If this one doesn't scare you

if this one doesn't make you realize that we REALLY need to keep the far left wing of the Deomcrat party out of control of the house, senate and oval office, you have lost touch with reality. HR 808 is the House resolution to create a new cabinet level Department of Peace and Non-Violence. A very nice sounding department that should be relatively meaningless until you read the small print.

SEC. 108. OFFICE OF ARMS CONTROL AND DISARMAMENT.

(a) In General- There shall be in the Department an Office of Arms Control and Disarmament, the head of which shall be the Assistant Secretary of Arms Control and Disarmament. The Assistant Secretary of Arms Control and Disarmament shall carry out those functions in the Department affecting arms control programs and arms limitation agreements.

(b) Responsibilities- The Assistant Secretary of Arms Control and Disarmament shall--

(1) advise the Secretary on all interagency discussions and all international negotiations regarding the reduction and elimination of weapons of mass destruction throughout the world, including the dismantling of such weapons and the safe and secure storage of materials related thereto;

I originally read about it in the latest issue of S.W.A.T. magazine, the Enemy at the Gate column. A little investigation scared the living crap out of me. This is very scary stuff in all.
