American exceptionalism

[Clodfobble]

That's surprising, Dana. I mean, is it that the idea doesn't bother you, or that you've never heard it as a phrase?

Over here, it doesn't just mean "exceptionalism that happens to be done by an American," is the idea that we as a country are inherently exceptional, due to the circumstances of our founding and the ideals of our society. It's a very arrogant concept, that most Americans would nonetheless agree with.
