. They also live in fairytale land. "Lets take what doesn't belong to me and give it to people who will not work for it." "I am against something [guns] so it should be outlawed." If a liberal is against something it should be outlawed. If a conservative is against something he (or she) simply doesn't own, do, or promote it. If a liberal thinks its a good idea then it should be mandated to own or have forced on you. If a conservative thinks it's a good idea then he (or she) uses it, buys it, or promotes it in a way that is not pushy.
So with that said what are you? Conservative or Liberal? Mind you there are Liberal Republicans and Conservative Democrats so lets not go along party lines here.
