"Anglo American values" = the United States and its institutions
Samuel P. Huntington noted in "Who Are We?" that by 1790 the US European settler stock that created America's founding documents and institutions was 98 percent Protestant, 80 percent British, 60% ethnically English. A lot of that has changed, but the history hasn't
Huntington and others argued convincingly that no other group had a greater impact on America's foundational documents and institutions and ideas of government. But what should be a simple and harmless statement of fact is of course controversial in Current Year
Counterpoint: 
The only real debate imo is whether there was something about 18th century Anglo-Saxon liberalism that made where we are now an inevitability, not whether they had a dominant influence on the founding
