When asked about American exceptionalism, Our President said he also believes in British ,Greek and every nations exceptionalism ( effectively rendering the term Exceptionalism, meaningless)....Typical relativism..... the total inability to make any distinction between Greece and The United States is stunning....
The hallmark of liberal thinking is the inability to make realistic distinctions between unlike objects and the penchant to make distinctions where there aren't any.
I recently realized the people on the left confuse American exceptionalism with blind nationalism... mostly because it fits their "laziness template" of conservatism. There is obviously a clear distinction....
Once they can understand the real difference, they have to re- think their position and/or defend it , and that is too much work for a lib... not to mention it doesn't give them that irreverent feeling, that is the fuel and reason for leftism.
For liberals, the rebellion itself
is "the End", not "the means."
I wonder if the President ever stops and asks himself why he even has the ability to speak as the leader of the free world, and garner so much respect abroad....the answer is that same American exceptionalism that created the strongest and most respected nation the world has ever known.
Why doesn't Sweden or Greece command so much respect? They're obviously so much more enlightened then us...
Liberals are nothing more than well- meaning fools, kind of like idealistic teenagers who reap the benefits of their parents hard work.
They adorn themselves in cool political fashions, and walk down runways of self congratulation. Never asking if results are more important than good intentions.
