>> amazing, exceptional accomplishments and triumphs, and also some very unspeakable failures and wrongdoing,

What a fool. It's the principles we are founded upon that are exceptional.

not really. the principles allowed exceptional accomplishments. those are the tangible results of american exceptionalism. they are the results of those people employing the principles that make the country great.

it’s good to point to examples as well when discussing the principles.

Well, if you mean by exceptional the notion that we are the only ones to have these principles, no, the French had them in 1789 and many others since.

I think it is other factors that have separated us then and continue to separate us now.
