What was it Winston Churchill said .... If you're not a liberal when you're young you have no heart. If you're not a conservative when you are old you have no brains. :D

I would delete the mail.
And personally I think the mail is formed in a way that is misleading, as well as using an inconsistent definition for liberal. It is BS.

I can't stand the constant bickering between liberal and conservative. Elimination of either would basically create tyranny. Without Liberals, there would be no social security, medicare, or civil rights legislation. Without conservatives, you'd have men marrying chickens and late-night tv without any jokes in them.

True. A society shouldn't have to set up an agency to force people to help each other, but if it has to then I guess it has to

While I've always been pretty far toward the conservative side (maybe have no heart?... but my fiance always makes fun of me for crying during Disney movies)... I love this quote...

Especially what it says about people who are conservative when young, and liberal as they get older... I've known a few of those.

Excuse me, but I was not making a point only asking for opinions about the email and /or would it be forwarded or deleted. :beer2:

I don't really believe it's a just representation, so I'd probably delete it. I bet it makes Conservatives feel good about them selves, though, I guess something should be out there to lighten them up a touch.

Then OP would be the person who sent the email. :P

But obviously it's something you decided to share with us for a reason, and my suspicion is that the reason is beyond "should I forward or delete?"
