Bush’s indifference to America’s future

Stephen T. wrote:

“One does not hear from the president any equivalent regard for American citizens who are also young. Think about it: Consider how little the Bush administration has had to say to the young generation of America vs., say, a Ronald Reagan or a JFK. Yet, his zeal for the ever-young Mexicans—his speeches addressing them in Spanish, his endless praise of their work ethic while disparaging that of Americans—seems to have no bounds.”

This is really profound. Stephen is right. I’d never even paid attention to it until he brought it up, but in hindsight it’s startling and obvious: Bush has dropped America’s youth, and thus the future of Americans, off the menu. Not being the wave of the future, their votes are not worth pursuing, their aspirations not worth considering.

I think Steve Sailer put forth the theory a while back that the Bush family thinks dynastically, and is simply absorbed in establishing its own future vis-a-vis its many intimate business and family links with Mexico. Maybe Bush views Mexican youth in a patriarchal sense.

Wouldn’t this be worth its own post/thread?
