Perhaps the film director should send his resume to Al Gore.

The dead giveaway was the amount of dust coming off the little boy and his running to the little girl, seemingly uninjured, then running with her, without any signs of impairment after being shot, around the chest area.

They’re trying to create “refugee” status so we can take a few hundred thousand more.

The UN is already pushing for us to take 200,000+ “refugees” from Syria.

Obama has plans to take 100,000+ Haitian “refugees.”

Joe Biden talked today about giving “refugee” status to central Americans that have family over here. They’re using poverty and violence as an excuse to take more of them. We’ve already got enough violence and poverty in this nation. We really cannot afford any more.

The sad and frustrating part is that I have talked with Liberals who use Hollywood movies as justification for their political views, as if the movies were news documentaries.

It’s all about how they “feel” about issues...

It had me fooled. But I’m relieved to learn it was a hoax.

I get annoyed with being lied to. I also don’t like the seemingly new term, “conflict zones.” Not sure why, but it bugs me.

He was actually trying to get his sister to enroll in Obamacare.

Phonies always have an excuse. Just like the hate-crime hoaxers who say they were trying to “start a discussion” or create a “teachable moment.”

I called it on day one.

Our smart elite media falls for it every time.

But they are “stupid” because they supported ObamaCare. Or so I hear.
