    Can a Muslim be a good American?

    Back in the 1920's and again in 1960, the question was 'can a Catholic be a good American'? John F Kennedy demonstrated to the racist twits out there that they had no cause to fear a takeover of the country by the Pope. [Of course, in 2004, the smear campaign stated that John Kerry was unsuitable to be President because he would not permit a takeover of the country by the Pope]

    I intend to vote for Obama in November, there is no other choice. If Obama is not elected, then I will act as though the office of President is vacant.
