Teddy Roosevelt Quote on Liberals

Quote:

"To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth." - Theodore Roosevelt

I was perusing through the internet today and came across this quote. I was unable to source the quote but couldn't help thinking about its' merits. If you sit back and think about it, there is a certain native intelligence that just percolates to the surface.

Teddy would be a called democrat by today's standards.

Whatever ol' Teddy may or may have been, an "astute observer" is definitely one of them.
I wonder why facts do not enter into a liberal's process in formulating an opinion ?

That's along the lines of a quote I heard recently...attributed to Winston Churchill I think...it went something like "Sir, if you will stop telling lies about me, I will stop telling the truth about you."

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer "Present" or "Not guilty."
