Kucinich Reiterates Support for 'Department of Peace' After Conn. Shooting

After the mass shooting Connecticut today, Rep. Dennis Kucinich reiterated his support for a "Department of Peace."

"It is long past time that we take an organized approach to addressing the violence in our society and that is exactly what the proposal for a cabinet level Department of Peace is all about. We must reject violence and take an organized approach to averting violence," said the congressman in a prepared statement.

Kucinich also said, “Today’s shooting was a tragedy of unimaginable proportions. Our hearts ache for the victims and their families. While we don’t know why this attack took place, it is an attack on education, on public safety and on our children.

"For those of us outside the direct impact of this tragedy, our mourning turns into a search for ways to ensure that these shootings do not continue to happen.

"There is an undercurrent of violence in our society that is becoming more powerful. Whenever it surfaces it brings great tragedy and we pray: never again. But ‘never again’ keeps happening. Malls, schools, movie theaters; these murders attack our sense of community."

The only thing Dennis did that I agreed with.

He got his piece.

They say “Peace, peace” when there is no peace.

The Dept. of Peace will need to maintain gulags for those who refuse to be peaceful.

This country is ripe for destruction by violent men who will laugh at our metrosexuals before killing them and taking the women.

Your post made me envision the stupid hipsters in my area throwing their man-purses over their shoulders and running for their lives in their capri pants.

I had to laugh.

That's good.

The BAFTE already snagged "Freedom is Slavery".

Further evidence why the guys with the butterfly nets are probably chasing Dennis at this moment.

Once we have a “ Dept of Peace”....this sort of stuff ...will be chalked up as “good for business”. And will help “ document the need “ for further funding....and that “ more of these tragedies” mean we just haven’t “quite a big enough” budget or enough regulation.......ya know after all.. We ‘ve still got that pesky 2nd Amendment......

Gee! I’ve never seen that picture before. I’ve heard rumors about that but didn’t know for sure. Now I know.
