If a conservative posts a thread like this, they are being a typically intolerant conservative.
If a liberal posts a thread like this... oh wait, they don't.

Make your mind up PC, you just post a silly list supposedly pigeon-holing conservatives and liberals, then you say there aren't any typical conservatives.

speaking of Liberals, "CHANGE" and Socialism

You all know who "Maxine Waters" Democrat/Socialist is right?

Check out a few of these YouTube links especially the one that Ran LIVE on Fox News tv.

If you aren't a Liberal at age 18, you have no heart. If you're still a Liberal at age 30, you have no brain.

What is even funnier is the origin of that quote, it came from French leader Francois Guisot who said "Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head." It has been plagiarised and reworked by numerous others.

Genuine Disraeli quotes include: "My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles."

"A Conservative Government is an organised hypocrisy."

And "Damn your principles! Stick to your party."

It's also been attributed to Clemenceau and, most often, to Winston Churchill. It does sound like something he'd say.

Anyway I am glad to know the true origin of my favorite quotation. Oh, and nobody likes a smartass haha

Yes, there is a lot of hypocrisy in the op but, sadly, too much of it is true.
