[A]s Bush hunkers down in Crawford for an extended Thanksgiving vacation, protestors can be hauled off by the police:        
A dozen war protesters were arrested Wednesday for setting up camp near President Bush's ranch in defiance of new local bans on roadside camping and parking.
   As Vice President Cheney reminded us this week "disagreement, argument, and debate are the essence of democracy." Just don't let your disagreement get too close to the ranch.

if bush was a REAL president, he would see that the protestors had what they needed to be comfortable and then send over thanksgiving dinner... it's honorable to honor disagreement...
