AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM

[Sean Meyer]

American Exceptionalism is the idea that America is different from other countries because of our government, and that we should be viewed as such because we are different, and better, too

[Sean Meyer]

So, what do you think of American Exceptionalism?

[Michael McIntyre]

what I think of American Exceptionalism is that we are still seen as a city upon a hill.

[Michael McIntyre]

We are still held up as an example of equality and justice by the rest of the world

[Sean Meyer]

No, we arent.
Look at the third paragraph here:
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism
It obviously says that we are resented by other countries, not accepted

[Sean Meyer]

So, what do you have to say about that?

[Michael McIntyre]

"America would be a 'city on a hill' or a 'beacon to the world,' defending and promoting democracy and liberty" direct quote from new world encyclopedia .org

[Sean Meyer]

That's what we said, but what about what other countries think?

[Sean Meyer]

I think that other countries resent us for being to full of ourselves or cocky

[Sean Meyer]

okay then, why do you think American Excceptionalism is real/true?

[Michael McIntyre]

many other countries look up to us because we fight for freedom of people on the other side of the world

[Sean Meyer]

yea, for like the first decade of independence. How about now?
