Prologue
The following is an updated adaptation of a prize-winning essay I wrote for Pepperdine University. In that article, I used the backdrop of the 2016 election, presidential candidates, and perceived social grievances to demonstrate how America remained an exceptional nation. Back then, I did not know all that would be revealed about our political system. Using a new context, I decided to revisit this article to answer the question “Why is America an exceptional nation?”
American Exceptionalism
What makes America different or more unique than the civilizations that have come before us? Free people have made this republic stand mightily and endure the test of time. America was founded on freedom of religion and a representative government established by the citizenry. The American spirit began with the “original” tea party, started a revolution, and eventually gave rise to a free nation. This spirit rebels against tyranny and will not tolerate injustice. True freedom has led America to become an inspiration and example to the rest of the world. Currently, America still has ongoing problems such as political corruption, internal enemies, and economic warfare. Despite this, Americans are resilient people, who have flourished during strife, and have overcome tyranny in all forms.
Political Corruption & Internal Enemies
In 2020, Americans experience widespread election fraud used by internal enemies to steal the election. These rogue actors committed numerous crimes in order to maintain power, control a trillion-dollar economy, and subvert American values. As a distraction, they fabricated social justice issues to divide us along religious, racial, economic, and political lines. The internal enemies of America use the mainstream media to propagandize citizens and cover-up election fraud. Financing the whole operation is Corporate America and radical billionaires such as George Soros, Bill Gates, and Hansjörg Wyss. Their network involves Citizens for American Progress, The Clinton Foundation, Arabella Advisors, Dominion Voting Systems, and possibly foreign actors. For America to remain an exceptional nation, political corruption must be addressed, and justice served.
Freedom, the virtue that makes America exceptional must be protected at all costs from threats at home and abroad. At home, our Constitutional rights must be strongly defended and cannot shrink in the face of an emergency. To remain exceptional, the rights of one class of citizens should not be taken away in favor of another. Recently, blue states, our current government, and Corporate America used medical tyranny to violate the rights and prosperity of citizens. The Constitution cannot be twisted or usurped for political means by rogue actors or social justice activists. Dictators will always promise utopia, only to then enslave their people with ideologies such as socialism, communism, and fascism. These ideologies are Godless, which is a direct contrast to the God-given rights Americans freely exercise.
Abroad, America must stand with its allies, but not get involved in endless warfare. The price of freedom is high, and Americans have paid the cost with more blood and treasure than any other nation. For that reason, it is always important to express honor and gratitude for the sacrifices of American service members and veterans. America can no longer waste precious resources to finance or defend rogue states such as Iran or Ukraine. By limiting the use of military intervention and protecting domestic freedoms America will remain free and exceptional.
Economic Warfare
The enemies within our country are deliberately putting economic sanctions on the American people. In 2021, after being installed in office, Joe Biden signed executive orders killing the Keystone Pipeline and destroying American energy independence. This caused gas prices to rise to record heights and made the price of household goods soar. Additionally, the federal reserve printed more money for stimulus and Covid relief packages, causing inflation to rise at historic levels. Biden’s intermediaries are also keeping goods from coming into ports and ships are not being allowed to dock without adhering to Covid mandates. This is not a mistake; this is not incompetence; this is a deliberate economic assault on the middle class. Despite this, Americans are persistent and are prevailing against this type of economic warfare. Many are networking, gardening, and stockpiling goods in preparation for a financial collapse. To remain exceptional, America must return to policies that promote prosperity and are not detrimental to workers, business owners, and families.
America Will Remain Exceptional
America is not exceptional because of a flag or monument. These are only the symbols used to demonstrate to the world that America is a nation of free people. America is an exceptional nation and cannot be destroyed by political corruption, internal enemies, or by economic warfare.
America is exceptional because of the freedom and the spirit of its people. Americans are willing to fight for their rights, stand up for truth, and serve when called upon. When fraud was witnessed in the 2020 election, it was everyday Americans that stood up and fought to make it right. When medical tyranny threatened small businesses, it was regular Americans that defended their right to prosperity. And when internal enemies, used the MSM to spread propaganda, it was ordinary Americans who became the new media. America will remain exceptional because of freedom and both the resilience and determination of its people.
