Bush , Bush II....Clinton, Clinton II Vs Bush III...

Is the USA becoming a Monarchy?

 

[Tryharder62]

...No...

 

[Adre]

Not until we get those big furry hats and more Range Rovers.

 

[Pookie]

More like a bad movie studio than a monarchy.

 

[possum123]

Yes. We have our royal families.

 

[ryan8558]

Oligarchy yes.

Royalty no.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

The US is becoming a Feudal society.

 

[DesEsseintes]

There is a certain dignity to the concept of royalty, outdated though it is. No, I don't think the US is a monarchy.

 

[Lancecastor]

If the Bush Family elects 3 Presidents....or the Clintons elect 2...will they be more American Royal than the Kennedy Family?

 

[Miles Long]

Not enough tweed to qualify as a monarchy.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Oligarchy yes.

Royalty no.

The US is becoming a Feudal society.

Both are true statements. Out intelligentsia has a tribal mentality and a desire to take their historical place in the King's court.

If the Bush Family elects 3 Presidents....or the Clintons elect 2...will they be more American Royal than the Kennedy Family?

The same. We have several royal families that turn to politics and some royal families that control them.

When under the pretext of fraternity, the legal code imposes mutual sacrifices on the citizens, human nature is not thereby abrogated. Everyone will then direct his efforts toward contributing little to, and taking much from, the common fund of sacrifices. Now, is it the most unfortunate who gains from this struggle? Certainly not, but rather the most influential and calculating.

Clearly, the two families should intermarry.

If Hillary Clinton won the Democratic Party nomination in 2008, it would continue a trend of a Bush or a Clinton being on a national presidential ticket for the last 28 years in the United States.

Never before in the history of the nation have two families dominated the political process in such a manner.

This two-family domination has endangered the American presidency as a representative institution and has allowed personal, family issues to dominate policymaking at a crucial time in American history.

The problems with the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008 and the current struggles of the second Bush presidency should give pause to those Americans who are contemplating a second Clinton presidency or a third Bush presidency.

By examining the political careers of three Bushes (George H.W., George W. and Jeb) and two Clintons (Bill and Hillary), this book will highlight the problems and the consequences of combining the most powerful political office in the world with family legacies.

Chelsea Clinton-Bush in 2024?
