Quote of the Day

Congress finds the following:

(2) In declaring, 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness', the drafters of the Declaration of Independence, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World, derived the creative cause of nationhood from 'the Laws of Nature' and the entitlements of 'Nature's God', such literal referrals in the Declaration of Independence thereby serving to celebrate the unity of human thought, natural law, and spiritual causation. - HR808 IH

Perhaps it's just me, but the so-called "Department of Peace and Nonviolence" that Reps Kucinich, Kilpatrick, Conyers, Rangle, et at, want to institute is rather frightening. They're looking to institute a new cabinet position under religious pretext and give it power over every other cabinet position, most notably the departments of Treasury, State, Defense, and Education; institute governmental approved propagandist education for all school levels; interfere in local and state government, manage the media and free press; interfere with diplomacy with the U.N. and with foreign powers, and to set policies involving conflict within the home.

Frankly, the idea of having a religious leader with powers in the U.S. that overarch all government at all levels, conflicts within the home, and interaction between the U.S. and foreign powers is rather frightening, particularly when it's Dennis Kucinich and Carolyn Kilpatrick whose religious leader is being foisted upon us.
