Today marks the centenary of the birth of George Herbert Walker Bush, 41st president of the United States. With one exception — his eldest son in 2004 — he is the last Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote.
He was a remarkable man in many ways, having been decorated as a U.S. Navy pilot during World War II, and his resume before the presidency was broad. After becoming a successful oil executive, he was a two-term congressman, unsuccessful candidate for the Senate, ambassador to the United Nations and to China, chairman of the Republican National Committee and director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Bush seems now a figure of a truly bygone age. He was a relatively low-key vice president to Ronald Reagan by choice rather than imposition, learning from his Democratic predecessor Walter Mondale that being effective as VP in Washington owed a lot to avoiding conflict with White House staff and cabinet secretaries. He was also aware that the previous Republican vice president, Nelson Rockefeller, had become mired in disputes with other members of the administration by trying to insert himself into the decision-making process.

The term “Anglo-Saxon” is anachronistic in the extreme. Anglo-Saxons spoke Old English and lived in England and southeastern Scotland in the Early Middle Ages. Their origin traces from Germany in the 5th Century.
Things have changed since King Alfred. WASP is useful as a term describing word origins which come from the Old English.
Now you see why the Left had declared war on men the past generation or two. Divide and conquer.
Truly— the article was written by a stoner or idiot— or both in one person. Cognitive dissonance mixed with cannabis sativa.
GWB was only born in Connecticut because his father was in graduate school at the time. GWB really has lived in Texas.
GWB is the most disappointing president of my lifetime. Not the worst. They were all Democrats, but I had high hopes for Bush2. He just gets worse as time goes on.
Turns out he's British.
Yep. But they chose to use it.
Even the British are mostly not Anglo-Saxon and have not been for a while. With the arrival of the Norman-French and prior to that of the Danes the Anglo-Saxon genes took a beating.
Trump’s presentation of the NYTimes voting tablulation by time signature (focusing on the 6 states) pointed out both statistical and numerical impossibilities. The key to the point which no-one seems to want to hear (least of all the lovers of Dominion and the Spanish Scytl firm— which internet linkages made trillions of bytes of digital data beamed over to Spain and through Italy back to the precinct levels changed in binary selection, as well as the number of voted ballots). The presentation produced the famous (and to date unrefuted) graphic which showed the stopping of counting and the resuming counting with near matched time stamps. These were monitored by Cyber Command, and certain members of that command still have the data (the CISA “coordinator” being an obama installed snake liar) to show this occurring. The basis for 141 legislator challenges to the Electoral College “votes” which were deliberately ignored. Refer you to books, articles and documentation from Acting Sec Defense Miller and Kash Patel. They do know what they are talking about— and also WHO did this.
They are the same people who staged the fake J6 “riot”— and they are embedded corruptocrats who are part of this problem, which hopefully can peaceably be dealt with and return our Republic to Constitutional balance.
And the “New World Order”.

The term, WASP, was initially coined to describe the Northeastern upper classes who dominated industry, finance, and higher education before World War II. That upper class was predominantly, though not exclusively, of English colonial descent: the DuPonts, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts, for example. Catholics, Jews, Southerners, and Westerners were outside this elite. Not that there were not wealthy and influential men who were not part of the WASP elite, e.g., the "Our Crowd" of German Jews, but they were not the leaders of finance or industry.
Great story. Polish Eastern Orthodox. Said Poles having been abused for centuries (in WWII by both German National Socialist who hated the descent of Poles from aristocratic proto-Prussian medieval origins, and by the Soviet “Russians” who were definitely NOT the Russian equivalent, that is not being White Russians as they were later called and annihilated by the Soviets). Poland caught between- and a brilliant people (mathematics, the Enigma code machine solutions, the entire officer class, 10K, murdered by Stalin, and “found out” by the Nazis for propaganda).
Doubly amusing to hear Russians called “white” in that same brush— when they are frankly Asians. Near East but Asians nonetheless. White Russians as said- wiped out of existence with the Romanovs.
Whether Obama’s real father was Barack Obama, Sr., or Frank Marshall Davis has nothing to do with his maternal lineage, which was largely of pre-Revolutionary British settlers to the future United States.
Not a lot of Eastern Orthodox Poles. Must have had some Russian or Ukrainian in the family.
Woodrow Wilson’s grandparents all came over after the Revolution. He was born a Southerner, and more of his ancestors were Scots or Scotch-Irish than “Anglo-Saxon.” Yet in a lot of ways he was definitely a WASP — or extremely WASP-adjacent. You didn’t get to be president of Princeton in those days if you weren’t considered to be a WASP.
The classic WASP was from the Northeast, but there was some “fluidity.” C. Douglas Dillon, Treasury Secretary to JFK and LBJ, was definitely a WASP (Groton, Harvard, investment banking, multimillionaire, French chateau, art collection), but his grandfather was a Texan (and Jewish).
Very interesting; thanks.
Yes, WASP began to morph into “upper Ivy League (Penn excluded)”, leaving the door open for “passing.”
Just as the paper mache covering over of obama which the media served up in deliberate ignorance of controlled socialist press (my name- oba-mau-mao describes his politics, and his heritage if one accepts his “daddy” as being Kenyan, supporter of Jomo Kenyatta and the Mau Mau terrorists, and his Maoist/Marxist blatant history academically and beyond). Obama's “fundamental transformation” is predicated on division, cultural hatred and bland bureaucratic Marxist/Communist dialectic, coupled with islamofascism and globalist corruption, not to mention anti-Israel, pro-Iran threat to our Republic. Tyrannical in point of fact.
No surprise, another stick up the rear noblesse oblige, clueless brit. Like a Neville Chamberlain kind of dumba@@. What the UK has become— it has allowed to become. And the anglophiles who insist on copying the degraded dissolving Brit Empire are the saddest of all in the US. Maybe the UK will wake up. Tommy Robinson seems to think so, if they can merge the country back to those who made it. Prayers for that.
The UK should be split up. England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Londonistan.
Yep. Evil isn’t supposed to win, but lately it seems to be.
