[The Right Stuff]

"God bless Egypt, God bless Islam, God bless America - if they do the right thing."**

And this is from a guy who's been here 22 years? Is he a citizen? Are his family Americans?

I'm sorry, I am as tolerant as they come and have ancestry from a lot of different countries. I have relatives who have been here since the 1500's and my husband's grandfather emigrated in the 1920's so we run the full gamut.

However, if these people do not put America first and foremost in their consideration before Egypt and Islam, and then qualify their statement by saying "God Bless America, if it does the right thing..." that truly pi$$es me off to no end.

I say we need to do some serious repatriating of these Arab-Americans who seem to leave off the American at the end.

Dear Stuff: I agree with everything that you said, but for me if I had to choose between being an American or being a Christian there could only be one choice. Thank God I am living in the USA and don't have to make that choice. For muslims there is no choice. Their loyalty to American is qualified on whether or not America "does" the "right thing" in their eyes. They want America (all of it), to bow to their religion! Not this Christian!
