Rep. Alan Grayson on the Power of Peace

[minisiets]

I usually find myself in agreement with Grayson but he doesn't use the right words to express himself and his views, but in this case he said exactly what needed to be said with perfect clarity. Well done, sir.

[ELMOcall911]

I really like this guys soo America lets have a trade you can have the Prime Minister of canada and including all the government officials but we want this guy...fair deal???

[devourerofbabies]

It would be a good trade at this point.

[Freshmanwave]

I wonder what Virginia Foxx must have thought while hearing this speech, being next in line to speak?

[oneirishpoet]

Alan Grayson for President...I love this guy! Why can't we find more leaders like him with the courage and integrity to tell the truth with intellect and compassion? (and humor!)

[godimgood0]

cause all the good people get shot man... look at kennedy and lincon... there too good and they go angainst evil... then they get killed... lol how much balls do u got? wanna get shot?

[oneirishpoet]

@godimgood0 I'm guessin' Grayson is armed and a pretty good shot himself...I don't think he's afraid of any of these morons!

[godimgood0]

lol straight goods.... he better have some snipers

[Steve197201]

I have never voted for a Democrat in my life. But if Alan Grayson decides to run for President, he's got my vote all the way! He's one of the few leaders in Washington, and I think he has great potential. Our nation needs a man like him.

[bhattmagandhi]

wow.. that was good..

[spatter188]

Grayson, the radical Orlando Socialist went to the Appleton Museum of Art and Pi restaurant on Sat. Nov. 14, where he tried to explain away his crude accusations on the floor of the House of Representatives. He called a fellow Dem. a Whore. His behavior is typical of his upbringing in the slums of New York. The novice Grayson was met outside Pi by a large crowd of jeering protesters who chanted Grayson's gotta go Grayson sold the people out, and Go home Grayson.

If you look at the seal you will also notice there is only one olive branch, while there is a bundle of arrows. To me, I think it symbolizes that is takes a bundle of wars to equal a single act of peace.

[finerbiner]

wow rockerjosh2, sooo profound you are. your parents must be so proud.

[TheJm8284]

I feel as though I need to help this man fulfill this dream! . . . Godamn! I have reached enlightenment - cannot slap a mosquito! . . . But this will not stand! How do we end this? . . . Refuse to participate, do not move, pretend that they do not exist! flash

[diamonddave514]

your congressman is nuts

[ryno99]

unlike most, he has balls. America is a shithole. Grayson, Kucinich, Paul speak the truth and dont take it in the ass from lobbyists. The rest are nuts, they love banks and insurance companies.

[rdrakken]

Graysons is starting to become very ideological and its starting to worry me. ive been a follower of his before his first Youtube video because I VOTED FOR HIM and agree with most of what he was saying.

Now though...he is sounding like he is turning extereme.

No one in the nation has forgotten the power of piece however since we were sold to the military inustrial complex 4 decades ago no one will ever have the political power to change the nation.

Not Grayson, Not paul, not Obama

[Amy31415]

We||-done Grayson.

[1958louief]

The Founding Fathers CARED about The Country, and WE THE PEOPLE..

They would Slap the Shit out everyone Voted in Office right now. From Obama on down.. and remind them It's a Goverment for THE PEOPLE.. Stop helping everyone, and take care of WE THE PEOPLE!!

[gerry1976]

If I don't see any changes in 2 years from now with Obama's administration, I will quit on them, I will change to an Independent President, but never, ever to a Republican again. It would be like going backwards.

[captcrais101]

Instant run off voting ballot question is necessaruy to make third parties viable.

[bluecafe69]

Is that the Star of David above the Eagle? How many of America's founding fathers were jews?

[murrman33]

yeah, thats true

[VegetaFH1]

jo05dk I dont think its right calling Mr.Grayson "Unamerican" even if you did mean it jokingly

Mr.Grayson clearly cares about america and the seal of the US, however i beg to pry your eyes away from it for a second and point out that the Presidents private seal is being overshadowed by his new "O" symbol the "seal of obama"

That has never happened before in the history of the united states and is a very scary thing

Good work Mr.Grayson, keep speaking your mind and ill keep supporting you

[duleekrauser]

i just learned what the saying "spead eagle" mean.

learning is fun!

[WTFaboutWTC7]

And what about;

novus ordo seclorum

What does that mean?

