Proud To Be An American/Idahoan

On his Facebook wall, Randy Stapilus/Ridenbaugh Press asks:

Do you consider yourself an "American" -- a citizen of the United States -- first and then secondarily a citizen of your state (Oregonian, Idahoan, Utahn, Californian, Texan, whatever)? Or, state citizen first, then of the nation?

Question: Are you prouder to be an American? Or an Idahoan?
