Alan Grayson: When You Ask for Advice, You Have to Take It


Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL) joins CNN's Crossfire to talk about President Obama seeking Congressional support for a military strike against Syria. Congress overwhelmingly opposes military action, which led Grayson to comment that, "The price you pay when you ask people for advice is that sometimes, you have to take it."

Rep. Alan Grayson Cackles That Syrian Atrocities 'Simply Not Our Problem'

9/5/13 - The debate over military action in Syria has produced a landfill's worth of stupidity, from every side of the debate, and every corner of the political media. This is somewhat predictable, as we all know what opinions are like, but on Thursday night's All In with Chris Hayes, "Congressman with Guts™" Alan Grayson (D-FL) made a bold incursion, from stupid into contemptible.

Following his excellent interview with Secretary of State John Kerry, host Chris Hayes continued the media's current pastime of coaxing valueless opinions out of unqualified guests by interviewing Rep. Alan Grayson, who opposes the proposed military intervention in Syria. There are legitimate reasons to oppose the strike, as well as to support it, but Grayson's performance here was a very extreme example of what has been so wrong with much of the media's treatment of the Syria debate: a complete lack of seriousness or humility. If you'd like to see an example of seriousness and humility, check out the first half of this Chris Hayes commentary from Wednesday night, then slam your head on your desk.

You can watch the full Grayson segment here, but I don't have the time or the inclination to pick it all apart. It's chock full of genius. I just want you to watch what has to be the most ridiculous displays of callous arrogance in the history of cable news. Chris Hayes asked Grayson if there was anything in the interview with Secretary Kerry "that you find compelling or convincing?"

"Not at all," Grayson replied, with a thin smirk. "Listen, most people understand this is simply not our problem. This is not our problem to solve."

Hayes, to his credit, pushed back, although with characteristic understatement. "I have to say, that sounds morally obtuse to me."

"Sorry," Grayson replied, and with a cackle, added "I'm being totally honest."

He then went on to argue that the calls he's getting from constituents are running "100 to 1″ against the intervention. Whatever you think about Grayson's logic, which I will get to in a second, what the frack is he laughing about? What, exactly, is so funny about this? There doesn't seem to be much that people agree about with regard to Syria, but can't we at least find common ground in the notion that this is not a laughing matter?

As for Grayson's reading of the American public, he seems to be forgetting that the American people overwhelmingly supported military action in Iraq. Now, Grayson might point out that this was a result of misleading information, and he'd be right. However, aside from the fact that a significant chunk of the American public probably thinks Damascus is some kind of Halloween super-store, a certain amount of the erosion of public support for airstrikes could have something to do with people in the media telling them that this is just like Iraq.

Alan Grayson ~ Syrian War is Expensive, Dangerous, Uncertain

Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) joins Ed Schultz and Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) on MSNBC's The Ed Show, to discuss his opposition to U.S. military intervention in Syria. September 4, 2013.

Rep. Alan Grayson: Syria is not our responsibility




The congressional debate to get involved in Syria continued on Capitol Hill on Thursday, and while President Obama is at the G-20 summit in Russia, lawmakers from both sides showed their support for and against the proposed efforts. The motion to implement strikes on the Syrian regime for allegedly using chemical weapons on its own people moved forward on Wednesday when the United States Senate of Foreign Relations Committee authorized involvement in the Middle Eastern country. But Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) said he will do his best to influence other lawmakers that this isn't our problem. He joins us now to explain his position.

Alan Grayson on Syria War! "We Are NOT the World's Policeman!" "Nor Judge Jury And Executioner!"





Doctors without Borders was founded by Judeo-French neocon ex-Foreign Minister of France who organized the overthrow of Qaddafi a couple of years ago, Bernard Kouchner.
Kouchner practically 'wrote the book' on so-called humanitarian interventionism. And has been pushing every such type of war, from Bosnia, to Ruanda, Darfur, Iraq, and all the others. He was the guy whom the UN delegated authority to in ex-Yugoslavia, and who concretely ethnically purified Bosnia (as there was obviously never going to be the beginning of stability if the populations stayed mixed as they were - 20 years later, 90% of young Bosnians want to flee, and the UN is still there).

Alan Grayson : Stop The NSA Spying on Americans it is unconstitutional

Alan Grayson "They're NOT Saying That It Prevented Terrorist Attacks AT ALL!"

DHS has declared war on the American people. This is exactly how it happened in Nazi Germany minus the new technology of course. Now with the internet and information at fingertips they will be able to succeed where Hitler failed. The Zio-Nazis globalists have one goal in mind and that is to turn the entire planet into one conglomerate with all resources at their fingertips and everyone enslaved into their banking system, the U.N. was created for this purpose which was stated in Bush's 91 speech

ALAN GRAYSON on The NSA and Prism Programs



Alan Mark Grayson is the United States Representative for Florida's 9th congressional district and a member of the Democratic Party. He previously served as Representative for Florida's 8th congressional district from 2009 to 2011.   
Grayson made it a priority to increase the amount of federal money returning to his district. He often said that people in his district had been "exporting taxes and importing debt." During his first year in office, the amount of federal grant dollars returning to the district nearly doubled with a 98% increase.Grayson established a grant notification system that notifies subscribers immediately when a federal grant opportunity in their areas of interest becomes available. He also hired a full-time grants coordinator who focused solely on helping people navigate the federal grants process.

Grayson supported the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and has been outspoken in favor of extending unemployment benefits for Americans who have lost their jobs. Grayson argues that the government has never cut off unemployment insurance when the unemployment rate was higher than eight percent. Grayson also voted for FDA Oversight of Tobacco Products, which gives the FDA power to regulate tobacco products.

Grayson has worked to combat federal waste, fraud, and abuse. In the September 6, 2009 edition of The New York Times, columnist Gretchen Morgenson thanked Grayson for uncovering the fact that, due to the federal bailout of mortgage finance giant Fannie Mae, taxpayer money had been funding the legal defense fees for former top executives at the institution. Grayson requested information about these legal costs after a June 2009 hearing of the House Financial Services Committee. Grayson's work uncovered that, between September 6, 2008 and July 21, 2009,taxpayers spent $6.3 million defending Fannie Mae executives Franklin Raines, J. Timothy Howard, and Leanne Spencer. Taxpayers paid an additional $16.8 million to cover legal expenses of workers at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, Fannie's former regulator.

In September 2009, Grayson used a parliamentary maneuver called an “extension of remarks” to provide crucial instruction on H.R. 3221, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009, a bill that, among other things, included a provision that prohibited funding for ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). Grayson's extension of remarks directed that the legislation defund any organization that cheats the federal government, not just ACORN. The defunding measure passed the House with a final vote of 253–171. Grayson also encouraged the public to report companies covered by the bill and set up a method to report offending companies via his Congressional website Wikipedia

“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency.” Major L L B Angus

The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.
The Rothschild Bros

"Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.

This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world.

By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."
