America’s Exceptional Faith
Some people struggle with the phrase “American exceptionalism.”
Our 44th president, Barack Obama, seemed uncomfortable with the concept when he said, “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.”
In other words, everyone’s nation is special in their own eyes.
That’s true to a degree, but it’s also a fact that America’s founding was unique to history. Establishing our Constitutional republic amounted to a 5000 year leap in good government.
But there’s one more thing that makes us unique. What is it?
America’s exceptional faith.
Deception and Possible Felonies in High Places
I really enjoyed the original Superman TV series when I was a kid. It starred George Reeves and contained “amazing” special effects that showed Superman jumping up into the sky like he was flying (primitive by today’s standards).
Once each episode, Superman would explain his purpose: “I’m here to promote truth, justice, and the American Way.”
When we first heard those words, nobody laughed and everyone agreed.
Not now.
Not only would that statement draw snickers in many quarters today, but it’s being destroyed by what used to be the preeminent “truth, justice and the American Way” department of the United States government.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Here’s my report on deception and possible felonies in high places and what we must do about it.
Grading Trump’s First Year: Fair and Balanced
As I recently argued, a wide array of political forces despise Donald Trump because he halted the triumph of secular-progressive values in the United States in the 2016 election.
On the eve of his first State of the Union address, here are my grades for the first year of the Trump presidency—fair and balanced.
I welcome your response.
