    'American Exceptionalism' is always valid, it is only now days, the government of Obama is trying to 'minimalize' it!

    When America is strong and self-confident, we lead the world economy, and in medical research, technology, space exploration, and stabilize the waring factions.

    We act as arbitrator against tyranny in foreign policy and we are the first to react to catastrophes and emergencies.

    "American exceptionalism has been historically referred to as the belief that the United States differs qualitatively from other developed nations because of its national credo, historical evolution, or distinctive political and religious institutions."

    American Exceptionalism Today

    'Exceptionalism' is a buzz-word for 'elite deviance' . Bringing back the ol' d'roit du seigneur crap on a national level and calling it a new idea, even though it harks back to all three of the Reichs.

    Thanks to Obama, we don't have it anymore. Obama wanted to put us even with Third World countries, and he is succeeding. Our schools suck, NASA was pretty much defunded so all those space engineers are looking for management positions at Wal-mart and McDonald's or Whattaburger. Yeah, that's what we go to college for now.
