The Soapbox: Political Discourse

What is American exceptionalism? Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh first defines it by what it's not. It's not that we are better people or more superior. It is not that we are smarter people. It is not that God loves us more or prefers us more than anyone else. American exceptionalism has nothing to do with anything but freedom and liberty. The history of the world has been dominated by tyranny and slavery. The vast majority of human beings that have ever lived, have lived under the tyranny of despots. America was the first to break that cycle. For the first time in human history a government and nation was founded on the belief that leaders serve the population. Ronald Reagen said it best, "In this country of ours, took place the greatest revolution that has ever taken place in world’s history. The only true revolution. Every other revolution simply exchanged one set of rulers for another. But here for the first time in all the thousands of years of man’s relation ...

Gun control has once again become a hot topic of debate since the tragedy at Sandy Hook elementary in which twenty children and six adults were fatally shot. The Obama administration, never letting a good crisis go to waste, was quick to ride the wave of emotionalism to purpose sweeping firearms reform. President Obama in his speech at the Sandy Hook prayer vigil asked "Can we honestly say that we're doing enough to keep our children — all of them — safe from harm?" I'm inclined to believe that if Mr. Obama really cared about children he wouldn't support abortion in the first place. But I digress, on to gun control...
