Letter: Liberals and change


"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." This
quote, erroneously attributed to Winston Churchill, contains a great
deal of wisdom regardless of who said it.

Wisdom is defined as knowledge coupled with good judgment, hence the
transition from liberal to conservative, for most. Given that 88
percent of college professors vote Democratic, or liberal, suggests a
disconnect between educational excellence, learning what works and
what doesn't, right and wrong, knowledge and judgment. Experience is
the best teacher, for some anyway. Liberal writers learn little from
history, and what they do learn is tainted by the belief the many
should suffer ethical destruction for the unproven beliefs of a few.

The greatest example of this disconnect is drawing a correlation
between the quality of our freedom, and the mention of religion in any
governmental platform. It appears a selfishly disingenuous argument to
yoke the erosion of personal freedoms to the slightest mention of
religion in public service. To the contrary, evidence suggests that
the erosion of our personal freedoms is more tied to the removal of
those mentions, which to me, appears a much larger offense than a
liberal's sensitivity to things they personally disagree with.

Having a heart and a brain needn't only exist in OZ.
