Get it through your heads.  Israel has controlled American policy since 1948.  It's the "New World Order".

The doctrine that you're speaking of actually says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."  The US Supreme Court expanded on that, realizing that the doctrine in the Constitution had no "teeth" without clarification.  In other words, they expanded it from Congress not being able to make a law *establishing* one (ie. a national religion) to include Congress not being able to make laws favoring a particular religion over another (or over a non-religion).  Who the people vote for is an entirely different matter.  First, the doctrine applies to laws and legislation.  Secondly, it would be utterly unconstitutional to disallow anyone not specifically defined in the Constitution from running for office.  The people of the U.S. have the absolute right to cast their vote for whomever they choose, as long as that person has the requisite citizenship and has attained the mandated age.

I agree that you shouldnt have to if you dont want to.  But to BAN it is absurd, so if you did go and say it would you get in trouble?  People who disagree with this should stand up and say it anyways, its protected by the first amendment.

It's not possible to deny other ethnic groups the right to vote in this country. There would be race riots that would tear the U.S. apart.

Israel is the biggest American problem. There is no simple answer to the Israeli problem both political parties are manged by the Israeli lobby. The Israeli lobby is the most power full lobby in Washington. the lobby can make or brake any candidates to congress who want to be an enemy of the lobby or vote against lobby bills. Read what Sharon told Paras on a debate on Israeli radio"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." -- Ariel Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael

I knew about all of these and tell other people.  Unfortunately, people ignorantly give Israelis a permanent "get out of jail free" card regardless of how repugnant, murderous and terroristic their actions are.\n\nNo doubt you have been call "anti-semetic" as much as I have for saying these things, and no doubt you defend Israel's right to exist, as I do.\n\nOh, that's right: any criticism of Israel means you're a "nazi", no matter how factual your words are....

They don't want trouble.\n Doubt about Holocaust for Jews is something like Mohammad cartoons for Muslims, they are sensitive about it so it's better to be gentle and accept their limits.\nThe only government involve in holocaust was Germany and they have confessed that they did it and they don't want more problem, so they ban their scientists.

no, at least not among ashkenazic jews (european descent, about 80% of jews). the rabbis passed edicts forbidding it a very long time ago. in some sephardic communities (iberian and sometimes arabic and persian descent) there are no rabbinical laws against it but i don't know if they actually do it.

Absolutely, just about all of the Bush administration's policies are formed by the Jewish lobby.  If it wasn't for the zionists there wouldn't be any wars in the middle east.

As a subject nation, Judea was not allowed to have their own army.  It wouild be the Roman legion or nothing.  Most likely nothing. As a rabbi he would seek a religious exemption.

Just for the record: in this country, jews have notoriously helped and supported all minority groups in this country... I am jewish and know my American-Jewish history very well.\n\nYou do realize that everything you said is no better than any of those you accuse to be preaching hate and separatism?

Yes.  Isreal is defined as a Jewish State, so therefore granting voting rights to Jews only will preserve the identity of the State of Isreal as a Jewish State.\n\nMore important than an ethnic majority, however, is a cultural majority.  A nation must define a culture and demand investment in that culture by its citizens.  The more dynamic the culture, the more dynamic the society.\n\nA nation is defined by its borders, its language, and its culture.  Detstoy any one of these three pillars of the tripod, and the whole thing comes tumbling down.

IT is about time someone spoke up,and thanks for your courage.Under the protection of the united states Israel has behaved so badly in it's dealing with its enemies.When one objects to their inhumane behavior,they raise the antisemitic flag.This is supposed to quell opposition to their actions.

Absolutely. Being forced to swear on a Bible would violate the Constitution, which forbids religious tests as qualifications for public office.\n\nArticle VI of the Constitution of the United States of America reads, in part:\n\nThe Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Yes.\nThere's also plenty of anti-semitism out in the open in Britain.  London's mayor, Ken Livingstone, has (very) publicly uttered many anti-semitic comments.
