If it wasn't for those "lime suckers" we'd still be suffering from scurvy.
And, since the French were somewhat allies during that little mid-1700's dust-up, I trust your list of insults has nothing but kind adjectives for the "frogs".

No battle intended at all; but, an argument or viewpoint carries more weight if the background details are somewhat based on fact.

Not sure what your point was, to be honest, though I think I was able to figure it out. The "Founding Fathers" limited voting rights to propertied white men, regarded a black man as 3/5 of a white man and ignored women completely. I don't see this as a sign of something to emulate.
Then there are the "Alien and Sedition Acts" of 1798 to consider.
