Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. Sir Winston Churchill That pretty much sums it up for me. And it was soundly proven last Tuesday. Watch as Sir Winston is proven correct over the next couple of years--that the majority of people voted for Obama with their hearts instead of their brains.

Winston was a good man, but I didn't need him to figure this out on my own. -

I came up with a similar quote during my day ... As men grow older, they become more conservative. As countries grow older, they become more liberal. And death quickly follows. Ah, that probably makes less sense. -

Don't be scared of change and Progress. Be scared at those prefer to relish in the old ways of thinking and attempt to harm the new. This is what this is. We have to take the GOOD with the BAD as we all readily excepted with the Bush administration. But we didn't expect for him to sell us out. I guess you were not affected yet by this bad recession many are now admitting we are in and you haven't lost your pension or home yet or you would be glad and dancing to see this man with his Wallstreet WELFARE GO!It's sad day in this country when we have to give WELFARE to the RICH! It took a Democrat to right those wrongs(which strangely enough Daddy Bush ALSO put us in) and hopefully we can get that magic back again. Go OBAMA,GO democratic CONGRESS and SENATE! -

No, I like it alien, has a certain ring to it. -

Daddy Bush? Wow, neither Bush created this mess. Pull your head from the sand and do some research. This is the mentality that gave us Borax. You will learn to hate him soon enough, or at least hate what he is doing. He is a William Ayers / Jeremiah Wright style liberal socialist. Money makes the world go around. When you start punishing the successful and rewarding the worthless, then you will see real recession. I will agree that none of the bailout money should go to the nutballs that were running the banking show. They should have to give back anything they walked away with. Success should not be punished, but failure should be. Some of those guys should go to jail if you ask me.

Alien: Why do you really oppose restoring the tax code to pre-Bush levels? I do believe Obama wants to restore the pre-Bush rates on the wealthy and cut the middle class taxes some. I don't see anything wrong with that. I am not a believer in trickle down economics as the republicans obviously are. -
ALIENated said on Nov 11, 2008....
Because I am a believer in trickle down economics. Even Charlie Gibson knows that higher taxes are counter productive, as he mentioned in one of the debates between Hillary and Obama.

Alien: I do believe taxing businesses is counterproductive, because they merely pass most of the tax on to the consumer. However I do believe the wealthy should pay a higher rate on their income. Check out Andrew Carnegie's "Gospel of Wealth." Obama's advisors yesterday said they would seek tax breaks for small businesses. Did you notice who comprised his economic team of advisors? Several were heads of major corporations. Democrats are not nearly as anti-business as some make them out to be. -
ALIENated said on Nov 12, 2008....
Honestly, I do not give a flip about taxes either way, except that I think overtaxing is counterproductive, as did Reagan. I care more about the social agenda of Democrats. And I care that neither party is addressing illegal immigration and a lot of other things that are ruining our quality of life.

Churchill was an unreconstructed warmonger, and an unprincipled opportunist who stopped at nothing to ascend the heights of political renown. True, he had a way with words - although his famous ''we'll fight them on the beaches'' speech was in fact plagiarised. But he used his facility with words to express some truly hideous points of view. He was an unashamed anti-semitic and racist, who on more than one occasion expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler. He also advocated gassing the Kurds when the British Empire got involved in Persia, and during WW11 ordered the destructuion of the remnants of the French navy - at a cost of1500 French lives - when the French baulked at scuppering their ships on his command. A cruel and heartless man, he revelled in the idea of war as a means of ensuring the survival of the fittest. So please spare us the trite adages that emanated from this odious man -

I did not know Mr. Churchill as well as you seem to know him. I just like and agree with that quote. I do appreciate that he helped to beat back Hitler and his crew, Socialists of the worst kind.

Socialists, Alien? And presumably, you appreciate Uncle Joe too since he also had a hand in beating back Hitler and his crew. -

No, I agree with General Patton as far as Russia. We should have pushed into Russia and subdued them when we had a chance. Think what that would have saved the world considering how Japan has turned out after we subdued them and installed a democracy. Russia is still causing us trouble like in Iran. They would love for Iran to nuke the whole Middle East, which would push Russian oil closer to being the only game in town.
People often say God was vindictive in the Old Testament days, when he told various leaders of Israel to totally wipe out their opponents. When that order was not carried out, those opponents often rose back up and caused Israel trouble at a later time, just as Russia has caused us trouble ever since WWII. Just think if all of Russia's efforts had been channeled for good instead of evil, if they had been free instead of enslaved by Socialism and Communism.

Yes, but Alien, Russia no longer claims to be 'socialist or communist' Where have you been these last 10 years? So, if Russians are enslaved now it's got to be because they've been enslaved by capitalism. Interesting.
Also I find it it a bit rich hearing an American complaining about other countries causing 'us' trouble. If ever there was a country that bullied, browbeat and exploited other countries, why its the good ol' US of A: From the Monroe doctrine to the Chile, from the Phillipines to Nicaragua, from the United Fruit company in Honduras to Vietnam, America has arrogantly tried to force smaller nations to do its bidding, and overtly or covertly interfered in their affairs - all in the name of American capitalism. I think a little candour and honesty is called for here, Alien. I may live in the UK, but I have nothing but contempt for British imperial history. You guys need to be a little more objective about the gung-ho antics of your country.

America does what has to be done in most cases. It is the greatest nation on earth in my opinion. People still beat a path here (I wish that was not true) because it is such a land of opportunity ... or is was. That is why we fight so hard against people like Obama, people who do not get it. People who want to destroy the things that made America great. And I was talking about Russia since WWII. It is still pretty messed up thanks to Socialists and Communists.
