Well John, you can seek some comfort in knowing no one has ever called YOU exceptional!

There is a reason that mention of "exceptionalism" makes JFnK "uptight." He did not come by his "exceptionalism" honorably.

John Kerry, from his book, The New Soldier:

“We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans’ Day waving small [American] flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the ‘greater glory of the United States.’...”

“The John Kerry quote comes in the epilogue to “The New Soldier,” the book put out [in 1971] by Vietnam Veterans Against the War [VVAW]. The book’s cover features a group of not-particularly sober-looking anti-war protesters (vets, presumably) flying the American flag upside down [while mocking the historic flag raising event at Iwo Jima]”:

And people of his ideology are doing their best to take America from “exceptional” to “mediocre”.

“In 1971, John F. Kerry testified on the Hill about what he said were atrocities committed in Vietnam by our Armed Forces. Turns out that every single Winter Soldier was a bold-faced liar. John Kerry was their spokesman and the leader of the Vietnam Veterans against the war. He was the premier Code Pinko of his day.

Before the war was even over John F Kerry traveled to North Vietnam to cavort with our enemies while we were still engaged in combat operations. In any other war, he would have been convicted for aiding and abetting our enemies in time of war, and taken out and shot or hung for high treason.

Instead, the people of MA saw fit to elect Ritchie Rich as one of their Senators.”

“John is so uptight he squeaks when he walks. How did we get such a moron in such a high office?”

He’s such a complete geek!

Pardon my French, but if you stuck a lump of coal up John Kerry’s ass, in two weeks you’d have a diamond.

My goodness John. Look what we "built" in 200 years. Yes, we are exceptional.

Obama has taken a wrecking ball to our foundations and is leaving us with a mess which will take years to unravel.

He and Fonda . . . should've happened years and years ago

How sad to have this horribly anti-American as some kind of spokesman for our country!
