AMEN BROTHER!

This guy unfortunately presents my district and I can tell you, he is a totally clueless, corrupt lying coward.

I not only do not believe this story for a second but I actually busted out laughing upon hearing it.

He is totally and notoriously into publicity just to gain name recognition, how truly pathetic.

Americans may find they have backbones or look inside their drawers and discover they possess gonads and take direct action to regain their heritage. One never knows for certain which course history will take.

I believe you're right. I believe they are in for a rude awakening.

We are a BIG country - and a country of people who have never known anything but freedom - AND, they never got our guns, first requisite to take over.

Hopefully, it won't come to full out violence to stop this slimy bunch of traitors. But I do believe the American people will stop them.

WE may come out on the other side of this a stronger nation as people are waking up and realizing that what we have CAN be lost when we get lazy and inattentive.

“Grayson was serving as part of a congressional delegation that was focused on science, technology and humanitarian relief. “

Yeah, ‘cause when I think of science and technology, I think of Niger.

These Congressional ‘Fact-Finding’ tours need to stop. So do the every Wednesday night special concerts in the White House. WE ARE IN A RECESSION, OBAMA! START LEADING!

“...AND, they never got our guns, first requisite to take over.”

Maybe, although with 2 million now in the employ of big brother and 39 government employment positions instead of 11 (as was true 20 years ago) are now duly authorized to carry side arms (which all happened “under the radar”), given the right scenario, we, even when acting collectively, may not be able to effectively “resist” the “powers that be.”

The stats regarding number of government employment positions in which employees carry firearms stem from comments made in 2009 by former FBI Head in LA, Ted Gunderson.

There's nothing more ironic than a Lib talking about how brave they are under fire, and somehow expect to be rewarded for their own stupidity that got them in that predicament in the first place.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Grayson might put himself in for a medal for his "bravery" under fire ...

My thoughts exactly. He will speak often of his heroics and how he was “in the s#!t” etc., as if he were some kind of hero. What a d-bag.

Alan Grayson spent SIX FIGURES of YOUR MONEY on his trip.

You have a nice time job hunting. :)

It doesn't bother me so much that he went to Niger. What bothers me is that he came back.

Nothing they do suprises me any more. It doesn’t matter if it happened years ago or yesterday-just what planet do these idiots come from?

There was a young lady from Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,
And a smile on the face of the tiger.

"As of Thursday night it was announced that the constitution of Niger had been suspended."

Obama is working on his announcement, and it will be delivered soon.

Missed it by THAT much!

I wonder if they timed this attack to take Grayson hostage.

He was probably there to pick up the fortune that was...

... LEFT BY MR JON GRAYSON A RELATIVE WHO PASSED ON WITH NO KNOWN RELATIONS AND WAS READY TO TRANSFER THE SUM OF $35 MILLION U.S. AND SHARE 20% WITH BARRISTER UBLIBULI MOMBULI AFTER A SMALL PROCESSING PAYMENT OF $3500 TRANSFERRED VIA WESTERN UNION IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN
