Alvin York a Scotch-Irish? My great grandmother was a York and I've killed some time tracing the roots on the family tree and from what I've seen, the Tennessee Yorks came from England, not Scotland or Ireland. The Scotch-Irish have done a lot to settle and defend the country, but I don't think Sgt. York was one of them.

I like James Webb, but in reality I'm not sure that it really matters. The only ethnic group that matters now is AMERICAN.

"The only ethnic group that matters now is AMERICAN."

However, I now have a HUGE problem with Muslim Americans. If you read their "guide book" (called the Koran), you see clearly that allegiance to that chimera named "Allah," created by an illiterate brigand 1,400 years ago (Muhammed), comes first, last and always.

Since they are taught from babyhood that Islam and "Allah" come first, how can they be true, patriotic Americans?...........let alone part of an "ethnic group" that is American?!

They aren't even allowed to associate with non-Muslims, and their marriages are always arranged with other Muslims, so genetically, they will never assimilate, and I dare say not socially or culturally, either.
