I think I'm trying to say that we are up against an intractible enemy and also remind what Churchill said decades ago. Anyone who is not a liberal when young doesn't have a heart. But anyone who has not become conservative once fully grown up doesn't have a brain.
"If you are not liberal by the time you are 20 you have no heart. If you are not conservative by the time you are 40 you have no brain."
This quote has been attributed to Churchill many times, but no one is certain and it is not found in any of his writings. Just thought you would like to know that for future reference.
