"Show me a young conservative and I'll show you a someone with no heart.
Show me an old liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains."

Sir W. C.

I'd love to know the real provenence of this one. I've seen it cited, in
variations, to Churchill, P.J.O'Rourke, and a few others. The common
variation is: If you're young and not a Democrat, you have no heart. If
you're old and not a Republican, you have no brain.
As with most such stuff, it's funny, but completely off the mark......some
of the smartest liberals I've ever known came to that position late in life.
On the other hands, I've seen keen support for a conservative position by
young men in my lifetime.
