Heart vs. brain?

Or, rather, lack of brain vs. brain?

Arbat says that the famouse adage of Churchill’s — “One who is conservative before he’s 20 has no heart, and one who is liberal after he’s 30 has no brain” (or something like that) — always struck him as a bit too categorical.

Does it mean that this kid — who has more brains than at least the majority of Americans, plus the majority of the government (including all its so-called “experts”) — has no heart?

This kid is great. I think he's wrong about the Republican Party going more conservative in the future. As soon as they get any kind of power they will display the same lack of Conservative values they displayed while Bush was in power.

As this kid gets older he's going to become more Libertarian, not because he will change his views, but because he will realize that the Republican Party no longer represents the ideals he considers to be correct.
