How is American Exceptionalism any different than German Exceptionalism of the 1930s? I suppose one could argue that Nazism was more concerned with RACE rather than NATIONALISM, but it seems to me every person who screeches about American Exceptionalism is Whiter than Johnny Winter. Oh, and faith based rather than reason based.
Once a nation or race or religion self appoints itself as better than every one and every place else, they can do as they please to all the lesser people and places. This is also mostly about religion as Maher explains. We are chosen by GOD as better than everyone and everyplace else. We are chosen by Jesus Christ as better than everyone and everyplace else. And even better, Mormons have an AMERICAN Jesus who wears long underwear, is from upstate New York, is 6’3″, and lives on the planet Kolob.
At first that all may sound even sillier than Scientology. But when one digs into the theology of Bible based religions, they are no less crazy than Scientology, Mormonism, Rastafarian or shoving crystals up your ass.
