Sorry, but I've put up with a lot of crap about work how we're not supposed to consider ourselves "American," but merely citizens of the United States. Here in DC, if you use the word, "American" to describe someone from the USA, you'll find yourself in hot water real fast. Even the Republican President of the United States of American won't use the word "America." (Notice, he's POTUS, not POTUSA.)

So, no, it's not on the same par as electing perverts to be bishops, but I am still very disturbed to find that even the Anglicans in Africa deny us the right to have our own nationality, if that's indeed what's going on here.

But if you're happy being denied the right to consider yourself an American, so be it. At least my Pope still calls us "America."

I haven't been denied the right to call myself "American", like the Dixie Chicks are not being denied their free speech.
