True, but only in third world countries, please tell me one modern country where the people would think Americans are "wildly exceptional"? go to any of these countries and just say one word "Trump" and see the reaction.

I said what is exceptional in America, not who.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

As I understand it, the Europeans that came over here were from Japheth.

Being the offspring of Japheth means the prophecy of Noah ...

Genesis 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

... was fulfilled via Manifest Destiny, since the Native Americans are Semites.

Verse 26 says Canaan will be servant to Shem. Verse 27 could read "Canaan shall be his (Japheth's) servant as well." There is also a blessing associated with Shem in this verse. Whether God is blessing himself, or Shem is blessing God is unclear. It seems that; Shem will be blessed, Japheth enlarged, and Canaan cursed.

My interest is in the family line of Joseph in regard to the birthright promises. This is what British Israelism is about. What is clear is that much of the wealth and power of the west is in the hands of a relatively small number of white people (descendants of Joseph perhaps?).

OK please tell me what is exceptional about the US?
Everyone knows the US is exceptional when it comes to badly educating most it's young people and putting it's people in prison and the number of deaths by guns it has, it's also extremely exceptional in the way it treats millions of it's sick people and let's tens of thousands of them die every year.

You're painting a pretty grim picture of America. Many more benefit from our systems than are harmed by it. One thing that weakens us is our desire to treat everyone 'fairly'. In other words we try to save people that shouldn't be saved. It's no different from allowing the rotten apple to remain in the barrel with the good ones, except that instead of doing that we have a separate barrel for rotten apples that we treat as if they aren't rotten.

At some point we have to relieve ourselves of our human trash so we can have the quality of life that God intended for us.

Then please feel free to paint a better picture if you can, a picture that shows the exceptionalism of America to the rest of the civilised world.

Americans have the freedom to choose success or failure. It's not the fault of the government, the Constitution, or "Sneaky Snake" that so many have chosen failure, and thus sullied our good name. Those of us that have chosen success are exceptional. It is that example that the world should be looking to.
And what about the outcry from those who want to come here for "a better life" because Trump has issued a ban on their immigration ( of course many are coming from parts of the world that many consider 'uncivilized').

Who knowingly chooses failure?

[OldWiseGuy]

Who knowingly chooses failure?

Those who willfully ignore or reject time-proven paths to success instead purposely choosing employment, activities, relationships, and behaviors that lead to failure. In America it is the individual's responsibility to succeed. It is not the duty of the state to ensure individual success.

Which proven paths are you referring to?

That's why the America of today is doomed because it's people care nothing for their country, all they care about is themselves, perhaps Trump was heaven sent to teach Americans a lesson they will never forget about how not to run a country, give it six months and you will all be wishing Obama was still in charge, by then of course the damage will have already been done.

You may want to thank the Russians, and to a lesser extent the British, before congratulating yourself about the defeat of Nazism.

Afterall, they did more, for longer, with greater casualties and more treasure spent.

We wasted our time over there, did we?

A distinct possibility.

perhaps Trump was heaven sent

No doubt about that. God sets up leaders and takes them down. I'm sure he doesn't ignore America. He sometimes gives us the leaders we need, or the leaders we deserve (too soon to judge which one Trump is).

by then of course the damage will have already been done.

The way I understand it Trump is trying to undo the damage.

Tell me.

I kind of want @joshua 1 9 to come back to this thread since this has gone horribly off-topic thanks to AV and (not)OldWiseGuy.
I'd also like him to clearly and concisely restate what his OP topic is.

 

[Mike Lane]

Now is your chance to tell us what damage Trump is here to undo, I could do with a good laugh.

So what would be the point?
