American Exceptionalism—In God’s Eyes | Capital Commentary

American Exceptionalism—In God’s Eyes | Capital Commentary  MGB: American Exceptionalism, in the eyes of culture theory, is the unique confluence of Liberty and Equality.  In much of Europe, rights come from the state rather than from God, so in a very real sense, our exceptionalism is God given.  We are still a work in progress and imperialism, both military and economic, do not fit in well with our founding narrative (not that the founders did not want us to be a great power, they certainly did).  If we are true to our ideals, however, we must abandon world supremacy and stand up for the ideals of liberty and equality that make us different in the first place - shunning those who don't share those views if we must.  Think of what the world would be like if our views on God given liberty and equality were universal to the planet!
