bye, Alan Grayson: U.S. Should Be 'Pleased' With 'Virtually Bloodless Transfer Of Power' In Crimea [View all]
Dude has totally lost it.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) on Tuesday argued that instead of labeling Russia's annexation of Crimea as "aggression," the United States should be "pleased" that Crimeans established "self-determination" for themselves.

"This is not some new Cold War that's occurring," he said during a Foreign Affairs Committee markup, as quoted by the Daily Caller. "In fact it’s quite the contrary. We should be pleased to see, pleased to see, when a virtually bloodless transfer of power establishes self-determination for two million people somewhere in the world, anywhere in world."

Grayson argued that the Crimeans determined their own fate, and were merely assisted by Russia.

"The fact is from the perspective of the Crimeans, their leader, the one that they placed in charge of their country, was thrown out of power. So it should come as no surprise, as Secretary Kerry recognized, that the Crimeans had had enough, and they wanted to leave this artificial entity called the Ukraine," he said, arguing that former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was corrupt.

"But," Grayson added, "anyone can get someone to JOIN them without blood. The trick is to hold on to them once you start beating the shit out of them. Look at my old lady: I got her to join me without blood, but once I started kicking the shit out of her, she packed it right in. Good luck, Putin. Maybe you're better at keeping bitches in line than I am."

I wish people like Grayson could answer a simple question re Crimea: how did public support for joining Russia go from barely 50% approval to 95% approval in a few months? Never mind the 120%+ turnout in some areas. Think they were taking lessons from the Dims on that one.

Great, now we can secede from the union without a bloody civil war.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
