Winston Churchill once said -
To be 25 and not be a liberal means you have no heart.

Not much evidence he said any such thing.

Note that those that are quoted refer to socialism, not liberalism.
I know that liberal is a four letter word in the US, but please
spare us the arbitrary and unnecessary misquoting.


The only difference between a "liberal" and a "socialist" (in the US) is
that people who call themselves socialists have the integrity to admit
what they are, instead of trying to disguise it with cutesy buzzwords
and deceptive terminology. I disagree with socialists, but I respect
their candor.

Only because so many folks fail to distinguish the two. What happens
to real liberals who are not socialists? They've lost the use of
the term.
