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.
You’re right, it’s bound to be more Orwellian than orgasmic, but you can forgive a man his fantasies...
All the cars with "Department of Peace" on them will soon have to pay $7 to cross Lake Washington on the floating bridge.
Benjamin Rush proposed a Department of Peace back in 1792. If George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams thought it wasn’t a good idea then, I see no reason for it now.
“The opposite of war is not peace. It is slavery.” - good Lord, I’m quoting James T. Kirk
As far as Im concerned, the Department of Defence is the Dapertment of Peace;

My sentiments exactly.
I agree(the dept of defense is the dept of peace).This dept. of peace idea is an embarrassment to any reasonable person,but I guess our communist side of govt. can battle the Dept. of Defense every time they want to do anything.
DOD used to be the Department of War ... I believe.
I like that too !!!
We done got one that the Liberals run. We call it The State Department.
Think you[re kidding? The DNC has probably already appointed a study group — with specific instructions to find (after spending at least 5o million dollars of Government grant money) that this is the greatest idea since the invention of the wheel — as in “wheel and deal”.
SHAME ON YOU!!!! You know I would never do a thing like that.
Your plagarism caerd is hereby suspended for 30 minutes.
Not when the best he can do is talk about HIGH-CUT dress and shaking her HAIR. That's downright seditious.
You need a little more subtlety and imagination, my man. A clingy high-cut dress can be better than a low-cut dress because the cut starts down low on the side and rides right up into the Promised Land. And when a woman shakes her hair in your direction (or plays with it), she’s often looking for you to shake her world....
Fair enough?
That works for me...and it works every time. ;-)
