That is all.

“Come on, Republicans. Come out from under your blankets. It’s okay to stand up for America again.”

You know they can’t — Obama has files on all of them...

[RIghtwardHo]

Please stop making sense. You will cause GOP Elite heads to explode.

[Henry Hnyellar]

Exactly. Stop arguing that America is exceptional and start being exceptional (I know, that is impossible for most of these dolts).

[Tupelo]

Tex, you forgot one little thing in your Rant. The Republicans fear Obama and the progressives much more than they fear Putin.
It is very easy to criticize something or someone you will in all likely hood never come in contact with, but the idea of criticizing someone you might see at the next party you attend scares the living crap out of them

"you should direct some of your ire towards those in THIS country who have derided the concept themselves for decades: "

I wish FreeRepublic had voting. I would vote that line of the year.

[cripplecreek]

perhaps you should direct some of your ire towards those in THIS country who have derided the concept themselves for decades: DemocRATS, College professors, Hollywood "actors", members of The Weather Underground (oh, wait, I already mentioned College professors) as well as SOME Presidents we know.

Exactly. American exceptionalism is floundering under a smothering fungal mat of taxes, regulations, federal agencies, and political correctness. Putin didn't do that to us, progressives did that to us.

Anybody care to add to my list?

NSA spying on the people - exceptionalism

Federal agencies deliberately working to smother “dangerous” political thought - exceptionalism

An ever growing bureaucratic fungal mat smothering entrepreneurship and crushing all will to strive or achieve - exceptionalism

Cradle to grave indoctrination of the communist party line in schools and ever growing social agencies - exceptionalism

Elected officials getting fabulously wealthy by legislating financial advantages for themselves - exceptionalism

Companies and unions buying influence with elected officials who legislate financial advantages for all 3 - Exceptionalism

Pedophile congressmen getting away with sleeping with underage prostitutes - exceptionalism

30 million + illegal aliens overrunning the country unchecked for someone elses political and financial gain - exceptionalism

Billions in foreign aid to nations that hate us - exceptionalism

Billions spent on pipe dream green energy scams that produce no energy and drive up costs - exceptionalism

Elected officials openly contemptuous toward the people who elected them - exceptionalism

Hitch hiking to the space station in Soyuz capsules from the 1960s because we don’t have a ride of our own - exceptionalism

[tumblindice]

`American Exemptionalism.’ That’s great.
Congress should have a new motto:
“We’re All In This Together! All Five Hundred and Thirty-Five Of Us.”
