::: The term creates confusion about citizenship.  There's no denying that.  It is used in far less than 1% of the websites referring to [[Thomas Nast]].  But [[Wikipedia]] with its anti-[[American]] and [[globalist]] bias, pushes the confusing term.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 09:37, 28 December 2007 (EST)

:First, if you are confused about dual citizenship, then only because you don't know that Germany doesn't allow for dual citizenship. And afaik, neither does the US.  Can you give us a reference for your 1% figure. I guess the confusion just arises from being unfamiliar with the phenomenon of Hyphen-American in 19th and the first half of the 20th century. Even the German heritage site list Thomas Nast as a famous German-American[http://www.germanheritage.com/biographies/mtoz/nast.html], same holds a 1983 Presidential Commission for German-American Tricentennial [http://usa.usembassy.de/etexts/ga-tricentennialreport.htm]. And in 1987 President Reagan proclaimed a German-American Day on October 6 [http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1987/100287d.htm], and from the proclamation it is obvious that it refers to Americans of Germen descent.
