Pelosi's "Peace"

by Robert Capozzi

New House Speaker is quoted as saying this:

"As we say in church, let there be peace on Earth," Pelosi said. "And let it begin with us; let the healing begin."

Excellent idea. Peace starts within. Yet this is the nub of my take on why the Ds and "progressives" are utterly confused. They pride themselves on being peacemakers, but they turn around and use the levers of government to impose their views on the rest of us. How is raising the minimum wage by force "peace"? Or furthering government in health insurance? Or even beefing up student loans? Are these not the use of more force by the Feds, not less?

How on Earth do they square that circle?

Peace, out.
