Angelina Jolie - birdbrain - high school grad - liberal Hollyflake - unable to understand why it's not America's job to support the world.

Angelina bars her own father from having any contact with her and it breaks his heart.


Charity begins at home.


Hypocrite.

There's a "Refugees Magazine"? I wouldn't want to see the centerfold...

With all her and her hubbys wealth, they could support several thousand families and keep them right where they're at. Maybe build a huge community in Rwanda and call it Pittsville.

Aw come on.... Angelina you are an actress - not a diplomat - making tons of money doesn't increase your IQ.

Next you'll be advertising you are doing surgeries in Africa and creating a cure for AIDS.

I wonder if Angelina objected when Elean Gonzales was sent back to Cuba. I wonder if she objects to the policy that requires us to return Cuban refugees whom we catch at sea.

Liberals, who love to lecture the public on the necessity of addressing root causes, don't seem to care why "[m]ore than 7,000 people have died trying to get into Europe over the past decade". Why is this? Simply because socialist governments, no matter how dysfunctional, are immune from criticism.

Well, if Angelina Jolie says we must ... oh, wait.

I don't give two hoots what she thinks on this or any other issue.
