I am sick and tired of hyphenated americans. It is a form of political correctness that is supposed to make people feel different because being American just isn't good enough anymore. But doesn't that dilute rather than make stronger? I mean you, take an alcoholic beverage. Isn't straight gin stronger than a gin-tonic?
So why do black people get away with being African-Americans? Most of them have never been to Africa and probably couldn't find Sierra Leone on a map if their lives depended on it. And Mexican-Americans? Many of them using this title are not legal anyway.
Which brings me to women with two or hyphenated last names... Is this a code for LIB? Seems to me a conservative woman would either a) change her last name to her husband's after marrying or b) keep her last name and be independent. But what about Hillary Rodham-Clinton? Then she becomes Hillary Rodham. Now she is just Hillary Clinton. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!! Or is that the definition of liberalism? Changing one's mind... on a whim.
