Gee Phil. How many American and Mexican flags do you think you'll see flying in California in two week?

Priceless photo! Now, why would a member of the House of Representatives of the US Congress fly a foreign flag next to the American flag at her home? Let's see how long before the Israeli flag comes down. I can't wait to hear the explanation. I also can't wait to hear the explanation why the Israeli flag is flying. Harman is not an Israeli citizen, is she? Is she an honorary Israeli citizen, perhaps?

She's Jewish, the one thing no one wants to report.

JES, your point is well made. Speaking for myself, when I saw all the Mexican flags at the huge pro-amnesty rallies I immediately joined FAIR.

seethelight, I don't think this photo has any context. How do you know where it is?

So is this indeed Jane Jarmans house?

@JES: Dual loyalty is okay if the person in question is some random citizen (like Mexicans in California). When it's am Member of Congress, a committee head no less, then there is a problem.

Serve your own country first and foremost, that's what the tax payers pay you for.

I'm pretty sure Jane Harman isn't stupid enough to fly flags like that at her house. My guess it's typical AIPAC supporter, rich enough not to give a damn what people think.

dual loyalty as someone(sobran?) said would be an improvement. they(non jews in politics) have one loyalty and that is to jewry. jewry, the jews, have one loyalty and that is to themselves. israel is part of jewry.

And this is the best we have done? That does it, my next bath is going to be in a baptismal font. I have hesitated until now, because I know how disappointed my wife will be when my foreskin doesn't grow back after baptism. I would hate to see her deepest religious assumptions smashed to flinders. I heard that poppies grow good in flinders, anyway.
