given how good a job they've done with the place. Funnily enough, it's not the first time I've heard an American say that. This bunch are Republicans, though. They were quoting revolutionary leaders to each other. One quote finished with "we're a new nationality, we require a new nation". So I jumped in with "and then the French got you one".
Pretty edgy internetting, I'm sure you'll agree.