[bbg5000]

The motto Novus ordo seclorum can be translated as "A new order of the ages." It was proposed by Charles Thomson, the Latin expert who was involved in the design of the Great Seal of the United States, to signify "the beginning of the new American Era" as of the date of the Declaration of Independence.

[bbg5000]

The phrase is taken from the fourth Eclogue of Virgil, which contains a passage that reads:

Now comes the final era of the Sibyl's song;

The great order of the ages is born afresh.

And now justice returns, honored rules return;

now a new lineage is sent down from high heaven.

[Davetech23]

So the "new American Era" is equated to the "final era"?

[HAL9000unit]

I hope you never change. Never accept bribes, never cave in to political pressure. I have never seen a politician as great and truthful as you.

[danbowski40]

Ron Paul/ Alan Grayson 2012!!

[wdgeo]

ron paul? ROFLMAO!

[TillThenPlease]

Grayson speaking truth once again.

[jo05dk]

How did this guy get elected? I don't get it..

Up untill now i haven't seen anything but common sense and putting up a fight for the things he believe in. That's not american i've come to know. Just look at the failure of a president that won the election on lies, and now is screwing every human being that believed in him, me included.

You're unamerican (for a politician) Grayson, and thank god for you!!!

[SubmarinerAndroid]

If they allow a handful of truthtellers and radicals(?) into government, it provides the illusion of ideological diversity, democracy, freedom, etc.

We will never see 300 Graysons and Kucinichs in the House, unless...

[jo05dk]

I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if it turns out you're right. If the americans are being played just like America has controlled so many leaders across the world.

[Davetech23]

Aye, I've decided it is all theater. The Romans gave the people the circus to keep their minds busy, and Capital Hill is our circus.

Good theater usually has a bad guy. So when the timing is right, they trot out Joe Lieberman for us to hiss and boo at. Keeps our minds busy.

I had so much hope right after the elections.

[jo05dk]

I think you're right Dave. The fact that Obama won could be related to a grander sceme securing that the common people give up asking questions and/or fighting for their right. Letting you know it doesn't pay getting your hopes up.

I don't know. I don't wanna sound like one of those who believe the conspiracy theories, but on the other hand: If CIA and the big companies can fuck up leadership in other countries, why not in their own backyard?

What i do know: Things are screwy:-)

[ccm800]

Grayson is so on point with what is wrong in this country this last decade or so.

[ironwork92000]

I'd hate to see a good man like him run for president. It guess it is customary for presidents to become crooks when they take office. I'd hate to see a good hearted guy like him get spoiled.

[ProudAtheist90]

Alan is the only politician i have any respect for now...obama had my highest respect and hopes but he has lost it by not doing anything he said he would...i know he hasnt been in office long but hes not even acting like he wants to help gay people or stop war.

[GOTU62]

While I appreciate your words, Mr. Grayson, I ask you to take note of the fasci, and comment.

[mmm413]

What makes him so good is that he doesn't need the money, the prestige or the power of his office. He ran for office because he felt deeply about it. He means what he says. And if he loses his next election (heaven forbid!), his life will go on.

[cosmosgato]

This man is great!

We have got to get this guy in the WhiteHouse if not sadly 2012 then 2016.

[ponczeq420]

this huy hahaha uou mean Ron Pual with over 30 years exp

[ccm800]

GRAYSON!

[ponczeq420]

i dont want bicker since hes on the same page with Federal Reserve and Obama's war mongering i don't care for Democrat Republican cause its a paradime divide and conquer so u bicker all you want the man acknowledges the bill of rights etc hes alright with me

[ryno99]

Thanks Grayson, you Kuchinich and Ron Paul are my only hopes left in America. the rest could care less about middle class trash like myself. Im moving to Europe as the USA doesnt offer me anything anymore. Thanks for your effort Mr Grayson, a true patriot.

[capitalist4life]

This guy is great except for his repulsively progressive economic policies, but his fierce criticism of the Fed and the war(s) is enough to get my support.

[harvey101107]

capitalist4life: couldn't agree with you more.

[billthebutcher2]

And right after that beautiful, intelligent speech, one of the dumbest hatemongers in Congress was set to speak. Talk about a contrast.

[highway234]

3:05 i think he gets a little choked up.

[Boobalopbop]

BEAUTIFULLY said... Simply amazing.  Thank God for Alan Grayson.

[Charles0in0charge]

What is your website.... I wanna endorse this man, a true progressive!!!
