Our nations’s exceptionalism began from one clear factor that stands by itself and above all others.... our founding fathers proclaimed that we should be ...“one nation under God”..and with the exception of Israel’s covenant with God, no other nation in history placed themselves under the almighty hand of God.
Furthermore.... Our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution rests on ‘the foundation’ that there IS a Supreme Being and that ‘He is the source’ of our inalienable rights..... Our founding fathers would have never imagined this nation would “alter the course of its Christian direction” as we have seen it do time and again over the years....where once ‘the standard of measure’ was understood to be Judeo Christian values based on the Bible.
It is NOT that our exceptionalism has made us great....it is God’s blessings as a reward for our “exceptional efforts” at reaching for God’s goodness among us, in our governance and throughout our country that has made us Exceptional...without Him, and this nation looking to Him,..we will continue to see this nation erode and evil players as Putin and others like him take us for a ride.
Amen caww, Amen.
