I believe that the quote is "If you are not a liberal at 20 you have no heart, but if you are not a conservative at 40 you have no brain".

It died a long time ago. I dunno when, but somewhere along the line, it died and was replaced with "progressive," and while both liberal and progressive were embraced by the Democratic Party, it's more accurate to say they embraced the party rather than vice versa. Today, gotcha politics, a vacuum of political alienation, frustration, and the cold realities of the jungle-like planet we share have created a demographic that is all to eager to attack, oppose, and all the while offer no better suggestions. Could anything be less liberal; less open-minded, less academic, less open-armed, less embracing? Instead of a demographic that reaches across party lines to find and instill solutions, we have Kos, Air America, and the moonbattery claiming their position as moderates, liberal-no, sorry, progressives while at the same time being completely based on confrontation and opposition. The deliberate dividing of America by the "progressive" left (formerly known as liberals) is disgusting, and a time of political reckoning is approaching. It grows closer and closer each day. Already I can hear see the Groundhog coming out of his hole on 2/2/08, hearing the ruckus, and declaring that there will be but 3 more days of winter.
