Exceptionalism

John Bolton believes in American Exceptionalism in the strong sense: there exists a quasi-supernatural force behind the USA and what it does to fulfill its mission in history.

I think it is nothing more than a sophomoric interest in paganism and idolatry, but a number of the brainy and rich types concur with him.

All I can say is that when it comes to quasi-supernatural - or even supernatural - forces to talk about, one might not wish to forget Justice and Retribution for the genocide of Native Americans.... for starts. Is there a debt there? Is there a debt for our years of slavery?
God reserves to Himself the right to pay the bill of vengeance. I think there will be an enormous tip, also.
