How many of you bleeding hearts actually believe the stories? The first one...they would have shot the males first, not a girl... The nightmares comment guarantees a PTSD diagnosis for the wife and kids, this makes them disabled and gathers more hand-outs. Then the tale of being a sunni..sunni's did the same thing to shiites.. Great movies he is watching and exposing his young kids to...this is how you do things in America..I have an idea, they are called adult ed english classes...id you take any in Atlanta?

These stories are coached to many of the refugees because they hold the buzz words that will give them status over others trying to get a free ride to America or Europe.

You applied to 30 jobs in Atlanta, how many have you applied for here, it's been a few months? Soon enough we will see what happens when you bring a large sectarian group of people to a foriegn place...you should see how they treat females in the work place, I have seen this first hand...you're fired!

Back to work so I can pay for the next 300...report abuse

You liberals will be the undoing of the US!

In two years, people will see and understand what a mess democrats will have made of the economy and vote in a strong Republican majority in Congress!

Until then...enjoy your beans and rice!report abuse
