John Holdren, Obama's biggest radical and Science Czar, slammed the idea of American exceptionalism and explicitly said that we need to redistribute energy and material resources during the Bali Conference on global warming on July 12, 2007.The word exceptionalism caught my eye because last evening my hubby and I watched a DVD we received from his brother, of a talk given by David Barton . I had never heard of David Barton, founder of Wallbuilders, and was very impressed with his knowledge and rapid fire delivery. He crammed more into one hour than even a crazed Italian such as myself could ever hope to match.
The general theme of his talk was the concept of exceptionalism, something I had been taught growing up, but has now hit the trash can of multiculturalism, relativism, and anti-Christianity.
The overview of WallBuilders from their site says:
WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built – a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined. In accord with what was so accurately stated by George Washington, we believe that "the propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained."Take a few moments to read about their goals and visit some of the historical documents and articles they have available.

Adrienne,
From the Treaty of Tripoly (1797): "Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mus...sulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation ...it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." Signed by President John Adams, ratified unanimously by the US Senate, and implemented with no public outcry.
Oh, and by the way, Pope Leo XIII decried American Exceptionalism as heresy.
