Fellow Biker (I own a H-D Sporty 1200):
When you say "they" you are including me. My passport says I am an American. My retired military I.D. says I am an American. My dad buried at a National Cemetery says I am an American.
Another Freeper mentioned once in one of these PR threads that when Lee was talking about his "country" and his "countrymen" he was talking about Virginia and Virginians. Puerto Ricans follow the same traditions, where my country is the physical space where we live and our nation is the a federalist United States of America.
Please see my profile and read the preamble to the PR Constitution.
See you on the road,

Nice bike, I have one of those myself.
I would consider you and your family to be the minority. Of all the Puerto Ricans I have met (out of several hundred)and or talked to you would be the second I've spoken with to not hold the states in utter contempt.
I say tell those that want to come to come and let the rest stay there and make a go of being independent.
