That's strange, I thought most folks went to Amsterdam for the Cheech and Chong treatment. ;-)
I don't see "Kill terrorists before they kill you" on that poster.
Ditto. I've forgotten the Barf Alert tag before. This thread qualifies.
Memo to Chronicstupe, there already is this "wonderful" organization which constantly preaches appeasement, making it the de facto "Peace Department." It is called the "US Department of State!"
Ole Wally is a perfect example of why the university of Texas at Austin is overrated....in more than just sports.
Thank God that school is not an indicator of our state.
Did I hear someone say "meditate?" Cool, I love to meditate. From my FR Homepage: "Of note, I frequently meditate on the Republican Party Platform of 1900. This platform included balanced fair trade, a strong national defense, strong national sovereignty, responsible currency management, and a generally pro USA and pro Western Civlization stance. It is the essence of a rare time in our history where we were financially, geopolitically, and spiritually ascendent all at the same time. I think that we still don't fully comprehend the great harm done by Czolgolz' bullets. I urge all here to meditate on these things, and to consider how to move the GOP from a receding, reactive, increasingly liberal stance, to a stance of taking initiative and becoming the leader in both political and geopolitical development of the USA and Western Civilization. Some will label me a throw back to primitive ways, but as I see it, my ways are reflective of the true future and of the primacy of the greatest civilization ever to grace God's green Earth."
It would quickly grow to control the entire government, at which point we'd be about where we are now.
I am all for this department....we should also give the department around 100 nuclear warheads...a carrier battlegroup and a few wings from our airforce.....we can also put the Marine corp under the departments control and lets promote peace all over the middle east.
We have State Department already, that's enough, perhaps too much as a matter of fact. We don't need another agency full of bureaucrats sucking at the public teat and doing absolutely nothing for the country.
Stick a sock in it Wally.
I rethought the thought that peace is the interregnum. Peace is anomalous. In sports speak, the halftime.
War is the natural human condition and those who think differently are either gone or will be.
What Walter really wants to say is that the UN should rule us.
A waste of human skin.
2. Cry, (almost)
Once upon a time I respected this guy. But that was about four decades ago. Now he seems to be mentally trying to live up to his name, Krankheit. (Denke[?] ich, mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut jetzt...)
On the other hand, I might go along in a small way if we both rename and refocus the euphemistic "Defense Dept." back to its original, the "War Dept."
Can you feel the love?
"I thought most folks went to Amsterdam for the Cheech and Chong treatment."
Some go for the "window treatment."
Wally is a dork. I too prefer War Department rather than the wussified Department of Defense (though DoD has a tiny bit of an ominous sound).
Cronkhite is the Ellis Island version of Krankheit, or ... sickness in German. Well, the only thing to say is that a "Peace Department" WOULD bolster this nation's image, as a pathetic, head in the sand, ass in the air, politically correct giant version of Canada or New Zealand. Boy, would that scare away the terrorists.
