Keith Ellison is a Democrat congressman from Minnesota. He just took a little trip to Norway paid for by your tax dollars, by the way. He went to Norway in order to reinforce his support for a bill that would create a Cabinet-level Department of Peace. No, I'm not making this up. An entire Cabinet devoted to "peace."
So why did he have to go all the way to Norway? Because this is apparently where you go to be indoctrinated into the ways of peace and social justice.
This idea of a Department of Peace gets even better. Guess who authored it? None other than our favorite Democrat Dennis Kucinich! (I wonder what his absurdly hot wife thinks about it?) When describing his trip to Norway, Ellison gave us a little insight into the war in Iraq. He says, "This conflict could have been avoided if we had a stronger cultural connection to peace. It's not just the will, but the skill to make peace." Did you get that, folks? It's because we don't have a cultural connection to peace. If that is what he has to say about American culture, what could he have to say about his own Muslim culture? Yeah .. we're talking about that Keith Ellison. Our Islamic member of Congress.
This whole Department of Peace idea is nothing but whiny political correctness at work. Does anyone care to take a stab at just how we would define "Peace?" Has the ferret figured that one out? The Soviets defined "peace" as "an absence of opposition to world communism."
Let's put a bit less effort into this pandering to the idea of peace ... and a bit more into a definition. Then we'll know what in the hall we're talking about.
This is a great idea!
Next we can have a department of Sugar Cookies and Peppermints!
Let him who desires peace prepare for war.
As far as I’m concerned, the Department of Defence is the ‘Dapertment of Peace’;
Dept of Rainbows & Unicorns
MN voters apparently got what they deserved.
Should the DOJ be re-christened the “Department of Love”?
He’s also a Muslim, BTW. You know, “religion of peace” and all...
I personally think these people ought to be taken out and have the pulp beaten out of them.... and then go home peaceably.
“Dept of Peace” proposal from an adherent to the “religion of peace.”
Makes perfect sense - in a sick, twisted, muslim sort of way...
Let me to be the first to say wecome to our new muslim overlords.
We already have a department of Peace. - Its called the State Department.
Now all we have to do is buy everyone a puppy ...
The Khmer Rouge had their own definition, the peace of the grave. The fields were very peaceful once the killing was over.
The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.

I thought the whole “Dept of Peace” idiocy was thought up by Dennis K, AKA Marvin the Martian.
A Democrat, a Muslim and a Kucinich-ite
From Kucinich’s website:
On September 14, 2005 Congressman Kucinich introduced H.R. 3760 (first introduced July 11, 2001) a bill to create a Cabinet-level Department of Peace and Nonviolence which embodies a broad-based approach to peaceful, non-violent conflict resolution at both domestic and international levels.
Then again, Liberals in Seattle are retards.
