On the bright side one can think of the quote attributed Churchill's quote about being a liberal in youth but considering the demographic of the youth vote, i.e. Muslims, the UK is doomed.

I never agreed with his statement about not having a heart.

And I dont know a whole hell of a lot of liberals who through the decades have become even moderately conservative.

UK deserves the government is has chosen. They’ll never learn the lesson about what happens to a country when they run out of other people’s money. All they had to do is look across the Chunnel to France and the diaspora of the productive class when Hollande came into power.

Britain did learn the lesson after the horrible 70s but that generation is gone.

No one under 21 should be allowed to vote. 25 might be better.

In our modern world, I think the age of majority needs to be raised to 23-26. New studies are showing that the frontal lobe, what controls rational decision-making, is not fully formed until about your mid-20s. Youngsters need to be out on their own, pay rent, mortgage, taxes, etc. before they get the right to vote.

As it stands now, they have no skin in the game and will vote themselves goodies.

Yes, definitely a big reason for yesterday. The ‘youths’ have never been through any trials and tribulations like their elders have. They BELIEVE in Socialism. They don’t know any better. May should have been playing the Beatles’ Taxman, repeatedly. ‘There’s 1 for you, 19 for me’, from when the highest tax bracket was 95%. The youths have no idea that what they are embracing is ruinous policy.

It is because of life experiences which should give intelligence and understanding of Natural Law——but now “life” experiences are only people being programmed with agitprop of the perverts and Marxists 24/7-—so that intelligence isn’t gained-—only stupidity and warped. evil perceptions. People can not debate ideas or control their base emotions when dealing with others—since little children never practice real life situations anymore. They are totally controlled so agency is destroyed (thinking for themselves is never ever practiced and habituated).

Until we take back actual living and real life human interactions (unstructured environments/uncontrolled) in our lives, and actually read great books (to improve intelligence with great ideas) again-—we are doomed as a species.

Reason and Logic, when gone (not used), will atrophy and we end up being ignorant animals, who use emotions devoid of reason (and virtue) for voting. It is the Marxist plan-—to destroy Western Civilization they have to destroy the minds, dumb us down (Common Core), and warp and control all perceptions (TV, Hollywood, Newsspeak) so we destroy ourselves and all relationships.

Truth (God) (Our Constitution) was banned from the public square and skools by the 60s in America and earlier in Europe for mass indoctrination into satanism (scientism/Marxism/socialism (slavery).

Without God, we have no individual Natural rights-—only State granted and totally controlled unnatural, vile “rights”. And our thoughts and desires will be controlled from cradle to grave so vice is virtue and boys are girls-—for the NWO of total dehumanization (totalitarianism).

WOW A LIST!!!!

MAYBE 40 PEOPLE ON THERE!!!

All I know is about 1000 liberals who haven’t changed a bit since their 20s to their 40s and 50s.

Get out of here.

Hope you didn’t hurt your wrist searching for that IRREFUTABLE nugget of evidence :)

GREAT post and that’s what I have seen, sadly, as the mini liberals grew into middle aged liberals.

NO openness to ideas or reason.

Protecting Stalin, regurgitating extreme left talking points.

There’s no God in their life, so reason and natural law evade them.

It has to go this way. The only solution is dramatic and invasive austerity. No country ever did that voluntarily. They prop up whatever is going to hurt the least, until it collapses of it’s own weight.

This is where all countries are headed, even the US. The world’s FIAT money is on the brink of collapse. Expect world war.

Read Ezekiel 38 and 39. Read Matthew 24. read Daniel. Read Revelation. It’s pretty clear, especially with the eye of a 21st century citizen of the civilized world.

My daughter’s best friend went to an elite college for one semester. Realized it was not for her and dropped-out. Enrolled in a trade school and became a welder. She is doing fantastically well. As a black female welder she is always in demand.

They may have angry over Brexit, but the Labour Party was not running against Brexit.
