I heard these a few times when I was a kid(Late 80's). They always stuck with me. This was in an italian/ Irish neighborhood. Catholic obviously. I never understood why they hate liberals so much when they infact benefit financially from them.

"Liberals are only liberal until their neighborhoods turn black"

"It's easy to be liberal when you live on Madison avenue"

My mother was pretty liberal, so I kind of took offense to them, which is dumb to inherit a viewpoint I don't even understand and then want to argue it, but idk, what does politics unchained think?

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 brain.

-Churchill

Churchill was an even bigger piece of **** than Nixon.

Debatable, but close...

I'd go:

young con = brainless ...
old con = heartless... and still brainless...

And cons are only con until they need Medicaid and demand that SS check.

Medicare bro.

How does this account for black liberals?

Also, how does this account for the fact that liberals tend to be on the extreme ends of income and education charts?

I know it was just stupid, racist moaning, but still.

phil ochs addresses this rather well, i think.

İ cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad the commies were thrown out
of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
as long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I read New republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I vote for the democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
But I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal"

Cool song bro.

Nixon more liberal than Obama though

So, he's saying that people of all ages should be libertarian?

I love Phil Ochs even though I disagreed with his politics. I still listen to his songs and know most of his albums. This is one I agreed with:

This is how it read until the 1950s.
