“Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.”
― Winston Churchill
I used to see some ironic wisdom in that quote and it’s various adaptations. However, I have come to realize that it is confused in message by assuming [somehow] that it takes a compassionate heart to be a liberal when liberals actually are very heartless in that they will promote widespread suffering and misery if it enables their political lust for power.
