A hyphenated American is not an American at all.
This is just as true of the man who puts Native
before the hyphen as of the man who puts German
or Irish or English or French before the hyphen.
Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.
Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.
We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other
allegiance.
Theodore Roosevelt, 12 October 1915

She sounds like a great lady. Unfortunately, Glendale has been trending leftward since the 1990’s.

Real Americans do not hyphenate themselves no matter where they were born.

How silly! Kudos to immigrant Armineh Chelebian and her success. This is what America and the American dream are all about ... and has been for many generations!

Except for the Irish who celebrate Irish festivals, wear ‘Kiss me I’m Irish’, etc.
Except for the Italians who pride themselves of being Italian in culture, food, mentality, etc.
Except for the Greeks who have Greek festivals throughout the U.S., movies, events.
Course all of us are Americans point of assimilating. I think Iranians have mixed better than the above.

RIght! And not only that, "he" is a woman!

How silly! Okay shall I be Brit-American, Scott-American, or Irish-American? My friends can be German-American, French-American, and Spanish-American. Then there is my wife who is Brazilian-American.
If we can hyphenate we should hyphenate everyone and pretty much the only people that would be American are the Native Americans.

Do you have a problem with the ‘Kiss Me I’m Irish’ t-shirts?
Not even hypothenated Irish-American, just Irish. Where are the protests?
To: Domandred
Lighten up Francis.
I agree with you that if a person is born in the US then that person is American. However, for naturalized citizens I can see a point to using the hyphens.

Be whatever you need to be, but, excuse me, I do not see the phrase "Iranian-American Republican" used anywhere in the source document you linked to; just in your title for this thread. I DO see the phrase "Iranian-Armenian-American" used to properly describe her background prior to age 16. Seems to me like a relevant disclosure on her part if I am being asked to make an informed choice on her experience and qualifications.

I can't.
If they come here, they should come to be Americans, period.
If they want to maintain their allegiance to their old country, then don't become a citizen of this country.
Besides, if they can't figure out this is the best country on earth and much better than where they came from, even with all of America's current problems, then they are too dumb to be Americans and I for one would rather they stay in their own country.

Agree 100%. I ran into her and she sure smells fishy. She is about 400 Ibs and sure looks like a Muslim to me.
This is her second attempt to run.

My worry. Can you confirm sources ?
