Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them. " - George W. Bush " You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test. " - George W. Bush " I think we ought to raise the age at which juveniles can have a gun. " - George W.
