This is not a left-over April Fool’s joke. It’s for real, though I’m still having a hard time believing that anyone would seriously propose for legislation a piece of folderol that reads like a bad Hollywood script.

Charlottesvillain’s post from last week alerted me to this newest stupidity concocted by the Democrats in the House of Representatives. It’s hard to know whether to laugh or to cry at the sheer ignorance of history and humanity these lotus eaters display.

They must dream up new legislation by reading old John Lennon lyrics and smoking peace pipes. They’re smoking something, that’s for sure – and they’re using flames from the burning Constitution to puff on their corn cobs.

Get this:

H.R. 808: Department of Peace and Nonviolence Act

HR 808 IH

110th CONGRESS

1st Session

H. R. 808

To establish a Department of Peace and Nonviolence.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

This bill would creates another leviathan bureaucracy which would stick its nose into just about every area of our lives including the education of our children in the govt run indoctrination camps where they will be reading all about the great peace nicks of our day like Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink’s favorite treasonist Democrat John “Slow Bleed” Murtha- real American heroes of the Communist American Left! That is sure going to contribute to the next generation’s ability to protect and defend Western Civilization from the throat cutting savage Jihadists. Yup, I’m sure that just hearing about our future “Department of Peace” is making the Thoat Cutting Jihadists quiver in their turbins. Here is section #102 of the bill.

(2) in cooperation with the Secretary of Education–

(A) commission the development of such curricula and make such curricula available to local school districts to enable the utilization of peace education objectives at all elementary and secondary schools in the United States; and

(3) work with educators to equip students to become skilled in achieving peace through reflection, and facilitate instruction in the ways of peaceful conflict resolution;

(4) maintain a site on the Internet for the purposes of soliciting and receiving ideas for the development of peace from the wealth of political, social and cultural diversity;

(5) proactively engage the critical thinking capabilities of grade school, high school, and college students and teachers through the Internet and other media and issue periodic reports concerning submissions;

(6) create and establish a Peace Academy, which shall–

(A) be modeled after the military service academies;

(B) provide a 4-year course of instruction in peace education, after which graduates will be required to serve 5 years in public service in programs dedicated to domestic or international nonviolent conflict resolution; and

(7) provide grants for peace studies departments in colleges and universities throughout the United States.

These leftists have lost their minds.

Rightwing Nuthouse Blog has some other departments the Dems may want to contemplate:

DEPARTMENT OF HOLLYWOOD ADVISORS

What better way to reward the Dems friends in Tinseltown than with their very own cabinet level department where rather than pretending to be taken seriously, they actually would be listened to by people at the highest levels of government.

I wonder if Angelina Jolie would be willing to serve?

entire list here.

And that is really what the 08′ election should be about- The “Peace” Party vs. The “Peace Thru Strength” Party. And given a choice, I’ll bet the American people choose the latter.
