Youngstown Diocese Proposes Bringing Refugees Here
http://www.wfmj.com/story/33421745/youngstown-diocese-proposes-bringing-refugees-hereI live a few dozen miles from Youngstown. My small city has about two dozen Dollar Stores and about ten times that many churches. It's also voted Red in every presidential election since 2004. So I'm sure you'll be surprised to read about some of the Christian love displayed on my community's Facebook page in response to this story:
"Just because a person is a christian. Doesn't mean they shouldn't consider about potential threats."
"Can't take care of are own people in this country,an we are going to help some refugees."
So I posted:
Leviticus 19:33-34 and 24:22 – When the alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
and got this response:
"You go right ahead and cuddle up with potential killers, who would take the last bite of nourishment out of the mouths of your children/grandchildren. I'll take a pass."
"Youngstown is a sh!& hole anyways so it would be a good place for them goat humppers"
and
"more votes for hillery"
Both of those are from the same enlightened citizen.
"Pedafiles are at it again"
Gee--I wonder who they'll be rooting for in tonight's debate...
