" City Councils across the U.S. are acknowledging the practical impact a Department of Peace will have on reducing violence in our nation and abroad. Thirty-seven local governing bodies have endorsed so far, including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, Oakland, San Francisco , San Jose and more.

Yes, when you submit and resign yourself to your fate as a victim and cease fighting, that is peace-that is what they mean by peace, that is why they call Islam a religion of peace.

I haven't seen this one yet:
She relayed a story, apparently an Internet story going around about a bum on the street holding a sign that says "Vote For Obama, I Need The Money." A businessman walks by the bum and enters a restaurant where he meets a waiter wearing a tie that says "Vote for Obama." The businessman is served his lunch with perfect service. The businessman is demanding, taking up an extra ordinary amount of the waiter's time. In the end the waiter did a fantastic job. He worked hard to keep his customer happy. But to no avail. The businessman left no tip. Confused and angered he asked the businessman why no tip was left. The patron stated that the gentleman outside sitting on his ass asking for money would get his tip, just as his tie requested.And with that, the waiter understood exactly how it felt to work hard and sacrifice, only to have others who sit on their ass and do nothing enjoy the fruits of his labor, risk and sacrifice.

A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him. Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies. Dean Acheson
I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air. Margaret Thatcher
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. Winston Churchill
No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it. There can be no appeasement with ruthlessness. There can be no reasoning with an incendiary bomb. Franklin D Roosevelt
Appeasers believe that if you keep on throwing steaks to a tiger, the tiger will become a vegetarian. Heywood Broun
The one sure way to conciliate a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured. Konrad Adenauer
You may gain temporary appeasement by a policy of concession to violence, but you do not gain lasting peace that way. Anthony Eden
I trust that a graduate student some day will write a doctoral essay on the influence of the Munich analogy on the subsequent history of the twentieth century. Perhaps in the end he will conclude that the multitude of errors committed in the name of 'Munich' may exceed the original error of 1938. Arthur Schlesinger, Jr

Of course the Atlanta city council is like 100 percent black and 98 percent Democrat. And Atlanta has been doing a lousy job of protecting it citizens culminating in a botched drug raid killing an innocent 92 year old grand mother who's only mistake was to install suveillance camera to keep the crooks out, The Narcs decided she was a dealer and pulled a no knock drug raid she defended her-self and died for it. The narcs performed a lousy cover-up and three of them are in jail serving some serious time. Atlanta, where the police kill the innocent and ignore real crime and corruption.

A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him. Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

When will the pansies ever understand you only have peace when someone is stronger, has the most guns, biggest army, best missile defense, etc.? Do they ever read a history book?

Since Michelle and the girls didn't go to see her when on vacation in Hawaii a few months ago, and, now that she's dying, well, that doesn't warrant a visit from the grandkids to their beloved Toots either.

I've got no special information, except I live in Missouri which is widely considered a toss-up state and I can tell you I've seen, throughout the state, way more McCain signs than Obama signs and way fewer Obama signs than there were Kerry signs in 2004. Bush won Missouri in 04, and McCain will win Missouri in 08.

The lessons of Athens and Sparta (and Revolutionary France) were well known to our Founders and they specifically rejected a Constitution ban on a standing, professional Army.
They enshrined a well armed populace to address the potential problem of a military coup.
Rather then dilute the military to protect our Constitution; arm yourself.

re: #140 6pat6
We HAVE citizen soldiers - they are Guardsmen and Reservists! I do NOT want a bunch of draftees calling "bullshit" and "chickenshit" when push comes to shove! They are in the military, drafted or not, to BE in the military and follow the lawful orders of those above them! Drafted or not, every service member IS already duty-bound to serve, period! Why do you think a "questioning" force is a good thing, somehow? Were YOU ever in? What good comes from a military where the junior members get to pick and choose the fight? You sound like an Obamaton, pal.
Stop frothing, honey.
It's a healthy thing to have questions in the Army. The Armed Forces of the USA have trained draftees in the past to obey orders and win wars, and they can do it again.
But honestly - doesn't it worry you that one day, a professional military might become disconnected in thought and feeling from the civilian population, and begin to decide for itself what is important and right? It's happened before.
Also, think about this:
Lots of Libs like to call for intervention in Darfur.

from a commentor on the Washington Times...
By: gazelle777
The U.S. should immediately pull out of Chicago !
Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago , 221 killed in Iraq .
Sens. Barack Obama & Dick Durb in, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike), Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley).....our leadership in Illinois.....all Democrats.
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago . Of course, they're all blaming each other.
Can't blame Republicans, there aren't any!
State pension fund: $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look'em up if you want).
Chicago school system one of the worst in country. (And Obama was actively working to "change" it!)
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois . He's gonna 'fix' Washington politics? Why didn't he do something to fix Illinois?
Any of you liberals have an intelligent answer for that question? And remember, the key word here is 'intelligent'.

