Actually, it's another from Winston Churchill (who as I remember changed political party himself, probably at age 30). Actually, it's probably not. This from the authoritative Churchill Centre website http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/...fm?pageid=112: "If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." There is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this. Paul Addison of Edinburgh University makes this comment: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of [his wife] Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?" -- -Elliott Drucker |

"Judah" wrote in message ... Correct. They want to just take other peoples assets and keep them. Wrong. Conservatives don't want to take other peoples assets at all. |

"Peter Gottlieb" wrote in message et... And the "conservatives" are different, how? Conservatives object to excessive government spending, especially when it is used to force social engineering. Brian Riedl at the Heritage Foundation notes (quoted in part): The federal government is projected to spend $21,671 per household in 2004 — the most since World War II and $3,500 more than in 2001. Here is a breakdown of where that $21,671 goes: -Social Security and Medica $7,165 -Low-income programs: $3,479 -Interest on the federal debt: $1,460 -Federal employee retirement benefits: $835 -Unemployment benefits: $451 -Interest on the federal debt: $1,460 -Defense: $4,240, Veterans benefits: $565 -Health research and regulation: $619 -Education: $583 -Highways and mass transit: $400 -Justice administration: $389 -International affairs: $320 The programs listed above cover $20,506 per household. The remaining $1,165 is allocated to all other federal programs, including farm subsidies, environmental programs, space exploration, air transportation and community development. |

"Pete" wrote in message ... Then why the fight against gay marriage? What fight against gay marriage? Why the fight against abortion? Because all current abortion methods kill a child. When an abortion procedure is developed that does not kill the child the fight against abortion will end. Why the fight against pr0n? What's pr0n? Conservatives are all for the rights of corporations to dump waste oil into fresh water supplies, for the rights of employers to force their workers to take horrrible physical risks and then not be compensated when they're injured. They're in favor of telling women what they can do with their bodies, in favor of snooping in private bedrooms, in favor of snooping on people's computers. The way things are going, the only good conservative, is a dead one, and in case you're wondering, I'm 53 years old. I see what happens when idiots like Chimpie are in power. Or evil criminals like Reagan and Nixon. As I said, you've bought the propaganda and rejected the facts. Open your eyes, open your mind. |

"C J Campbell" wrote in message ... Seems a number of people have forgotten that liberalism has abandoned liberal principles. Modern liberalism is just monarchy dressed up in new clothes. It was not so long ago that the people who today call themselves liberals were called aristocrats and Tories. Bingo. Few people today understand the differences between classic liberalism and modern liberalism. They are polar opposites. |

Because they support all GA aviation, not just the average 182 pilot. Matt Earlier you said "average G/A" pilot, now you're saying "average 182 pilot." So, does that mean that G/A, overall, needs all those small airport GPS approaches? |
