I downvoted based on the title alone, but as soon as I saw the meme I upvoted. Well done.

I was inspired to do this when I saw a discussion between Stephen Colbert and Clarissa Ward where she said that people around the world were no longer seeing America as a beacon of human rights and freedom and I almost laughed out loud; there's literally quotes by African leaders going back many decades about how awful America and France are, then you also have the stuff the government and the CIA were getting up to in South America, or the brutal repression of communists even in the Middle East, or the brutality against the people of Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia and Laos, and like.....since when was America considered a beacon of human rights and freedom?
