Is Monty Python In Charge Here?

The last thing that our government needs is to get bigger. Way too much of our tax money is wasted on useless governmental programs. So what are some people proposing? The creation of a new Cabinet level department. The Department of Peace.

This is ludicrous. We do not need another Cabinet level post. Especially not one that is devoted to feel good drivel.

We don't need national acupuncture or a national exercise in visualization. We need to have real leadership, willing to make real, difficult, decisions. We need to have a population willing to stay the course in our fight against the forces that would destroy us.

A Department of Peace now makes as much sense as it would have in June 1942. Hitler and Tojo would have laughed at us. Yamamoto didn't fear the US psychiatric capability; he feared our military might.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that no war in history has been won by psychoanalyzing our opponent and convincing him that his anger is all because of repressed childhood memories. If we went to war with psychiatrists instead of soldiers we would get our tails kicked in a heartbeat.

We cannot heal the hatred in others. They must heal it for themselves. Our goal needs to be making the hatred more painful for the patient than the cure. When it comes to healing or reforming, as a nation we are not a doctor, we are a corrections officer.

Liberals like this one complain about American imperialism and colonialism. They complain about our imposition of Western values on other nations. Yet the prescribe their "holistic medicine" without regard as to whether their patient is ready for it or not.

The people they want to "heal" are not diseased patients. They are hardened criminals that live only to harm and terrorize others.

We don't need more New Age healers and feel good remedies. We need more of Warden Rumsfeld and his boys cracking some terrorist heads.

The best way to ensure peace in America is to take the fight to the terrorists.
