The vast power of Rep. Kucinich, already great, is growing still more oppressive! Not only does the congressman run for the office of president every four years, now he wants to push American foreign and national security policy in a dangerous and untried new direction. We must stop him and his 70 supporters in the Congress before it is too late. The idea of a Dept. of Peace should terrify every red-blooded American. But such a monstrous move can be halted. The other members of the House of Reps should use their Constitutional powers to vote that the United States is in a continual state of war. Remember, as the war votes of 1812, 1846 and 1917 made clear, only a bare majority is required. There is no need to declare war on any particular country. (Read the Constitution if you doubt this.) Remember: WAR IS PEACE! TRUTH IS LIES! IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!

For the truth about the U.S. Department of Peace and Nonviolence – view the bill at http://www.congress.org HR808

Not only is Congress standing behind this bill, but tens of thousands of Americans are too.

I will read further, but of course, on the surface it sounds strange.

The fact is, though, whatever we do to change the destructive direction of this country will have to be different.

We have been at war since WWII, some pretty big, some just little wars – all over the globe.  It has made military suppliers very wealthy and their politicians. 

The cost is unimaginable, money wise.  The cost in American lives is unacceptable, and the cost of innocent lives around the globe is just mind boggling.

And – worst of all – it doesn’t seem to be working.

Yes, we were constantly threatened with imminent attacks from – well, someone.  It kept us all afraid not to go along with the various administrations over the years.  Over the years, different boogeymen have been presented and different wars fought.

So, now we find this country, bankrupt.  In debt to a communist country for the money to throw this last war.

We find ourselves unable to even produce the necessities of life for our fellow man.

We find our financial institutions destroyed.  The outcome may very well be a global financial system.

While our government uses American soldiers, American monies to further the agenda of globalist corporations, our country is declining at a very alarming rate.

Why not give something else a thought?

Of course, it won’t mean big government, no bid contracts – so it probably will be denounced out of hand – and trounced on.  I mean, really.  We can’t have any action that cuts out the obscene profit-making corporations—can we?

If the Democratic government does create a Department of Peace and Non-Violence then the job of Secretary of Peace and Non-Violence should probably go to Bill Ayers or his wife. Or maybe we could have the first Cabinet Co-Secretariat.

I would also like to see a Departmant of National Self-Hatred and Guilt. Or if not a Department, maybe a Bureau or Agency, or at least a Special Advisor to the President. Rev. Wright should be the top dog here.

A Department of NSHG would be preferred over the smaller entities, of course, as the larger organization would allow for a greater number of new Presidential appointees (payback for especially generous Obama supporters) and require significantly more tax revenue (or debt) for its funding.

Mrs. Obama could probably play at least a symbolic role in this area (National Self-Hatred & Guilt) as well.

National Suicide or joke?

Paul, we’ll leave the jokes to you. You’re HILARIOUS!

GT-

Please leave the sarcasm to those who are able to employ same. (see post # 1)

GP,

Wow. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement and appreciation.

Was I just not being sarcastic enough for you, or did I fall short of true sarcasm somehow?

Or were you just tweaked that I chose Ayers, Wright, and/or Mrs. Obama as targets for my pathetic attempt at sarcasm?

Oops, sorry. I’d better leave irony to those who can employ it—I admit I’ve had very little practice ironing. (But in certain circles my puns are notorious. They are, after all, alleged to be the lowest form of humor—falling just below sarcasm.)

GT

stick to the puns. I have heard them referred to as being simultaneously the highest and lowest form of humor, and I concur. When they’re bad, they’re good, and when they’re terrible they’re GREAT!
