  1. American exceptionalism is about our truly exceptional and good traits: a government restrained from meddling at home and abroad. We USE our exceptionalism as an EXCUSE to behave like any OTHER oppressive empire. No more war without a declaration by Congress. If a country wants our support, let them petition for statehood. If the federal government weren't so meddlesome, I think statehood under our constitution would look pretty good, and if we stuck to our constitution, states would have more autonomy to govern their own affairs, with a handful of rules everyone can agree on. Dave needs to re-imagine "American Exceptionalism." Anyway, I think Senator Lee gets it.

  2. That's not the exact quote as I remember it, but it's what comes up when I google it. Still a great quote. "To save the world, I first need the power to do so."

  3. It's easier to get elected with promises of government largesse than it is to be a true statesman. That's why Republicans are big spenders just like Democrats. If they hadn't gone "kinder and gentler" they would've been a permanent minority.
