They were getting us ready for this, "lack of being competitive in the world", by the kids getting a participation award, instead of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons for their achievement above the rest, in public schools.
We are only as exceptional, as our government will let us be.
The more government gets involved... the less exceptional we become.
We were exceptional, because we did not have government controlling every aspect of the lives of people.
That is not true today. We have become like everyone else. Government control of everything. Socialism, like everyone else, since government took over the power from the people.
If the USA has never been exceptional, then obama should have stayed home and the USA would have been better off without him ever in office.

When you start a thread like this people kind of expect a link to a quote. So this is just a thought you had?
Making up an era in American history???..... Your, as in I... me personally? I have heard of delusional, but that takes the cake.
I'm flattered you place so much weight in my hands.
Is this like calling a dog a canine and the idiot says you didn't say dog.
Lies are weightless.
So when a person makes up an entire era of history to suit himself, since it is fictitious, there's no weight in an argument based on lies.
Historians take care to present as honest an account of a historical subject as possible, using as many sources from the period as possible, accepting and reporting all sides of any issue.
If the subject disagrees with their personal beliefs, so be it. Historical truth comes from a compilation of many period sources, not just one, and it is left up to the reader as to whether it proves to be disagreeable or not, shocking or not, or expected. Or not.
That is a rigorous process for both the writer and the reader. And that's why historians have intellectual weight as to what they have written.
Anyone can spend a few hours making up anything that comes to mind, and can call it 'history', but it's not the real deal. Lies are lies, and will always be found out. And that is why lies are weightless. They have no honesty in them.
Don't hold up a handful of feathers and try to claim it's gold.
