In turns of progress of civilisation the US is always about 50 years behind Europe.
It's what happens when you're comprised of Europe's cast offs.
oh, you mean like....say.....when America was a constitutional republic while most Europeans were still being ruled by a monarch....or say the time leading up to World War 2, for example?
Democracy and civilisation don't always go hand and hand. By your logic the Romans were more civilised than 19th Century Europe.
All civilisations progress to the left, and Europe's political spectrum is quite considerably to the left than the US. America will get there eventually, it's just a little retarded.
