They don't even understand the terms they are using.
What has Europe given the world? Marxism and all its derivatives to include international socialism, fascism, and national socialism. They gave the world two world wars that America had to bail them out of and America continued to foot the bill as they experimented in infantilizing their citizens with the cradle to grave welfare state. Now they are turning their country's over to radical clerics and sharia law.
So, it isn't subjective. What other country can afford to bail out the rest of the world from their own ineptitude and from the disasters that occur when Nature has a bitchy day?
It may make the citizens, or more often, subjects, of other countries feel bad, but then they have it in their power to recreate their countries to be just as exceptional.
Europe has given a lot to the world -- amazing scientists for example, now and throughout history.
The United States is the leader of the
free world. Period. Our military is the most powerful. Our Navy polices the world's shipping lanes. etc. etc. etc.
One can bitch, whine, moan and groan about paying too much taxes, and "my personal freedoms are being stripped away."... blah freakin blah, nice try but definite no.
Only in America can one piss all over the country, be a perfect bastard on a daily basis, spit in the direction of our President and on our flag, and go home at night to spew hate on the internet in total freedom. You (collective you) don't grasp the importance of that, then you haven't learned a damn thing from history.