It makes me sick the way Michelle O used the grandmother on the campaign today in Ohio. She spoke oh so sweetly and said Barack told her that he gets his strength from his grandmother and "We call her Toots." Not to her face, apparently. Since Michelle and the girls didn't go to see her when on vacation in Hawaii a few months ago, and, now that she's dying, well, that doesn't warrant a visit from the grandkids to their beloved Toots either. Yesterday, radio news said B Hussein spent one hour with her. He spent more time on the airplane getting over there. Before she became gravely ill, anybody know of a time when she praised her grandson during this campaign? Why not?
he seems to consider the grandmother a punishment. she is, after all a typical racist white person.

A very simple working definition for peace is how effectively we are able to transform conflict before it escalates into violence.
IOW, they're admitting their position is useless in violent situations.
Current thinking in the field of peace studies posits that peace is a state of being that can be cultivated within ourselves, our communities, our societies, our civilizations and our world. Peace happens at all levels.

In actuality, I think the electoral race is very close.
I have seen estimates of McCain getting approximately 259 to 275 votes (it takes 270 to win). But I think that estimate says McCain must win PA and OH which are very close now.
Like it or not, the “Bradley Effect” will be much higher than expected.
[Zombie explains the Bradley Effect]:
“Despite being a well-known phrase, the Bradley Effect is quite often misreported by the media and misunderstood by the public to mean that whites who are racist will refuse to vote for any black candidate yet will lie to pollsters about their intentions for fear of having their racist attitudes exposed. As a result, polls sometimes over-report support for black candidates in elections when they are running against white candidates. But this is a gross misapprehension of what the term means. First of all, the phrase "Bradley Effect" originally only referred to a bare-bones description of what actually happens in such races: White voters tell pollsters they intend to vote for the black candidate, but on election day they either vote for the white candidate or don't vote at all…”

Ironically, the fraudulent episode in Pa. may serve as an innoculation to prevent against unecessary emotionalism over a potential contrivance of a story. On the other hand, it may be legit. But this story may well be swallowed up by the shadow of the great state of Texas where stories like this do not get the play they might in the East or West. One thing we hope for is that it obviously is that it not unfairly tilt the election, tragic as it might be. That said, to the extent that there is a tragedy, our hearts go out nonetheless.

Besides, a draft would work ONLY if men and women were BOTH draftable (you can thank the NOW crowd for that, BTW!) with absolutely NO educational or other deferments, other than a proven mental or physical limitation that would prevent one from going to battle. EVERYONE, regardless of financial status, would be eligible from 18 - 45 years of age. Are YOU prepared for that kind of draft? I didn't think so.
I've always supported the idea of a draft. Mandatory, for everyone, two years in uniform. I'd keep combat arms volunteer, but all the support folk could be drafted. We need bodies when nature takes its course, and infantry are not the best for humanitarian missions in the Indian Ocean. We supply the food for the humanitarian aid, we need to supply the distribution as well. In South America, we sent food, and the Communists put a spanish language label on that said a gift from Russia. Since the poor villagers couldn't read or recognize english, it worked.

Unfortunately, gun control is one of the mandatory planks in the Democratic Party's platform.

Liberal Dirty Tricks Ignored
by L. Brent Bozell III
October 31, 2000When Republicans win the White House, it’s never the force of their ideas. It has to be some kind of dirty trick.
Think back to 1988, and the endless barrage of news stories condemning the independent pro-Bush ads focusing on Willie Horton, the convicted murderer who was released on a weekend furlough and traveled to Maryland and raped a woman. It didn’t matter that the Bush campaign didn’t produce the ad. Throughout the entire Bush presidency (and even beyond), the major media vented their collective spleen at Republican race-baiting, the exploitation of white fears of black crime.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is now airing an ad that seeks to exploit black fears of white crime. Actually, that’s too kind. Over black and white video of a pickup truck dragging a chain, the daughter of Texas dragging death victim James Byrd declares, "So when Gov. George W. Bush refused to sign hate crimes legislation, it was like my father was killed all over again."
Gov. Bush is being tied directly to a vicious racist lynching. And from Brokaw, Jennings, Rather, Shaw & Co. -- not a peep. Clearly this is the most unfair, divisive, and repugnant ad in many moons, and it’s met with silence? At the very least, if the media were truly disinterested observers of the campaign and truly interested in the appearance of balance, they could draw an easy parallel between the Horton and Byrd spots for their hallowed "Ad Watch" pieces. But that would be false parity. Nothing Gov. Bush did led to Byrd’s death, and under Gov. Bush, two of his assailants will be put to death, while the furlough program under Gov. Dukakis allowed the release of Horton to commit more violent crimes.

