How the liberals made Britain ashamed of being Great

The difference being that the British nationalists are right and the Americans nationalists are just beliving in fairytales and mythology.

The truth of the matter is that Froggy started attacking the British colonies in North America. The British came over and defeated the French, thus bailing out the British colonies. Then when the British, quite RIGHTLY, asked the British people in those colonies to pay for the war that we won for them, they threw their dummies out of the pram and wanted independence.

You don't find all this in any Yankee Doodle history book though. Oh no. They have the Yanks believing that evil Britain was taxing them to the hilt and the colonists fought against those taxes, when the reality is that the colonists were extremely pampered and paid just a miniscule amount of taxes that the British paid back home. The vast majority of the colonists had no problem with paying these taxes and most were against independence (some estimates put the colonists' support for American independence at just 30%). Indeed, many colonists fought with the British against the Yankee nationalists.

Also, as I've pointed out, French involvement in the conflict bankrupted France and sowed the seeds for the French Revolution.

Britain was alright though. The wealthiest nation on the planet easily paid off its War of Independence debts, so France emerged from the conflict worse off than Britain.

It's just nice to point out the inconvenient truths to the Yanks every now and then. It's just up to them whether they choose to accept them. It's not my problem.

Nice piece of revisionist history. You need to read a real history book or two.

loling at all the pics of the Brit army handing over their weapons, hanging their heads and leaving the field in disgrace. I never really knew that there were so many losses before.

As an observation, I suggest the following; the British army would do very well to spend less time designing ridiculous head gear that is only effective in providing a visible target and more time preparing for an actual fight... Or maybe preparing their surrender speeches.

A lot of Canadian bears died for those hats.

 

[EagleSmack]

Feral cat hats were their only other option.

You spelled rat wrong

 

[Zipperfish]

LOL.


Please... can you at least try at make this competitive?

And the white house burned burned burned down
And we're the ones that did it
It burned burned burned
while the president ran and cried
It burned burned burned down
And things were very historical
and the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
wah wah wah!
In the war of 1812

That's nice. But why would you apologize for something that you didn't do? :lol:

Just the kind of guys we are. We could have given you a worse asskicking, but magnanimous folks that we are, we were satisfied with you just going away.

By the way, you were in such a hurry to leave, you forgot to take your culture.

Moving the goal posts. :lol:

There we have it in a nutshell. You feel a true lack of identity and lack of culture so you believe in myths that were created for people just like you.

Sweet. Thanks for undoing yourself for me. :lol:

Don't make me send Rob Ford down there! On the plus side, that would raise the average IQ of both countries.

It's not so much rampapnt natioalism asit is this perverse pleasure we in Canada get in watching Americans squirm whenever the War of 1812 comes up. They just can't bring themsleves to admit it, and it's funny to watch.

I love when one talks about how smart they are and then posts a disaster such as this.

Why do you make this so easy?
