This is not your father's Republican Party

Several changes occurring within the Republican Party once again redirects the goals and attitudes of the Republican legislators of every level directly affecting the use of the government by the upper class to maximize use of the economy for personal use result from the influx of a middle class participants, of which the "evangelicals" are a large part, bringing the goals of the Republican Party in line with middle class needs.

Wealthy warriors control the Republicans arguments resulting in the current basic belief: each man for himself - too bad you are a loser. since the wealthy had conquered why should they be disturbed by the conquered. Certainly, the middle class warriors, the "evangelicals", remain warriors and believe in a black and white world just as the wealthy, they nevertheless also believe in a sense of community. Are the old Republican power brokers getting out of date and therefore out of power?

The possession of the Republican party seems to change as a normal way of life. What would Lincoln and T. Roosevelt have in common with the modern Republicans? What about the Rockefeller liberals? And the Bush 43 war mongering and opening the treasury to anyone with influence? What do these people have in common? They are not democrats.

So the increase of the evangelical warriors within the Republican members, something they could not do in the party of the intellectuals, is bringing about a change in whose attitudes prevails accomplished without the power of money and industrial control.

Very specifically the Constitution authors recognized without a peaceable method of change, a violent method of change will result. Good, bad, or indifferent, the founders allowed for peaceable change, whether through elections or reorganizations of the major political parties.

In what manner continual change affects other aspects of the Constitution becomes a vital issue to the intellectuals and the wealthy.

Warriors killed intellectuals on a regular basis for hundreds of years. Unfortunately for the warriors, it turns out intellectuals are necessary to win wars, thus creating a paradox. The more technological the society, the more important becomes the care and tending of the intellectual. The Constitution founders understood the need of intellectuals very clearly and they hoped the checks and balances would work. It's not very good for a society regularly or killing its leaders.

And although we have seen the Bush people want to ignore and avoid the constitution as they believe it restricts the powers they should have inherited from conquering the voting system, other Republicans disagree while others are tired of the failures of the current presidency, and are sporting populist themes and suggesting a lack of morals of the administration. Only the Republicans could change so radically; the Democrats are much more pragmatic about changing core beliefs.

The Republican power is not serving the middle class very well when politicians running for president in 2008 call themselves "populists". So the Republican shift is really to a belief the middle class likes government, not lower taxes. They want more services, not less. Obviously, the current powers have not been able to convey their message of self-reliance to even their own party.

Religious communities protect their members as a core belief, while the current federal government rejects the basic paternalistic idea. A religious based government, would, in the evangelicals understanding, be responsible for everyone just like the evangelical message is for everyone. It may be confusing for many Republicans to have members that believe in protecting other members, American citizens, from the ravages of life rather than make a contest of life.

The upper class we inherited from Europe does not like to listen and adapt: adaptation is losing. I'm amazed at the incompetence being too rich produces. When you are wealthy enough, everything is a game. This is one of the reasons we have social and economic cycles, the switch from caring to contest and back again.

I doubt the ability of the wealthy to talk to the new Republicans. The Democrats will talk to the new Republicans although most likely they will talk the old intellectual ideas and not be understood at all. I suggest these two groups watch more TV and see what the preachers are doing. Find out not only how to talk to the evangelical Republicans as a single group and as sub-groups. Good leaders must communicate with everyone, not just themselves. Otherwise, the warriors will make their own rules, resulting in the denormalization of our society with fragmentation, confrontation, and conflict. Make no mistake, although these warriors choose to win without guns, they believe in conquering and applying their morals to everyone. Our intellectual and wealthy leaders need to be better communicators to remain as leaders.

The lose of normalization is always traumatic, the reestablishment of normalization is often far more traumatic, whether it be religious normalization, class normalization, or intellectual normalization.

Before we continue, two questions need raising: 1. Could the tyranny of the masses foil the founders hope of longevity of intellectual freedom and 2. How will the wealthy and/or the intellectuals put themselves in back power?
