#1 "Some believe that America is a unique nation, a nation built upon extraordinary and good moral values, and a country which is a microcosm of what the world should be."

The author falls prey to one of the most beloved traps of collectivists. That is to debate American Exceptionalism in terms of values rather then principles. Values are simply a result of life experiences, influences and environment, therefore, are relative and open to debate. However, principles are the fundamentally accepted (not always socially accepted) rules of action and conduct. The framers of the US constitution went to great lengths to prevent these two concepts from being intentionally confused. One would expect the Ivy League constitutional lawyer and President of the United States to uphold that tradition. Don't hold your breath.
