If it bothers you that so much money went to Ayers’ education initiatives, then you haven’t seen anything yet. If Obama is elected, the U.S. government will start to funnel money into these groups.

They even want to establish a U.S. Peace Academy on the same scale at our military academies.

There’s so much more in the text of the House Resolution which is available on the Library of Congress web site. Please go and read it yourselves. We need to start the fight now. This bill already has 70 co-sponsors.

Office of Peace Education and Training. “Department of Defense”
Office of Domestic Peace Activities. “Homeland Security”
Office of International Peace Activities. “US Navy”
Office of Technology for Peace. “DARPA”
Office of Arms Control and Disarmament. “US Office of Arms Control and Disarmament”
Office of Peaceful Coexistence and Nonviolent Conflict Resolution. “Department of State”
Office of Human Rights and Economic Rights. “UN Ambassador” and “Chief Trade Negotiator”
Intergovernmental Advisory Council on Peace and Nonviolence. “Department of Justice”

There’s a whole lot of Orwellian stuff in HR 808.

Why would you suppose that? Obama has called for a civilian security force as strong and as well funded as the Pentagon. Who’s going to stop a liberal super-majority from giving it to him?

This is much worse than a silly multibillion dollar boondoggle. Read the entire text of the bill. The domestic agenda is frightening and extends to almost all aspects of public life.
