Thanks, GUEST. That need to see "Americanism" as a religion is, possibly, even more dangerous than the desire to align America with God. I can almost forgive someone who says, "We're right because God is on our side," as being misled. But someone who says, "We're right because we're Americans and America is always right," is stuck in a solipsism and wearing blinders to boot. Just back the clock up about 65 years and substitute "Germany" for "America" and see if the picture looks familiar.
