Not all "Differences" are good; but exceptional means we are different. Here are some examples.
Not all "Differences" are good; but exceptional means we are different. Differences have tradeoffs, and those tradeoffs are better in some ways or for some people. Here are some examples; bigger cars, homes, food, stores, cheaper goods, fewer taxes and tariffs, lower regulation, more diversity, 1A, 2A, 4A, University Pride, American Football, and so on.

Differences[edit | edit source]

  • America is big: Cars, Stores, Highways, Food,
  • America is cheaper: our free'er markets, lower taxes, and more freedoms allow the price of everything to be less than many other countries (relative to earnings)
  • Liberty: Guns, Speech, Local Government, these are INALIENABLE rights of individuals, not granted privileges by government.
  • University pride
  • American Football is not Soccer

Why don't we care that we're different? Because we're better. The reason buy bigger cars, is because they have more room and are more comfortable. Why are things cheaper? Because we had less government telling us how to do things, so people can afford more. Our Universities educate more people, as a percentage of the population. And Football is a hell of a lot more interesting game to watch than Soccer.

Most counties in the world have protest against people not like them, they look the other way when it's not their fight, or have protests in France against Jews, they attack Christains in the Islamic world, Palestinians refuse to accept Israels right to exist, and spend any aid building and launching rockets at Israel. Russia and China reserve the right to annex neighbors, to,"protect" the émigrés they forced to live there. But in America, all the groups that can't get along anywhere else in the world, seem to manage to get along here.

On a larger scale, and despite more diversity than almost anywhere else. (More or less). Instead of someone calling the cops, or thinking it is someone else's problem, or selling popcorn to a gang rape and offering the rapist a place to hide their pillage (like Switzerland), in America we say, "cut that shit out. And leave them alone." Not always, but more often than anywhere else in the world.

So despite a fraction of us that want to divide and polarize us into groups of special interests to garner votes, we more or less manage to resist that polarization, and don't all pile on those which are different. We are the only country that has had hundreds of thousands willing to die to protect the rights of people NOT like them. Lots of countries had slavery, only America had millions of whites willing to fight to end it for blacks. South Koreans, Jews, South Asians, Kurds, Kuwaiti's, Serbs/Muslims in Kosovo, Panamanians, Grenada, and even the Germans and Japanese in WWII... all owe us, not only beating their enemies and freeing them, but helping them to rebuild... instead of being the tyrannical victors they would have done to anyone else. All owe American exceptionalism a debt that can never be repaid, only paid forward: which they have not done. The only country that has tried has been the U.K. and that's because they are where we learned many of our values from, even if we took them to the next level.
