The Bush Monarchy
Oh so many things are crystal clear to me now. While this article isn't the final piece in the "why the hell has the U.S. become the country it is today?" puzzle, it certainly fills in a lot of the blanks.
Take some time and read this article. I guarantee it's worth your time.
The second paragraph of the article:
The Bush family considers itself among the special chosen ones if based only on its royal heritage. The family is connected by blood to every European monarch on and off the throne including every member of the British House of Windsor. That relationship is more than familial and extends to the president’s father having close business dealings with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip who themselves are connected to the notorious Carlyle Group that also employs GHW Bush as a "senior consultant" and master-rainmaker/fixer-arranger at a very high price for his services.If this doesn't light a fire under your ass to impeach this idiot, I really don't know what will.
