Only the ones in government, especially the federal government in unelected positions. Also, the authors of all presidential executive orders...who are they, and do they have dual citizenship?
No one in the executive branch should be able to make law, not even the president. Since it has happened, let's know all of the details and perhaps we can get this crap stopped.

It is a matter of loyalties.
It is in the best interest of Israel for Americans to send vast amounts of money to Israel, and to provide multi millions in military aid, and to fight middle eastern wars with American citizens/blood.
Actually, I don't really believe it IS in their interest, but obviously THEY do, but that is beside the point.
I DO realize it is not ALL about Israel, of course, nothing is that black and white.
But, it is no secret that money buys influence in Washington. Now, the tragic thing is when taxpayers are giving money to a foreign government that is actively buying influence in Washington. How is that again? We give more to Israel than any other country and Israel (Jewish interests) spend more lobbying than any other country.
It is not just Washington, if you speak out against the Israelis you are censored. Everyone knows how it works, but it doesn't mean we have to continue to live with it. Awareness is the first step, and it is happening.
Around the world it appears, that is why I say I really don't believe it is actually in Israels best interest, in the long run, to alienate the world as it were.

Yes, you have a good point.
I am really not sure what can be done about that problem, frankly.
(and I usually have an answer for everything)

You do know that nothing from this post of yours has anything to do with the financial crises or how the Democratic congress caused the recession? You just argued that the Democrats held a racist past, much in contradiction to what they stand for now
and just furthered my point towards Stewie? Why don't you stop and actually read, thanks.
Oh, you mean the so called progressives that opposed the 1964 civil rights act ending segregation? Those 'progressives' that left the Democratic party for the Republican party?
So you are blaming the Democrats for passing the civil rights act before the Republicans did? Yes many Republicans supported the civil rights act as with the Democrats, but most opposed it at the time. The Republicans used what they called the Southern strategy:
It was called "the southern strategy," started under Richard M. Nixon in 1968, and described Republican efforts to use race as a wedge issue -- on matters such as desegregation and busing -- to appeal to white southern voters.

Here was the Republican party presidential nominee Barry Goldwater in 1964:
The Republicans prior to the 60's atleast stood for liberty as they did in the 19th century, that all changed with the Southern shift and in turn the Southern strategy. As for the old Democrats? Anybody who argues that the old Democrats held better positions in the interest of the people then than at current are over their heads, and your arguments so clearly put it to my point.
Nothing, It has to do with those that past and why THEY past it.
What does the civil rights act of 1964 have to do with entitlement programmes again?

If you really believe that they have changed that much then you
Please tell me what Affirmative Action and entitlement programs have actually done to help anyone.
You were replying to ME when you asked for the difference between the Dems of then and the Dems of now.
No, I meant what I said, watch the video you posted.
So you think in 1960 the democrats and republicans just magically swapped places? Do you ever wonder what might have brought this about? They found a better way Bro
How does something cooked up by tricky Dick in 1968 have anything to do with the Civil Rights movement in 1964?
The least you could do is read a little about the man before you automatically jump to the left about him. You might see that you have several things in common with him.
I have heard several times that "I am making your point for you" but as of yet I still do not see where you have a point.
The Democrats where known Racist. That is what the party was MADE for to begin with.
