[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Reminds me of the old joke: if you are under 30 and you are a conservative, you have no heart; if you are over 30 and you are liberal, you have no brain.

Not intending to nitpick, but I hate that quote. I understand what it's trying to say, but it's wrong. It doesn't explain the college students who started ProtestWarrior, or my eighteen year old, staunchly conservative college freshman son, either. And he's not alone, by any stretch. And he doesn't parrot his old man's views, either. ;>)

When Churchhill (I think it was) said that, it was true. Today's youth are rebelling against the 60's generation. Kids will always rebel against the "establishment". Even if that means they agree with the non-establishment, meaning conservative, parents.

Right. I hate the quote as well as a guy who turned 20 last Monday.

I don't think most of you understood my point. I am under 40 years old myself. That is why I found the comment so funny. I know plenty of young conservatives, I am one of them.

Lighten up.
First it is not a joke.

It is a quote from Winston Churchill and the subject was Socialism.
