Monika:
She seems to be a pretty cool woman.

I like this one, "Become a Quaker! Woot woot! All the following of Jesus without the American culture aftertaste."

By "valid" I mean that he has every right to hold and express this opinion. Again, as a columnist, he is paid to do that sort of thing.
I don't disagree at all that Pitts is using Rice's declarations as an opportunity to make a partisan point. What I disagree with is your assertion that this is inappropriate or lacking in "integrity."

gee, Keith Olbermann stated some months ago that he wore the moniker of "Dinosaur" with pride.
Madcow? Oh, that must just be a slip of the keyboard - look you will see that the "c" and the "d" are right next to each other. :)
We agree, Pitts had the "right" to state his opinion. We don't agree that is was appropriate within the context.
See above, as Reagan said to Gorby - "We will just have to agree to disagree" :)

is there something "distasteful" about American culture? (what is American culture, by the way?)

Good for him, but it's not whether people are bothered by it or not, it's that you always seem to feel the need to say it.

And, like Pitts, you have a right (no quotation marks) to state your opinion about this. :)
