My dad, after a discussion in my young adult years turned political: "if you're not a liberal when you're young, you don't have a heart. If you're not conservative when you're an adult, you don't have a brain."

Well, dad, I have made it to adulthood with brilliant children and great relationships with them to boot. I'm still a screaming liberal and you're still a racist that is gargling the balls of a wannabe dictator.

Brains = pull up the ladder like we did, kids! What do you mean you don't have a ladder to pull up?

That same quote is in a lagwagon song. I think it's a sound byte from the movie Jacob's Ladder, because there's a few others on that album from that movie but I might be wrong.

Too lazy to search it right now but I think that quote was originally attributed to Winston churchill
