David Gelernter's article in Commentary is one of the most thought provoking analyses of Americanism that I have read. I have always had an interest in American history as an American and I am quite intrigued to read that Americanism is tied to Zionism through the Puritans--with suitable moments of importance given to 1776, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, and Ronald Reagan.
Viewing current events through this lens will be an interesting exercise during these coming days.
