AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM
TALK ABOUT OUR DEMOCRACY
Monday December 30  6:30-8:30, At the Marlboro Community Center
Coffee, tea, juice, cookies and talk.
Thanks to Windham County Republican Party chair, Rick Morton, for suggesting this topic.
Please let me know if you would be interested in participating in a discussion about it at the meeting.
According to Wikipedia there a 3 ideas behind American Exceptionalism:
-First : The history of the United States is inherently different from that of other nations.
-Second : The US has a unique mission to transform the world.
-Third:  The United States' history and mission give it a superiority over other nations.
What is your take? Is American Exceptionalism a good thing? Or, is it getting us in trouble?
You are welcome to prepare a statement to make at the meeting. Followed by a discussion. Refreshments.
Please RSVP.
