I dont know. Call me a cynic or an anti-monarchist, but something disgusts me over the fact that someone in America simply inherits publicity and support because they are the son or nephew of so-and-so.

Sheesh, didn't we break away from that crap some 227 years ago tomorrow?

No we never did break away from it. Just look at the Kennedy's.

I dont view it as monarchial for folks to be interested in the going ons in a particular popular family...happens all the time in small towns to huge cities.

Example:
Star athlete's sister in a big family becomes the focus and gossip of the town when she starts dating a guy from the rival school...

Its just how it goes...

Unfortunately, we've got about 6,000 years of recorded human history working against that; each society has had its royalty, the people that are lifted up to be socially "above" the rest of us. Look at the cult of celebrity worship here in America. Are celebrities "better" than us ordinary people? Nope, but I dare any FReeper to not get all excited when [insert your favorite conservative celebrity] walks into the room, and you're right there. Its human nature. Why do we manufacture "royalty"? I don't know, maybe some of the psychologists here can answer that.

The heck with pics of the bride to be. I think we should apply the Ann Coulter rule to threads about handsome, adorable George P. Bush IV. Photos, lots of photos! Freeper gals deserve some eye candy too. GPB4 rocks!

I think George IV could get elected to Congress or Senate right now. (he would have to wait a year and a half for the latter)

Unlike the Kennedys though, it doesn't appear that he is seeking this attention, and his aspirations seem to be higher than that of the Kennedy clan, i.e. he seems to be a decent fellow intent on pursuing a law career vs. a presumed "right" to a lifetime position in government. He doesn't appear to be a social leper like most of the Kennedys either, on a course for self destruction, usually behind the wheel of some sort of transportation device.

Of course, this could change, but until I see him abusing women, taking illegal pharmaceuticals, and paying others to take the bar exams for him, I will give him the benefit of the doubt and not put him in a (low) class with the Kennedys.

We are, always have been, and always will be an aristocratic society. We have always focused on the family, direct and extended of those we deem important.

What's the big deal?

Nepotism. But I guess that's not big deal.

You couldn't be a proponent of two wrongs make a right, so I am sure you are equally disgusted with monarchies forced on us, either GOP or Democrat (such as Kennedy as you pointed out thoughtfully).
