What makes America "exceptional" are the "exceptional" people that have come from countries that wouldn't allow them to benefit from their
exceptionalism. America is the ONLY country in the world that is made up of people from around the world...that were/are exceptional.
That's why America is "exceptional" has been the freedom to be "exceptional"!
Almost all the major advancements in the past 150 years have been because America rewards people that are exceptional and those exceptional people took their OWN chances,energy lives to advance themselves. All because these exceptional people recognized one simple common fact.
The United States rewards exceptionalism! Math,science,building things, running things, i.e. all the activities that a country needs to advance their society was achieved by these "exceptional" people.
And all you critics of American exceptionalism are seen as idiots by these "exceptional" people that have come from countries where women HAVE to walk behind a man! Where a member of a "caste" will never get ahead... but in America CAN. From countries that practice barbaric acts on their people and the "exceptional" ones have escaped!
YES... America is exceptional because Americans are comprised of people from other countries THAT ARE EXCEPTIONAL and ONLY in America can they become what their exceptionalism provides... the freedom to be exceptional!!!
Horseshit. You'll find as much if not more people-diversity in, say, Canada. Or Brasil. Less racism too.
Get your head out of thesandmirror. You and I are no 'better' than a random Swede, Indian or Japanese.
This elitism crap belongs in the crapper.
What other Nation in the world has a Government by the People with unalienable rights that men's laws can't touch?
I don't happen to have the Constitutions of every nation strapped to my wrist but that's not what his post was about anyway. It was about (1) pretending nobody has the melting pot we do and (2) naked jingoist elitism. He didn't post anything about governments or rights.
But since those nasty Liberals founded this one, it's been copied and adapted --- a lot.
I think you misread that Pogo.
What he said is not about other countries having the diversity of people from different countries.
He is talking about any person who comes to America has the freedom to be what they want to be and the freedom to use their skills to advance our society.
They came to America for that freedom.
