I don't deny the fact that exceptional people built this nation. That is without question. I'm proud of that. However, this idea that Americans of today are more exceptional than other people in this world is such non sense. Stupid, entitled, materialistic, and arrogant is what Americans are.

My god, just look at the Tea Party. There are foreigners who admire America, but when they look at the Tea Party, they just scoff or laugh. Tea baggers, in terms of intelligence, are much stupider than the average person the world over. They are also selfish, arrogant and racist. I mean this is the movement who bitches about government spending but also insists on ridiculous tax cuts. How can you respect people who don't understand the concept of revenue?

And yes, I do think there are some great Americans living today. I just don't think being American has anything to do with it.

In terms of citizens, America is not at all superior to the rest of the world. Let's stop pretending that it is.

I feel like the idea of America's exceptionalism is inextricable for many people, largely conservatives, from patriotism. It's not really about America being objectively the best, it's about pride in your country. It's just rooting for your team. "Seahawks are the best!" "America is an exceptional nation!" You see it less with liberals, because for many reasons we reject what we think of as jingoism.

Then again, its not just politics that influences these things. I'm from a family of Atlanta Falcons fans, so my own team-rooting has always been more...cautiously optimistic. :lol:
 
Liberalism is what has dumbed down America.

Don't kid yourself, Brotch. :slap:

Foreigners today look to America for the riches that Liberals offer. Free everything just for the taking.

Tea baggers aren't selfish arrogant or racist. just because Liberal nut cases such as yourself declare it so...

America is for people who love freedom and democracy and who are willing to work and sacrifice for said same.

Not for people who wish to languish at the Liberal's teat.

Or Obama's cock.

You do make a decent point, but I still think many tea baggers have that superiority complex about our citizens.

Accuses others of having a superiority complex while calling them derogatory names

Your thread title exhibits the word "Americans". Are you really that blindly fucked up?

Proud American patriot, aintcha?
 
Our days of being EXCEPTIONAL ended with the integration of and bussing to our public schools. They now operate at maybe 20 percent of the effectiveness of the 1950s, if that. Our public educational system is embarrassing. They never were before.

America is a nation of undereducated, overly religious. xenophobic children, and little more.The only exceptional thing is that for a nation of such utter infants it has so damn much power over others, power it is entirely unworthy of...

You know, I just realized I've never met a Tea Party supporter in real life. Or at least, not any person I knew to be one. Plenty of conservatives. So maybe they are that way, I don't know. In the meantime, of just regular conservatives I know, it's never seemed to me like it was a topic of any interest to them. Which has always led me to believe this was more a media reporting on media kind of question.

America is the greatest and most exceptional country the world has ever known. We're having some rough times right now because of people like the Kenyan and weak sisters like yourself. It'll get straight again. Count on it.