Suffering from serious upper body wounds, the soldier struggled on to the front of his SAS long range patrol vehicle (LRPV) and, under heavy fire, used a rope to attach himself firmly between the vehicle's bull bar and radiator.
Once he was secured, and there was no chance that he would fall off if he fainted, he picked up his rifle and resumed firing at the enemy during a two-hour fighting withdrawal.

Well I don't know about that - back in the day (30+ years ago) we turned out some pretty damned good infantry troops with an 8 week basic training course and an 8 week Advanced Infantry Training course and then - after a 30 day leave - shipped off to Vietnam. And I have to say that the draftees did as well as did us enlisted personnel.
I know infantry has changed - newer weapons and other equipment but still - stretch it another 4-6 weeks of training and you'd have some pretty good troops I think.

re: #293 JeremyR
I've always supported the idea of a draft. Mandatory, for everyone, two years in uniform. I'd keep combat arms volunteer, but all the support folk could be drafted. We need bodies when nature takes its course, and infantry are not the best for humanitarian missions in the Indian Ocean. We supply the food for the humanitarian aid, we need to supply the distribution as well. In South America, we sent food, and the Communists put a spanish language label on that said a gift from Russia. Since the poor villagers couldn't read or recognize english, it worked.
Yup, I hear ya.
I still believe in the value of a professional corps. But there should also be a rotational part of the service that drafts civilians, and ALL should have to serve between the ages of 17 and 55 for 2 years - men, women, single, married, gay, straight, whatever.
And the mental and physical handicaps need to be monitored very carefully, because that stuff can be faked with the help of a physician.
Again, the citizen soldiers need to be a part of the service, because:
1. It's not healthy for a nation to rely solely on a professional military.
2. It's not healthy for the professional military to be left alone - a source of criticism and outside perspective can be very healthy and useful, within reason.
3. To ask that professional military to risk the lives of its members without being willing to do the same yourself is immoral in the extreme. You have to be willing to walk the walk.

I have to say I agree, if only for two reasons: one is, if the nation should go to war (as in Iraq, say) then the American Public - or at least larger parts of it than do now - would necessarily be engaged in the war effort. The other is that universal service compels people to not only give up two years of their lives to the Nation (which I think does in fact connect or re-connect a lot of folks with the notion of America the nation) but to live, eat and work with folks from different backgrounds, races, ethnic groups and the like. I think that that is frankly a very healthy thing.

EXACTLY.
I've heard the idea that two years is not enough from other folks as well - all friends of mine who have served.
However: it's not really the point. With two years training, you now have a corpus that can be drawn upon in time of great need that is better than a completely UNTRAINED body of civilians. Also, it's a concentrated effort at building an extra layer of civic duty and love of country into the citizenry. Finally, it does give the military an opportunity to test out weapon systems to make them more usable and robust (as opposed to relying always on super highly trained specialists) and provides a chance of recruiting the best of the draftees for longer term service.

It’s not like someone tying a person to the bumper of truck and dragging them though main street.
The AP is trying to imply a calculated racist attack – I don’t by it. In CA there have been a number of people, such as illegal aliens, hit and stuck under a vehicle. The AP story is agi-prop.

If you ever get a chance, you'd love an H&K MP 5. It is the absolute sweetest shooting gun ever made.

re: #384 hermeneutics
Are you referring to Wilson's book, The Outsider? If so, its a great book. A must read, preferably before age 25.
I'm referring to SE Hinton's The Outsiders, the "coming-of-age" book about an outcast gang of "greasers" in the early '60s. Also made into a movie starring Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, and a bunch of other up-and-coming stars of the day ... (help me out here folks -- don't wanna have to go a-googlin'...)

re: #411 JohnAdams
These are early high schoolers. This is The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, I believe.
I've never heard of it. Dumb me. And I have a middle school age kid. Hmmmm.

Being kind of cheap I opted for the venerable SKS 7.62x39mm and the Makarov 9mm pistol.
If you can get your hands on a good CZ-52 it is an excellent weapon, with a velocity of over 1500 fps it has good penetration too.

re: #248 doppelganglander
Why are so many old people so foolish and easily frightened? Were they always like that? My mom is nearly 80 and she's not buying what they're selling.
Maybe some of the older people don't have family to explain things to them like your mother has you ....I can understand why older people get scared .....it would be scary to be old and not knowing what is going on with your country....they are probably thinking they are being thrown under the rug ....I have seen posts of many young dailykos types who say things like ... I can't wait for the baby boomers to die so we can take over this country ...your mother is lucky she has you ... but many don't have anyone ..

Hi Rose! Hey I've been in situations in my life where there wasn't enough work and situations where there was too much work and frankly, I preferred the too much work, myself!

More than likely considering they were all either acquainted or friends. All three have (had) a rap sheet.
Here's the Lamar County search page if anyone feels the urge to search these guys priors.
As stated before the Finley has a prior and conviction (nolo) on another murder case.
