Pro-or-con, I have found most takes on American Exceptionalism rather tiresome. Especially over the last few years. Our Jim shows you here, (the correct link) however, why it matters and is anything but a tiresome subject. More discussion in the post below.

And congrats to the American Political Thought journal on its first issue!
