[BurtWorm]

The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist. — Winston Churchill

3. Especially as rightwingnuts and bush himself looove to compare Winnie

to bush.

Fact is, even their hero Ronald Reagan thought bush was a stupid MFer. So would Winnie.

Our Founding Fathers would have called bush a traitor.

4. Winston Churchill new what he and his country were fighting for:

the rights and freedoms of a great nation. He would never have been party to stripping these rights from the people because of a threat from either inside or outside the nation. What *ss and Co. have done is strip our nation of the reason we have always been willing to fight for: the Constitutional freedoms.

7. Winston would think it business as usual, and take a slug of Victory Gin

Oh sorry, I thought you meant Winston Smith.

I think Winston would approve of the BushenFuhrer after his last visit to room 101
