I’m proud to be an American because we have done something no other great nation in the history of the world has done – we have used our great power not to enslave others, but to enable them.

I am proud because America is exceptional for many reasons: for our constitution, our melting pot culture, our classless society, and because we, from our earliest days, have been the world’s land of opportunity. But it’s more than just our unique history, or geography, or resources, or system of government. It’s more than our ethnic diversity, our melting pot culture, or the land of opportunity, or our constitution that enshrines individual liberty.

We are exceptional also because we have built into our national DNA the ability to reinvent ourselves both individually and as a society, socially as well as economically....

God is essential and indispensable. Other things participate in these traits only insofar as God wills it.

The United States of America is exceptional for one reason, and one reason only: of all the nations on Earth, in the entire known history of the human race, it formally, legally acknowledges the fundamental, irrevocable superiority of God-given human Rights ABOVE all the powers of the state.

Exceptional, yes.

Indispensable? The Hebrew Scripture demonstrates that even a city as important as Jerusalem can get mowed flat if people turn against the living God.

History demonstrates that every great nation develops the disease of proud, fat and stupid. Welcome to Sodom.

And the past couple of generations of citizens, the gangsters in government, and business that has no national loyalty, have flushed it down the drain.

Pardon me while I disdain to burn incense to Caesar.

God has a chosen nation. The United States is not that nation.

I will however, pray that this polity, its government, and its governors are rewarded justly for all that they have done, are doing, and will do.
