American “Exceptionalism” – What Is It and Is It Real?

It is real! It is obvious to every other nation but marginalized by our own government! To what end is our government dismissing American Exceptionalism? I believe it is part of the ‘larger plan’ of the ‘progressives’ to enslave the American People so they can create their one-world utopia! But because American Exceptionalism is part of our American DNA, they will fail and fail miserably! At the same time, because of the Bush/Obama, Democrat/Republican ‘progressive’ agenda and spending spree, they may very well bankrupt this nation!

Even if they succeed in bankrupting us, we will survive because that is part of our exceptionalism! Legal emigrants come to this nation and are assimilated; part of the assimilation is American exceptionalism. To understand American exceptionalism, you must study this nation’s history and how our Constitution was created. It was created by very wise men who studied history of governments and mankind; they saw what worked and what didn’t work – That is why we are a Republic and not a democracy!

Democracy is another lie spread by the ‘progressives’ in both parties – Never, in the history of mankind, has a democracy succeeded and every time a democracy fails, an oligarchy or a dictator becomes the government!

We are a nation of laws, not of men! If a law needs to be changed, as they do from time to time, you change the law – You do not ignore it and allow it to be broken at-will! But that is another subject for another Blog.

Our founding fathers, for the most part, were Christians; probably the least religious of the founders was Ben Franklin and even he prayed for Divine guidance but the founders also didn’t want the government to establish a national religion – That was one of the reasons they had left England was the King imposed the Church of England and our founders believed in freedom of religion; a national church would quash that dearly held freedom. I believe Patrick Henry summed up the founding fathers thinking on this subject best of any of them when he said, “It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.” That philosophy is part of our American Exceptionalism – No other nation had been established with religious freedom at the forefront of it’s founding!

And because we were founded on the gospel of Jesus Christ, we receive our Liberties from God, not from man! That is the real threat of ‘progressivism’ ~ The ‘progressives’ are doing their best to remove God from everything about this nation; specifically, they want Christianity vilified with the intent of making us godless! If they succeed in that endeavor, we will no longer have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and property! Without God, our freedoms come from the government and what the government gives, it will take away. One way they are destroying our Christian faith is through false “ministers" who are now preaching ‘collective salvation’ and ‘collective rights’ – There is no such thing as ‘collective salvation’ and ‘collective rights’ is a fallacy of the ‘progressives’! That is like saying the only ones who will make it to Heaven belong to one church; that would make the teachings of Christ a lie and we know God is not a liar – Only Lucifer and man can lie! We were granted Individual Rights from God, not from the government! Our Bill of Rights is not rights granted by the government; the Bill of Rights is part of the contract restricting the government’s intervention with the People!

Another part of our exceptionalism comes from the fact we believe in self-governance – Liberals and Conservatives voice this equally but both sides forget that self-governance is individual freedom of choice! Self-sufficiency and self-reliance allows for self-governance but our government is hell-bent on destroying these traits for their own self-interest! We must not allow that to happen or we become Europe, allowing the ‘progressives’ and George Soros to win – We must not let losers win this war or we all become enslaved losers!

It matters not whether you are first generation, fifth generation, or, in my case, 1648 is when Francis Howard emigrated to the colonies and three generations later, three half-breed Cherokee Howard’s fought with George Washington in the Revolution, we are all exceptional! American Exceptionalism is an acquired DNA trait or we wouldn’t have ‘progressives’ in America!

To preserve American Exceptionalism, we must dismantle the “Nanny State” the ‘progressives’ in both parties have assembled while we, the People, were asleep at the wheel and steeped in apathy! The Nanny State is failing and we have one shot at dismantling it the right way or letting it happen naturally – If we do it as it should be done, it will be very painful but if we wait for nature to dismantle it, it will be catastrophic and chaotic! I hope we elect to dismantle it the right way!

In summary, American Exceptionalism is a result of our individual God-given Liberties, our self-sufficiency, our self-governance, and our ability to think and reason for ourselves! As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “We will overcome!” We will overcome our present dire economy and Marxist infestation from the ‘progressives’ in both parties because we are Americans and Americans are exceptional!
