"Oooo watch where you step here... I'm sure there are many here who, if they were forced to choose between their country and their God, would disagree with you."

So what? Am I supposed to be afraid of people disagreeing with me? If that were the case, I'd have bolted at your first challenge (which, by the way, I don't mind at all, I rather enjoy a stimulating debate, it is your lack of courtesy that I find unpleasant.) I am sure many here disagree with me on many topics..but that's ok, we aren't leftists, we don't have to walk in lockstep; I left that behind in Dummieland.
I suspect that most loyal Americans don't feel that they have to choose between God and America. And if they did, that choice is their business, isn't it? My opinion that our first loyalty should be to our country is just that--an opinion. You and anyone else on this forum are free to jump right in and disagree with that opinion. You can go first, have at it.
You might want to take a page from Gondring's book--he does not agree with me, but he is a gentleman about it and doesn't resort to name calling and insult.
James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement:
"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
"We pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Our nation was, is, and always will be UNDER GOD!
Not Allah!
