There are divine or partially divine ancestors for the royal ruling regimes of ancient Germany, the Inca Empire, and modern Rwanda, Zaire, Sudan, and most other royal families of the world. American myths of dynasty include claims the original Founding Fathers also fathered America's great political parties, claims current public policies are an incremental extension of the ideas of those Founding Fathers, and personal claims by budding politicians to connections with the leadership dynasties of the American past the Roosevelts, Byrds, and Bushes. Continuity from the past is maintained by organizations like the Daughters of the American Revolution and by the national preoccupation with genealogy. Successive generations of leaders of the Free Nation will legitimize their claim to leadership by associating themselves with the founding personalities. Those opposing the founders use immoral means in their opposition, but the founders use only moral means rooted in the highest human values of fair play, self-sacrifice, and humanitarianism to overcome that opposition.
Antiquity provides many examples.
