I’m trying to finish an article for our next issue, and so don’t have time at the moment to give the responses to my article with Rich in the last issue, on American exceptionalism and contemporary politics, the attention they deserve. If you’re interested, though, Damon Linker has written a critique of the article for The New Republic. I think it mischaracterizes our argument at some points and just disagrees with it at others, but it’s worth a read. Be sure also (of course!) to read VDH’s thoughts on the subject. I expect that Rich and I will have more to say on this topic soon.
