The Passing of American Exceptionalism: How We Became Like All the Other Nations

The original American exceptionalism was about individual self-determination. It was clearly not about cradle-to-grave control, administered by two interlocked cabals in the capital city.

Once, America was truly different. People lived as they wished and barely saw the government. They had rights that government couldn't touch, not just in propaganda, but in real life.

Now, America is the same as all the other nations, and government reigns supreme. Personal sovereignty has been outlawed.

There are still a few currents from the early days running through American hearts, and I do pray that they continue. But to pretend that American exceptionalism exists on any level beyond that is misleading propaganda... a pretty lie that encourages us to praise ourselves.
