Is "Homo politicus Americanus" good Greek / Latin. Is it the right form for a subspecies name? Should "Americanus" be capitalized or not?

Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.

Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

Don't think Americanus should have the big A.
Politicus just doesn't work in Latin. Can't seem to think of any word that gets our modern concept across. Urban, civil, these have their Latin counterparts, but "political" just stumps the heck out of me.
How about Homo publicus americanus
Well, it depends on what you're using this for. Which is more important: making it intelligible to the Romans or making it intelligible to someone who's just skimming the text and might not know any Latin?
Zoologists in general often like to play games with animal names; they don't really have to obey Latin or Greek word formation rules. There's a whole website dedicated to creative zoological names at http://www.curioustaxonomy.net/ .
I got one:
How about--Dumb Stupid Americans.
That ought to cover the dung-hill heap called America.
Homo politicus Americanus is fine.
politicus -a -um [of the state , political]
See: http://archives.nd.edu/latgramm.htm
and the Vatican dictionary of Latin placenames says that Americanius -a -um.
Their use is to capitalize Americanus, but you could change it with no problem. Who's going to object?
Well, what do you know, Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona - who tried to help pass amnesty last year - is another secret iSteve reader:
Kyl calls for breakup, sale of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac

"The banks were forced - literally forced - to make mortgage loans to a lot of people that in the past they hadn't made them to, because (the people) couldn't afford them," Kyl said in a teleconference with Arizona reporters.
"But they were deemed to be red-lining, to be discriminating against people who need to share in the American dream of home ownership. Well, it's a great dream, and we want as many people to share in it as possible, but not if they can't afford it," he said."
Hey, Senator, if they can't afford the American dream, is there any way we can pay low income legal immigrants $100,000 per legal immigrant to agree to leave the United States?
What's wrong with Mencken's "boobus Americanus"?
Are you referring to "Log Cabin Republicans"? (I'm not sure how to capitalize that either)
If not, maybe you should rethink this. ;)
Just don't step on my turf.

No, Americanus should not be capitalized because it is a species/subspecies name. Only genera name should be capitalized:
Genera species subspecies
