  But as a Baptist, for some reason this election of a pope has fascinated me this time.

  It's not semantics. It's clarity.
  
  I was blasted long ago on here for reminding people that Canadians are Americans as much as Argentinians and U.S. Citizens are.
  
  There's clarity in the statement that has been ridiculed on this forum, "USA Americans".

  There is clarity in the statement, however it's original intent was to say that people from the USA are more american and better, which is why it was ridiculed.

  Lighten up Francis. It's my ongoing joke of supposedly not liking Asians.

  VBall replied to CC. It was Ted Sheckler who replied to you. So your response is to the wrong person.
  
  Which means that I, for one, am hoping you aren't part of our educational system.
  
  Hope this helps.
