Why do you American's hate France so much, when it is our country that you built your model for civil liberty?
Can I have my statue back at least?

How do you figure that? Everyone knows that the French Revolution was a inspired by the American Revolution.

Not so much inspired as caused. They went bankrupt financing us. This put a magnifying glass on the inequalities of their class system.

What I love about democracy is that it is such a leftist, liberal idea. The conservatives were all like, no no, we have to keep the King!! But those damn lefty
liberals said No! We want freedom from the tyranny of Monarchy!
God Bless the Liberals. Otherwise our national anthem would still be God Save the Queen. |

Oh, and both the U.S. and France instituted a republican from of government and not a democracy per se.

It was to stop Rome and Germany from having you in slave camps. Someone had to belly up to the battle. Too bad it took France Jr so long to show up. But then
again, you knew that by waiting, you could come in at the end, all rested up and stuff.

Oh, those Founding Fathers were such a liberal bunch - that's why they were generally from the upper echelons of society, allowed slavery to
continue, didn't allow for direct election of presidents or senators, etc. etc. Hell, the first form of government they instituted under the Articles of
Confederation didn't even give the national government the power to demand taxes from the states.

Those that believed in Democracy were run out of Rome. They fled to France.

Rome had a democracy that was built on the rich. If you were in the shithole, you didn't get a vote. Also if you didn't vote the right way, you could
be killed, so not sure how the whole Rome starting democracy works.
France was the first true democracy! It was actually led by the Kings of France. They set everyone free! Those people founded North America, and as France saw how plentiful North America was, he realized people could be free. Vive la France |
