“Fore” is a loudly shouted warning in golf, alerting other players and spectators to an errant shot that could do serious injury. After all, however small, a golf ball is quite hard. Traveling at speeds in excess of 70 or 80 miles an hour, it can hurt any onlooker it strikes.
American exceptionalism is the view of the uniqueness of America that has made it the greatest power in history. In both political parties, exceptionalism has achieved cult status. To disavow American exceptionalism risks political excommunication and exile and branding as a self-hating citizen. After all, who dares to say America is simply not the best or the greatest even if it is the lone superpower or in more laidback moments, merely the world’s “indispensable” power!
