I have had the privilege to traveling to over 40 countries on almost every continent and meet beautiful people and enjoy amazing cultures. I am more committed to serving the nations of the world than probably most people, yet all of this exposure to the nations has only confirmed to me how exceptional America is. Not because its people are superior or its natural resources or its buildings, etc. But it's the American Christian heritage and the biblical worldview that was so strong in the founding of the nation that produced something entirely different in the history of the world, something the French political philosopher Alexis DeTocqueville marvelled at in his book Democracy in America. Much of that worldview is now disappearing and we face many difficulties as a result, but still it is an exceptional nation. In this light, I enjoy the words of Marco Rubio in this ad that he produced for his Senate campaign in Florida.
