America: The Most Exceptional Nation on Earth. Ever.

Unlike our current President (and most Liberals), I believe in American exceptionalism. Hell, I’ll take that a step further: I believe that our country is the most exceptional nation on this planet — not only now, but ever.

As one of my favorite former-bloggers (Annie) once wrote:

i believe in American exceptionalism. i don’t think America needs to be more humble. If my country has ever flipped anyone off in the past, that’s something i want to see more of. Look at the scoreboard. Was America “scratching its nose” with the middle finger when we saved the world from tyranny three times in one century? Like the song says, fuck yeah! Was it arrogance when our fifth president declared “hands off this hemisphere” to the superpowers of his day? Or when T.R. said “let’s build that fucking canal!” (paraphrasing). Or when Jack promised we’d walk on the moon within the decade? Sure it was. And so what?

But perhaps the best explanation and defense of America’s exceptionalism is this must-see video from PJ TV’s Bill Whittle:

Go watch the whole thing. And then come back here and try to convince me why America is not vastly more exceptional than any other nation on this planet. Oh, and please try to bring some facts with you.
