Every democratic uprising since? That might be stretching it especially since the US has in recent decades has helped dictators squash democratic uprisings (Egypt, anyone?). And anyways, the government we have today in 2011 is much, much more tyrannical and hostile to liberty than the British one the founders fought against in 1776 which kind of defeats the purpose of the Revolution.
