Couple of weeks back when the Department of Homeland Security's report on potential domestic terror activities surfaced, the right wing went totally friggin' berserk when Christian fundamentalists, survivalist nutcases and the like were profiled as possible threats.

Right wing commentators nearly caused a riot racing to their microphones to be the first to complain about an ominous new threat of governmental surveillance of upstanding Us citizens. You'd a thunk Obama rather than Bush had commissioned the study.

In spite of the fact that over the past 30 years virtually all of the most egregious example of organized internal violence have come from the right (from Oklahoma City to abortion clinic bombings to assassinations of doctors) the dominant theme of the Right is that the godless forces of secularism and evolution are a threat to the American way of life, American exceptionalism, our freedoms, marriage, the family and all of the other sacred institutions so dear to the heart of the hegemonic Right.

Especially when 4 (Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito) of the six aren't just yer garden variety Catholics - - they're right wing Opus Dei nutcase Catholics of the Papal infallibility genre.

Kennedy is a little more moderate, and I'm sure Sotomayor is, too.

and walks like a duck, and fucks like a duck . . . dude, it's a duck.

But the good news is, the life span of a mallard is like 15-20 years, so if the duck is passed the age of consent, how long can the quacking marriage last???

It's "counsel" . . . not "council" . . .; unless you're talking about 10 lawyers sitting around a conference table and voting on zoning legislation.

They are unable to adapt to the times, and understand that an imposing set of [chose from: knockers, torpedoes, gonzagas, tits, boobs, headlights, jugs, lungs, love pillows, jamochas, breasts], especially those artificially enhanced by insertion of saline or silicon sacs, are for stupefying, and not for satisfying the base desires of immature nursing infants.

Read some theory, please. For example:

From the birth of what is now the world’s oldest republic, the inspirational notion of the “city upon a hill” has resided somewhere deep in the American psyche. As Tom Paine put it, “The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.” The United States, in other words, was exceptional, not driven merely by the interests and ambitions of any nation scrambling for land and treasure, but summoned to ensure that, in Lincoln’s words, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” At the heart of American exceptionalism lies a messianic streak, the belief in a country with a global calling to uplift.

Or perhaps

In recent years, the term has also been used to describe an alleged phenomenon wherein certain political interests, to include the George W. Bush Administration, along with Americans subscribing to the political theory of neoconservativism, along with certain other US individuals and interests, allegedly view the United States as somehow being "above" or being an "exception" to the law, specifically the Law of Nations.

I didn't compile the goddam list; Wikipedia did.

Plus, your understanding of the meaning of American exceptionalism is totally bonkers. The roots of American exceptionalism lie in the fallacy of the Shining City on the Hill, and that the idea we are Chosen by God and are remarkable and unlike every other empire before us.

The fact you attribute "American exceptionalism" to critics is positively absurd.
