One CIA boss once said that a man who isn't a bit of a communist in his twenties doesn't have a heart, and who remains a commie past forty doesn't have a brain..

I didn't know Winston Churchill was a CIA boss.

And the quote is: “If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”

Ah.. so then it was a favorite quote of one CIA boss... I think the one that got paranoid and started a mole-hunt in the sixties or seventies.

I guess it's easy enough to call for taking from the producers and giving to non-producers until you have aquired enough for them to start taking from you.

You also have to remember that "liberal" Democrats back in the '60's were a lot more conservative than what we're seeing today......heck, JFK would be considered the leading Tea Party candidate with his platform (lower taxes, increased military involvements, hardline against foreign enemies, etc.)....
