Nearly two centuries after the term “American exceptionalism” was coined by the French nobleman, diplomat, and historian Alexis de Tocqueville, there is still much debate about what it means. De Tocqueville wrote the classic two-volume set, Democracy in America, after a long tour of America in the early 1800s. This work is still considered perhaps the most defining analysis of the American Republic ever written. Is this most famous description of America still accurate? Are we still exceptional?  

         It would be hard to find any study of any country that is wider in scope, deeper and more brilliant...

         Sometimes the best policy for everyone can seem to be selfish by the one implementing it. For example, if an airplane loses pressurization, idealism would have us think that every parent should think of their children first, helping them get their oxygen masks on before their own.

         We continue covering the 45 Goals Marxists declared for bringing America under their bondage with Goal #43:

MARXIST GOAL #43: Overthrow all dictatorships before native populations are ready for self-government. 

         As these 45 goals of Marxism were shaped in the 1930s, some of them seem out of date now, but they are not. They are still being implemented, and are still very successful. As we have seen, the goals applied to democratic governments where the people have learned to govern themselves is patient and methodical,...

         We continue covering the 45 Goals Marxists declared for bringing America under their bondage with Goal #38:

MARXIST GOAL #38: Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat. 

         We covered before how Darwin and Freud’s theories were embraced by Marx to confirm his premise that the state needed to overpower and control humanity, and psychiatry and psychoanalysis became primary weapons of Marxists for doing this. Psychiatry has been a...
