Alan Grayson on Women and Our Military in Afghanistan

[boorens18]

we have no positive outcome in afghanistan. It sucks but the one guy we could have backed for a true democratic government, backed out. It sucks, its tough, but the afghanistan people are going to need a leader before we can back him and make progress. For now, we are just wasting money.

[withoutasong]

Let America leave Afghanistan and stop destroying their country.

ASentinel2 What Fox wont tell: Rep. Alan Grayson: You Own the Red Roof Inn, Thanks to the Fed v=pE3oiKuU8UI Grayson: "Which Foreigners Got the Fed's $500,000,000,000?" Bernanke: "I Don't Know." v=n0NYBTkE1yQ Grayson: Is Anyone Minding the Store at the Federal Reserve? v=PXlxBeAvsB8 Trillions of $ off balance sheet. Insp Gen Coleman responds that she doesnt know & isnt tracking where this money is. v=Mj0JAfq4esk Fed spent $1.2 trillion since September 1, 09. Where did it go? Kohn wouldn't say.

[ASentinel2]

@optimistsRUS Why don't we agree that the Fed and government ruined our country-that it's probably too late to do anything meaningful about it, drones like you will find themselves starving to death because you have no job, no money or money that has value, and there are people roaming the streets foraging from door to door for food with clubs. Now, move on, get serious about self preservation...afterall our Marxist president said it so eloquently: "the time for bickering is over...."

[optimistsRUS]

@ASentinel2

"Why don't we agree that the Fed and government ruined our country"

I agree with that but why don't you agree that Obama is no more Marxist than George Bush, both gave billions of dollars of our tax money to crooks... Marxism was about means of production being in public hands, our government wants capitalism when corporations make billions of Dollars and when they have a loss it's "communism" and we have to chip in for their loss.

[ASentinel2]

@optimistsRUS "Marxism was about means of production being in public hands..."

Really? Marxism IS about power, taking from who have much and give to who has less regardless of merit or contribution of the individual. It's about the collective, EXCEPT for the corrupt elite that gets to make all the calls. Like when America poles repeatedly show 69%-81% regardless of source, against health care bill, and Pelosi, Reid, Obama say, we'll get it anyway, we'll pole volt in if we have too...

[optimistsRUS]

@ASentinel2

I don't know what you mean, the public was against bank bailouts and out government gave billions to the crooks that brought us into this economic mess, are you telling me that you support bailouts for the rich corrupt bankers but you don't support tax money for poor people's health care?

[ASentinel2]

@optimistsRUS Now do you see it ?

Health care system takeover...unionize the medical workers and enlist new voters from the newly insured...2014 new world...Financial reform that will allow government to pick and choose winners and losers and close companies against their agenda.

FOX news days are numbered. MARK IT

Amnesty is next, get ready for a mass exodus of illegals coming for amnesty whom also will be enlisted as voters.

Obama gets a second term. At least.

[optimistsRUS]

@ASentinel2

What is your point? You want to blame everything on immigrants and union activists who fight against the tyranny of corporations?

[ASentinel2]

@optimistsRUS dopey...immigrants are just a vehicle to this president and administration.

Unions are just a vehicle for politicians to buy up massive groups of voters. If you aren't aware you need to spend some time paying attention. It's all about unions with these progressive types. SEIU, Teamsters, whomever they can commandeer and get sheep from. Then they steer projects, labor and contracts to them to pay off.

Tyranny of corporations? Name some tyranny. Meanwhile in America...

[optimistsRUS]

@ASentinel2

Yeah I am a fool, it's not that we are not being ruled by JP Morgan Chase, BoA, Goldman Sachs, Exxon, BP when rightwing nuts control the government or the soc-called liberals, it's just the so-called liberals who are causing the problem. Note: In case you missed it, I am attacking, not defending the Obama-type liberals who are all talk but no action.

[optimistsRUS]

@ASentinel2

What is your proposal? You want this country back for White racist Christians? You don't want new immigrants? You just want White immigrants who killed the Red natives? What about those White immigrants who come from Arab countries or from non-Arab Muslims countries? What about Germans and Irish and Italians? You want it all limited to White-English-speaking-Christi­ans?

[ASentinel2]

@optimistsRUS what racist "christians" do you speak of?

When did I say that I don't want new immigrants. I said that a marxist radical in the Whitehouse will make 20 million illegal immigrants legal citizens to win their support in an election because he's alienated 61% to 70% of Americans depending on which poll source you refer to. Nothing I mention addressed a preference. Without them and the new 30 million free health care gang he could not hope to win another 4 years.

Now...

[MultiSnapDragon]

Thanks Grayson. I am disappointed that we are pursuing this war and dragging our troops and the Afghans into it. Its a sinkhole where lives, tax dollars and our reputation fall in and never come back.

[Bacchusism]

This is merely their culture, should we fight for nudist rights in the U.S.? Or the right for people to have sex on the streets? It's not the job of foreigners to impose their sense of culture or ethics onto others. Worry about your own country, and your own people!

[oodeliaoo]

we dont want to impose our values we just want to stop the abuse of women and children. I think you should read some articles of women in afghan who have fought back. not all of them want to be oppressed and physically and mentally abused. some of them know its wrong. the ones who dont are just blinded by their male captors. that is no real life for anyone to have to live

[Bacchusism]

Their male captors? You are indeed imposing your own viewpoint. Tell me what percentage of Afghan women want to live outside of their traditional ways? If there are enough then let them fight for those rights. The problems the U.S. have now with are precisely because they want to impose their own way of life onto others. Not everyone wants to drink coca cola and shop at the mall, just remember that.

Is there abuse? Yes. Look at the U.S., highest domestic abuse rate in the world. And divorce...

[NoseNuggets]

too add insult to injury we aren't even pushing our own form of government. we are pushing this horrendous and despicable form of government called democracy. These places could really benefit from a republic, preferably a constitutional republic.

[Bacchusism]

What they could really benefit from is the absence of foreign militarists trying to create civil war through religious and racial conflict. Then they could also benefit from having the U.N. drop sanctions so that they can develop their country through trade.

[NoseNuggets]

saying we are trying to create civil war i think is incorrect. we are trying to do what ever we can to allow the war to continue because, lets face it, nothing moves wealth around like war. its just, whenever wealth moves, it moves in one direction.

the UN is just as criminal as we are.

[Xigano1]

@Bacchusism

The U.S does NOT have the worlds highest domestic abuse rate by far.

According to the WHO, the rate of violence against women in Ethiopia is more than 3 times higher and in Brazil the number is still allmost twice as high as in the U.S.

I don't know where you got your numbers, but I assume it's the lower part of your back.

[IVIJ8790]

Their culture is stupid and promotes discrimination. The children have rickets because of their mothers not getting sufficient amounts of vitamin D during pregnancy.

[solojam]

who knows, maybe they have the right idea!

hahhahaa

[45von]

More 'civilized' countries need to see this discrimination... We should NEVER support nor aid any country that has such a anti human right policy.

[Azimon]

YES we should ignore them and let them continue do what they do! la di la di la la

[marniespeaks]

you might want to get out of their country
