Re: Dept of PEACE ... (better)

[kerouac818]

The basic idea of "peace" is to have people contribute to each other from their heart.

The basic idea of "government" is to have people contribute under the threat of force.

Take away the guns and weapons and how effective would any government be? They rule through violence.

To create a dept of peace with money obtained by threat of violent coercion [IRS] is laughable.

[ingenue182]

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

I believe we are in the 'fight you" stage for the DoP. It will be a win-win for humanity when the bill is passed.

Blessed are the peacemakers

Kucinich, I love you so much I could just clone myself and vote ten million times for you. I've been saying for a long time that ignorance and a lack of proper education cause almost all, if not all, of the problems we face today. I truly hope those people in Iowa know you're the greatest choice America has ever had!

[Unitedforpeacenola]

If you like Kucinich's words, watch "I Have a Dream in New Orleans." It is a speech about a nonviolent resistance movement in New Orleans.

[enjoiskaterguy]

Do not feel disgruntled about his Rebuplican status. He is a libertarian and a devote constitutionalist who is using this corrupt two party system we have (because thats the only way to get any mainstream media support) and using it as the tool to get his message of freedom.

[enjoiskaterguy]

Dennis has some good ideas but unfortunatley he doesn't have a chance. The media is wayyy to biased and have already determined Hilary the winner. But on the other side, The Republican candidate is up for graps still. Thats why I support a man who has got a chance in the elephant side...Dr. Ron Paul. He is the champion of our constitution and is expinentially growing in popularity every day by leaps and bounds.

[youngThrashbarg]

After you make a Department of Peace.. all you need are the Department of Truth, Department Love and Department of Plenty.

[enjoiskaterguy]

Department of Peace??? I have heard of that before....isn't it sad that we have to have a Department of PEACE. It's just rediculous to train people to believe that through government we can have peace. How about just "The People" standing up and be peace movement instead..if you people want limited government and constitutional values check out Ron Paul...Kucinich is my 2nd favorite though.

Ron Paul is #1

[khataroo]

what a simple concept!

[truewealth]

Dennis was the first to come up with the idea for the Department of Peace. He also is the only candidate to oppose going into Iraq from the beginning plus not funding it. I will vote for him. Are we evolved enough for him? Yes. He outshines Ron Paul times 10 and is better than all other candidates. Gravel would be a good VP. Tell CNN and Fox to give Kucinich more airtime. (Then transcend them).

Thank you, ajwyocd

2. Pentagon strategist Thomas P.M. Barnett also proposes a DoP, with photo of Marx hinting at Le Internationale (corporations), really a dept of "peace-keeping", to interface with a global multi-national army of the G-20. Hint: They use guns to enFORCE peace, or at least pacification (to use a Vietnam phrase). Zbig Brzezinski says "passivity and defeatism" are positive social values. Pentagon war strategy is to create 'hopelessness', lack of will to resist US power. What's up with that DoP?

[dilbertgeg]

1. if we NOW had a DoP, then Bush would have appointed the DoP cabinet leader, someone like Negroponte, torturer of Latin Am, or Eliot Abrams, convict from the Reagan era. Like when Reagan's Sec of Interior said that protecting the enviro was not important since Armageddon is coming anyhow. So what diff could a cabinet DoP possibly make? (continued)

[nanderson65]

The Best. He is my candidate.

[linguy22]

Kucinich Charming, Kucinich Compassionate, Kucinich Sincere, Kucinich Knowledgeable, Kucinich Honest, Kucinich Experienced, Kucinich Fighter, Kucinich Intelligent, Kucinich Winner, Kucinich President. GO DENNIS, GO!

P.S. How do I rate this (by stars?). Obviously I am tech challenged.

[BlueRoseRocketBand]

Dennis has our vote. Beware the pandering politicians. They are mutating our Republic. America needs a true leader and visionary. America needs Dennis Kuninich to become President. If you need us to play anywhere anytime Just ask!

[chocolategeese]

The Department of Peace is the boldest and greatest iniative for peace! Dennis doesn't just care about the big issues, but the "smaller" ones as well. While peace is a huge issue on an international level, Dennis is equally concerned with the thousands of cases of domestic violence that we (and other countries) endure all the time. With Dennis in office, peace would be realized on a WORLDLY basis and a COMMUNITY basis.

GO DENNIS!

[Go2All4ThePeople]

Will the Dennis_the_BIG_Interest's_Mena­ce please stand uP?

WOULD YOU only vote for the candidate that is genuinely committed to the issues that wouldn't necessarily grab the headlines, that nonetheless will deal with the travesties that our PRESIDENT needs to tackle?

So what will happen if the united states gets nuked what will the us do just summit and say o wheel it was only 2,000 Americans and then say at least we didn't kill any civilians in other countries the children need to know that there are people out in the world that are trying to kill them if we get invaded the children wouldn't know how th defend them selves. Just think about it.

[ecobill1]

Do you really think that Iran will invade us or any other country.  the only thing they can do is a nuclear bomb in a suitcase if that is feasible someday. Cut them off, clean alternative energy not oil from the Middle East. I am sick of oil running our country.

[skatecky3]

I'm not talking about some middle east countries i'm talking about a future threat like china or possible Russia.

[ruthlindsay]

He voted to authorize war with Afghanistan. I don't think he is so naive to believe it is never necessary to stand aggressively in defense of one's dignity.

The way we run into wars in this country has been an affront to our dignity.

[texasvotes]

Great video!

Dr. King, Christ and Gandhi!

[astanhope]

We love Dennis!

[giggsdadragon]

I like that but can he defeat Hilary and Obama?

[songbird129]

God I hope so!

[songbird129]

the dept of war was renamed to... the Defense Department. To learn more about the campaign to establish a Dept. of Peace visit thepeacealliance dot org

[Bluvenus]

THANK YOU so much, Dennis, for your awesome response to my YouTube debate quesion! I was very disappointed that they didn't use my quesion in the debate, since NO other candidate seems to even consider this amazing idea of a cabinet-level Dept of PEACE. Yet you, Dennis, not only have the brightest & most comprehensive plans, but YOU actually take the time to respond to us directly! YOU really are THE MOST AMAZING PERSON I HAVE EVER MET!! Big Mahalo!

[ElCarcho]

I think a Department of Peace is a much better idea than a Department of War!

[breaks0]

We don't have a dept of war anymore, but point taken.

[Elaina43]

Congressman Kucinich, feel free to also quote atheists and agnostics who talk about peace and our responsibilities to mankind.

[fredweil]

sounds good to me...

[westphalianprinz]

This is the best idea I've heard in a very long time.
