Is
the United States just like other nations? Or is there something unique
about its founding that resolves the central issue of politics, namely
what is the best practical regime for most people? If I read the current
president correctly, he does not think that the United States has
anything exceptional about it.
Indeed,
he apparently thinks that the very notion of this exceptionalism has
caused havoc in the world. In a quasi-Marxist analysis, America has
“exploited” the world to its benefit. The president’s mission is to set
things right by reducing America to size.http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2013/american-un-exceptionalism.html
