No, I didn't miss it, but Churchill never said anything like that at all. Period.
I don't know why you're upset with me for your error. Churchill never said anything at all like that at all. You need to look up the definition of paraphrase.


With your definition I could paraphrase Washington's Gettysburg Address.



I did look it up and guess what?


Paraphrase= 1.
a restatement of a text or passage giving the meaning in another form, as for clearness; rewording.
2.the act or process of restating or rewording.




Uh I think that is exactly what I did. Maybe you should look some thing up because you apparently don't know what you are talking about. Seems I was right and you were wrong.

It is very apparent you do not know the meaning of paraphrase. And BTW Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg address.

Since when are quotation marks used to enclose a paraphrase?

I never said every single person becomes conservative. There will always be some that for whatever reason, too many brain cells killed from whatever substance or the irreversible lobotomy effect which results from drinking too much of the liberal kool-aid, that will never see the light.
