I have a suggestion for the uniform.....brown shirts.

Hippies...

Stupid beyond all possible belief.

Government is not capable of solving these problems, and most of what they would attempt to do would exacerbate them, not solve them.

Being that she is a lying liberal, peace building means causing fights and in general community agitating.

The Ministry of Peace. Is this the beginning?

Huh, the patchouli bills alone would crush us..........

I propose the `Dept of Minding One`s Own Business`. It is staffed by nobody, has a budget of zero and who`s purpose is to remain undefined.

Didn´t we see that Peace Dept. scenerio in Charlie Chaplin´s, ´´The Little Dictator?´´ ...Socialist tyrants during the last century have LOVED employing so called, ´Depts. of Peace!´ Apparently they still do?! -YIKES!

dem pols embrace socialism?!

This IS from The Onion, isn´t it?

An idea who´s time should never come.

...and of course it comes from California, bringing us the best examples of governing bodies that continue to push for ever-more government spending in the face of huge, mounting debt with no end in sight. What the heck is wrong with these people?....oh, I forgot, they aren´t spending their own money and there is no oversight, accountability or consequence to them, the spenders. So much fun to spend money when the checks are written out of someone else´s checkbook.

"This culture of violence that we live in is unacceptable," Lee said earlier this month. "On our streets and across the globe, the pervasive presence of violence has infected the lives of millions, and it is far past time we address it as a nation.

Tell that to your buddies in Hollywood, to the mayor of Chicago and to the music industry that promotes violence in its music.

As for "addressing it as a nation", why not start in the schools where God, the Pledge of Allegiance, prayer and actual education should be reinstated? How about tests actually mattering? How about children getting graded on performance instead of good intentions, and where teachers teach something other than class-envy and America-hatred?

Realizing that those days are, unfortunately, long gone, it´s a nice bit of nostalgia for remembering when America´s culture was NOT so violent and coarse and "unacceptable".

I´ll tell you what´s unacceptable, Congressman Lee: another bureaocracy into which American taxpayer dollars are poured with nothing in return.

This bill is DOA.

Absolute madness! The last thing this country needs is another bloated stupid federal bureaucracy doing absolutely nothing but soaking up our tax dollars! When will we ever learn?

Can we please get rid of all these communist Democrats?????

I´m sure that she will be fighting to get this bill passed. Democrats are always "fighting for you" as long as they really don´t have to show any moral or physical courage.

More government waste from the Democrats.

We already have a Department of Peacebuilding--it´s called the U.S. Marine Corps/Corpse.

Barbara Lee is so far to the left, she makes Pelosi seem moderate...

To coIn a phrase, "What fresh hell is THIS?"

Are they going to dig up Nevell Chanberlain also?

Peace through strength is all that works, the other options let everyone play these idiots as dupes...

It right next to the Department of Unicorn preservation

It could be called the Department of Redundancy Department....

Have these morons ever heard of the State Dept?

Yeah, well, when I take over, I have a new Department I will institute.

Though small, it will be busy, at least at first. I will staff it with small groups of large, surly men. It will be the Department of Take This Moron Out Back and Whup the Snot out of Him/Her.

Any objections?

Oh -- I will also demand that budgets be instituted for things like bill-writing-and-introduction, and hearings. [I´m coming for you, Waxman.] If she´s still in office, Lee will get $7 a year.

Just think, they could change the national anthem to Kumbaya.

Whopper Jrs are not very appealing when being hurled, spewed. Dept. of Peacebuilding. OMG, here come the fries!

#7 has the best idea I have seen or heard all day. However, in my pedantic way, I must point out that it is "whose" not "who´s"

This is the problem with electing people with just barely a room temp IQ. There is already a Dept of Peace. It´s official name is Department of State and that viet nam vet John Kerry is in charge of it.
