You want some ranking criteria? Try these:

I think the real point of your line of questioning is that you are unable to understand and defend what constitutes freedom.
Consult the above.

If you think that the US ranked badly, you don't understand the data.
If it didn't then what is your complaint?

If you want to have a country that's the best in the world because it has more nuclear weapons than anyone else and has the largest GDP in the world that's the country you'll end up with
Great! I'll take it!

MO, what you don't realize is that the biggest threat to the principles of democracy is the "conservative" leadership of the last 20 years.
You Brits were on your way into the third world until you got someone- -Margaret Thatcher- -who started straightening you out. "The sick man of Europe"- -remember that?
Apparently the lesson has worn off. Now you are pining for your socialist cesspool.

Ever notice how that smart ambitious Brits end up here? My neighbor is a Brit. He's VP of a semiconductor firm here in Silicon Valley. Two homes (on very expensive Silicon Valley real estate), drives a Jaguar, flies his parents over here from Britain several times a year to visit. He doesn't miss his lack of opportunity in Britain.

You Brits used to know how to run a country; hell, you knew how to run an empire. What went wrong?
