The Patriot Post® · NBC Questions Our Exceptionalism

The Today Show on NBC ran a segment titled “American Exceptionalism?” Thursday, but the panel of talkingheads couldn’t think of much that we do better than Europeans. Their list included binge TV watching, fast food and pickup trucks, while they lamented how much more vacation time Austrians have than we do. Well, we won’t argue with American pickup trucks being exceptional, but there are far bigger things at play. In about 150 years time we surpassed Europe in military might and world influence, saving them, we might add, from the Nazis and then the Soviets, and we did it all because of the root of American exceptionalism – Liberty and Rule of Law.
