What is American exceptionalism? The belief that America often knows better than the rest of the world what is right and wrong. If you ever a conversation about this topic with your liberal friends, this will drive them crazy.
Dennis argues that is belief comes from our Judeo-Christian values.
We believe in moral absolute truths. There is no confusion about how to handle a situation that is clearly wrong.
Those that espouse American exceptionalism hold God, truth and Christian morality as the highest good. The left holds changeable law as the highest good. Of course what this implies is that he who makes the rules wins or power to change the rules is the ultimate good.
For the secular world, law has to be the highest definition of the good. Because it does not believe in a universal and objective morality as the Judeo-Christian world does, it has no choice but to put all its moral eggs in the legal basket. For the Judeo-Christian world, law is very, very important. But God-based morality is even more important.

About waynem
As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work.
My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams.
My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
