Seems to me that the founding fathers thought they were on a mission from God, too, but I don't hear anyone criticizing them for that.

Then you must not be hanging out on any left-wing blogs, or you'd hear plenty of criticism of those racist sexist white males for not setting up the United States as a socialist state.

Funny, I don't see any of those liberals who think it was so bad to colonize the US volunteering to leave. They seem to feel just fine about staying and continuing to enjoy the fuits of all that oppression.
