Oh, and just to set the record straight...the first country to recognize Americas independence from England (other that America) was ENGLAND, right after we handed them their ass on a  platter.

Wrong again.  From nation specific pages at:  http://history.state.gov/countries/

France recognized the United States as an independent state on February 6, 1778, when France's Secretary of His Majesty's Council of State, Conrad Alexander Gérard, and American Commissioners Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane, and Arthur Lee signed three treaties in Paris.

The United Kingdom officially recognized American independence by signing the Treaty of Paris of 1783. David Hartley, a Member of Parliament representing British King George III, signed the treaty along with the American delegation of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay on September 3, 1783.

With good information like that, socialism and liberalism just don't seem right at all.
