On Tuesday presidential candidate Jeb Bush spoke about the first meeting between himself and his future foreign bride, Columba. " It was love at first sight. I spoke little Spanish and she spoke little English, but when you are in love you can overcome those barriers pretty quick. There's another language that matters the most."
John Ellis "Jeb" Bush is an American businessman and politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. He is the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and the younger brother of former President George W. Bush.
Bush met his wife while in Leon, Mexico helping to build homes. León is a city in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. They married a few years later in Austin, Texas, and now live in Coral Gables, Florida.
Is there a difference between Jeb Bush's Foreign Bride and so called Mail Order Brides? Feminists and women rights groups have argued for years that men who travel across boarders for love take advantage of women that come from lower economic regions. In 2005 the Tahirih Justice Center and Senator Cantwell pushed legislation regulating foreign brides, stating that men take unfair advantage of women in foreign counties. The law (IMBRA ) requires marriage brokers to run background checks on all men that seek a foreign bride. Bush's wife was underage at the time they met and came from one of the poorest areas of central America. Did Jeb Bush then take advantage of his future wife Columba? After all she came from poverty and Jeb Bush came from a powerful, wealthy family.
Kenneth Agee, Marketing of Director of A Foreign Affair, a company that specializes in foreign bride match-making says, "Absolutely not! In our society and most societies women are always looking to find a better way of life. It is instinctual for females to find the best possible suitor for having a family, just like it is instinctual for men to be attracted to certain physical aspects of women. How would marrying into wealth make you a victim? The notion that men have economic control of women, at best, would not last long after marriage. It is equally invalid to say women have a control over men because of their beauty. The truth is, a negative situation can happen no matter where you meet and has more to do with character than economics or location. Personally, my wife is from Russia, is very strong-willed, and would never let herself become a victim. I find this to be true of most foreign women. I'm sure Jeb Bush would agree. Contrary to the opinion of Terra Justice Center, an INS study showed there were fewer issues with cross-border marriages than domestic marriages. In fact they have a much higher success rate"
And Jeb Bush is not the only candidate with a foreign-born wife. Candidate Donald Trump is also currently married to Melania Trump, a former model from Slovenia. Donald Trump's first wife, Ivana, is from the Czech Republic.
Marrying foreign women is becoming a trend for the elite. FOX News CEO Rupert Murdoch is married to Wendi Deng Murdoch from Jinan, China, with a 38 year age difference.
Yet feminists continue to argue that men seek foreign brides only because they lack the necessary social skills to find someone in the US. This is clearly not the case, as these successful men do not lack socials skills.
Society has changed greatly over the years and love has no borders. Looking worldwide for love is becoming the norm now. Each week companies like A Foreign Affair take dozens of men to countries all over the world where they attend social events, meeting hundreds of beautiful women and models, who like themselves are serious about finding true love and marriage. These men are from many varied walks of life: doctors, CEOs, policemen, businessmen, you name it. You don't have to be a Bush or Trump to see the advantage of looking abroad for real love.
With two candidates, Jed Bush and Donald Trump, both married to foreign brides, we could see our first foreign-born First Lady in the White House.
I lack the social skills to make a relationship work with somebody [i.e. average American woman] who brings nothing to the table except mountains of debt, baggage from 1-2 dozen previous relationships, endless demands, and an attitude that I should know exactly what is wrong without her telling me what is actually on her mind... I also lack the social skills to make a relationship work with somebody who thinks Iran is going to blow up the world so we'd better blow them up first, Assad is affiliated with Al-Qaeda, there were WMDs in Iraq, Wall-Street had to be bailed out, Kim Kardashian stories are newsworthy and should be discussed, and who upon hearing the word "Plato" thinks of "Play Dough" that kids play with.
It also doesn't help American women that the average one is 5'6 tall and 168 pounds in weight... In short, the average American woman is obese... A full 25% of them take anti-depressants and other mind-bending pharmaceuticals, they are physical and mental wrecks.
I consider myself very fortunate to be with my girlfriend, and I am grateful she is not American, was not born in America, was not raised in America, and was not educated in America. She does not like the USA, she is rather quiet, reserved, humble, pleasant to be around, smart, reasonably well-read [she has read many philosophical works], she can converse about meaningful topics, she can articulate herself without teen cellphone text jargon that sort of "OMG, what do u mean" etc, she has reasonable personal and professional ambitions and she wants to get ahead on her own merits [I've seen many American women outright blatantly declare their goal is to find a rich guy and chill while the guy supports them].
When I was visiting her in her home country we actually had a minor argument because I was operating under the view that I should pay for all of the meals, dates, etc, she insisted on paying her way because she believes in supporting herself and she said she didn't want to cost me more money because I work hard for my money and had already spent money on airfare and such.
When I was down visiting with her I noticed she was washing dishes by hand and I asked her, "can we go to town and find a department store, I'll buy you a dishwasher, your time is important, you shouldn't have to wash dishes by hand." She declined and said she can wash dishes by hand and that she will eventually save up and buy a dishwasher later.
Americans, especially women [who are much more attuned to social norms and thus inclined to conform] basically come off a mass production assembly-line, similar values, similar appearance, similar attitudes, similar behaviors, etc...
So in short, I could have stayed in the USA and gotten involved with some spoiled upper middle-class bourgeois brat who styles herself a princess and whose head is filled with pop culture and neo-con warhawk propaganda, but I didn't. It is refreshing to be with somebody who asks me "what are you thinking?" and doesn't use my answer against me or try to demean me for having feelings and being willing to express them. A lot of American women, if you even tell them how you are feeling when they prompt you with a question, they use the answer against you, either questioning your manliness or condemning you for this or that or trying to tell you that you shouldn't feel that way or think that way.
Actually when it was time to come back to the USA I was seriously considering simply not coming back, calling my father, telling him what to sell, where to wire the money to, and what to package and ship to me.
(hello ROn Paul) , a tax for fat people.. and any other idiots idea.. that will make sure it will not have a chance to be taken seriously.. and that could help to see the others like genius in comparison. im not aware of Democrats candidates but my bet is
