Permanence, Change and American Exceptionalism

We in Texas have fought – successfully – to keep the concept of American Exceptionalism in our social studies curriculum. With good reason. It is at the core of who we are as a nation. Many of us even wonder why we must fight that battle.

An article on RedState.com explains why.

Aaron Gardner wrote a piece which appeared on RedState.com after reading a National Review piece written by Richard Lowry & Ramesh Ponnuru.

We are engaged in a battle of permanence versus change, in which the object of conquest is nothing less than our national character, the idea of American Exceptionalism.

(By the way, our friend Erick Erickson has again gotten the KosKids’ panties in a wad by his new gig on CNN. And here the Left thought CNN was their station!)
