I love the article, but, I don't think this statement is accurate.
Americans do not feel ambivalence about our singularity.
It is not now and it never was lorded over weak and oppressed people.
On the contrary, America is the first to offer assistance to people who are deprived, oppressed or threatened. I don't think the historic record is so far defaced that two world wars have been written out of the script.
This whole idea of guilt for exceptionalism is BS. I am certain there are millions and millions more people thankful for American exceptionalism than there are people who find it objectionable.
Exactly.
For all the bad press put out by the media, there were many in Iraq and Afghanistan who said “Thank God for the USA”.
It is absolutely true that there are many people in many countries who hate and envy us.
But if you put those countries in a situation where someone has to save them for some reason, the eyes all look to the West, and by the West, I don’t mean Spain or France.
“Americans do not feel ambivalence about our singularity.”
SS is right - unfortunately, there ARE many Americans (no legal immigrants, interestingly enough) born here who share BHO’s warped views - millions of them. Radical children of the 60’s, Latte/Limousine Liberals, Leftists in the Arts, all with white guilt; minorities who want to take down the Man, Progressive politicians, activists and voters, Marxists, Communists, NWO Globalists - the list goes on (and some of these overlap).
We are faced with serious threats, all led by a treasonous POTUS and his like-minded circle of power. The only reason many of the above groups are displeased with BHO is his feeble public show of “moderation”. They’re under the mistaken impression that he’s gone a little “soft” on his radicalism. They needn’t worry.
And they will still vote for him next year in droves.
We have a tough job cut out for us, and we’ll need all the solidarity we can muster next November if we’re to get a shot at ridding our beloved country of this disease in the WH.

Sorry for the double post - don’t know how that happened!
