By unanimous vote the San Francisco Board of Supervisors endorses legislation to establish a U.S. Department of Peace and Nonviolence

San Francisco , CA. - San Francisco joined the Bay Area cities of Berkeley, Oakland, Palo Alto and San Jose yesterday when its Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution endorsing creation of a cabinet-level U.S. Department of Peace and Nonviolence. By doing so, this sixth-largest metropolitan area in the country (encompassing some 5.4 million residents) joined the ranks of 20 cities voicing support for HR 808, legislation that focuses on innovative and proactive approaches to violence prevention.

"We have to remind elected officials of all parties that peace is patriotic...." said HR 808 co-sponsor Rep. Barbara Lee after the bill was reintroduced in Congress on February 5 th. "If we had a Department of Peace, we'd be dealing in a real way with gun violence, and domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and all the awful violence that's taking place because of the cutbacks of funding and disinvestment in the American people. In the words of the great warrior for peace Dr. Martin Luther King, peace is not just the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice. A Department of Peace would embody that ideal."

"For a tiny slice of our discretionary spending ($8 billion, or less than one percent of the U.S. budget), we can significantly reduce violence..."

How's the government's "War on Poverty" going? The "War on Drugs"?

ROFL-- WHAT A JOKE!!!!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Cindy Sheehan would be the cabinet secretary.

[vpintheak]

We have one already. It's called the Department of Defense.

[ryan71]

Stole the words from my mouth.

What friggin planet do these a$$clowns inhabit?

[Chode]

thank you...

[Rembrandt]

Therefore, we should all feel perfectly safe walking the streets of Oakland at 2 AM.....riiiiight!!!

[Fred Hayek]

San Francisco is not part of the United States.

[outofstyle]

What friggin planet do these clowns inhabit?

Apparently they inhabit the actual world. WE, on the other hand, live in the idealized past.

I feel sorry for my children.

[Yogafist]

Stupid hippies.

[Trteamer]

If you don't turn in your guns, the Dept. of Peace will hunt you down.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

As the ROMANS said, " If you want peace, Prepare for war."

[JSteff]

LOL. Yours is the most appropriate response to this article.

[MarineBrat]

The only body politic more irrelevant than the Sad FagFreakshow Board of Stoopervisors is the Berkeley City Council.

[tcrlaf]

This was Kookcinich's 2004 Idea.....

To be follwed by the Ministry of Truth, Reality Control Administration, The DoubleThought Commission, and Department of Thought Police

[Aikonaa]

And to think that San Jose used to be a Conservative Republican city not so long ago.

[vpintheak]

Must be Uranus. Makes the most sense to me.

[goldstategop]

Moonbat idiots - the greatest instrument of peace is the U.S military... which they hate. Without it, there would be perpetual bloodshed in the world. The truth is armies have established peace more successfully than all the diplomats and professors throughout history combined.

[TheLion]

I guess we can send our enemies flowers.

[garyhope]

" proactive approaches to violence prevention"

Kill all the Muslim Islamofascists and leftist traitors.

Simple.

[Cementjungle]

What friggin planet do these a$$clowns inhabit?

It's called San Francisco.

[Lokibob]

Didn't I read last week that SF was asking the U.S. Navy to help them secure some land for their football stadium?

Now, if I was the Navy Secretary I would tell them to ..... up a rope. That sounds like a job for the Department of Peace.

[Lokibob]

You forgot the "Department of Redundancy" department.

[OrioleFan]

How about a Department of Offense?

[Calvin Locke]

"Peace through Superior Firepower".

[T Lady]

Induces serious eye rolling ;-).


What a bunch of dope smoking crackpots.

[Prost1]

They have so gerrymandered the election districts that only death and disease among them will be the hope for equality for conservatives.

[upsdriver]

"San Francisco Wants US Department of Peace"

And they would be willing to riot in the streets in order to get it.

[LtdGovt]

The stupidity of these people is truly stunning.

[Smokin' Joe]

Peas? Whirled Peas?

Y'all want the USDA...

[REDWOOD99]

We can send them flowers but we can't call them enemies.

[GOP_Raider]

Hey, how about a "War on 'finding someone to hit in the #4 or 5 spot in the order so the offense is not dependent on Bonds', Hmmmmm"?

[Theresawithanh]

"All we are saaaaaaaaaay-ying, is give peace a chance."

The denizens of San Franfreaksco are not at all like you and me, you see.

[spunkets]

Just what the hell is peace supposed to be. Surrender? Islam's got that covered. These people are a joke!

[Kozak]

Actaully I'll trade em. they can have their useless "Department of Peace". If we can get back the "War Department" and dump the "Defense Department". We had a much better batting average with the War Department.

[rbg81]

I thought this was the US State Dept.

[Empireoftheatom48]

I think the Army should surround this den of the unclean, starve them out. Rinse and repeat.

[endthematrix]

The US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency is about what that is.

Some see world peace...I see world police.

[rbg81]

Someone should tell that that SAC's motto used to be: Peace is our Profession. To have peace, one must be prepared for war. This wisdom is thousands of years old, but what do these bozos care about wisdom?

[cubstoseries07]

Come on don't you know if we had a Department Of Peace the islamoterrorists would stop attacking us?

[still_learning]

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is a bunch of fools!

They are against American's military power but drive a hybrid that sports a "Free Tibet" bumper sticker!

[mkjessup]

Why couldn't Mrs. O'Leary's cow have had a calf that moved to San Francisco?

[Tzimisce]

...the Congress has the power to declare war - not this new beauracracy.

[Zeroisanumber]

Cute.

[Cobra64]

We have one already. It's called the Department of Defense.

Which used to be the War Department.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

"Department of Defense" is bad enough. Frankly, I liked it much better when it had the more masuline and no-nonsense name "Department of War." That was good enough for the period 1789 until September 1947. That seems to be the date the pansie assess took over.

Hippies...hippies... they say they want to save the world... but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.--Eric Cartman

Lord, what fools these hippies be. A department of peace, to be used for... entitlement programs.

Don't ever let anyone tell you that there are no serious side-effects to smoking pot.

[Lancey Howard]

Who cares what San Fransicko wants? We need to build a fence between San Fransicko and America.

[The stupidity of these people is truly stunning.]


It truly is.
