The Distinctive Trait of America

Steve McCann / American Thinker

The people of the United States, a nation struggling to regain a sense of optimism and confidence, have, over many years, been told by the elites in American society that their country is one of an ignoble nature and history. That “American Exceptionalism” is a myth which has precipitated the plunder of the planet and the exploitation of mankind throughout the world.

A nation whose alleged sins have been so egregious that the current President, whose primary campaign promise was to “transform America” (into a collectivist state), feels duty bound to go around the world on bended knee apologizing for those perceived transgressions.

The United States has become a ship without a rudder aimlessly wandering about the turbulent seas piloted by those whose only interest is themselves, their ideology and thirst for power. Yet the majority of the American people know that they have in their possession the key to a prosperous and equitable society: individual freedom and liberty concurrent with a significant constraint on the power of government.

They also know that in the annals of mankind the true account of America’s contribution to the world and its people is one of magnificent achievement, whether freeing millions from tyranny by force of arms or improving their standard of living by fostering global economic growth and new technology.
