The worm is turning on Republicans (#1414)

Today's post is going to be directly political but of course it will, like most every post of mine, come back to our human condition. Republicans have assured themselves future irrelevant status by pursuing their current policies of class distinction and emotionless actions. Make no mistake about it, Republicans have not nor will they in the near present leave their mindset of Ayn Rand and survival of the fittest. Not just in economics but in all walks of life except when they deem it appropriate, as it affects them. While the national trend toward equality is on the move forward, the state level action on equality is lagging in many areas of our country. This is where most of the damage to forward progression of realizing equality, universally has done the most harm. What Republicans fail to recognize is that by creating an ever expanding lower and poor class of citizens they are disenfranchising a new generation of citizens who are not them. As their older more conservative base of believers die off they are not being replaced with anywhere near the number of their loss. On the contrary, they are instead creating new opposition citizens to their selfish and greedy policies. This is good for America in that those of us being wronged can see the hope of justice out into the near future but the harm being done now is real and should never be forgotten by history. The ideal that Republicans hold so dear is that we all should have to fight for what limited resources there are and that some who already have advantages and privileges should be able to retain those advantages and privileges despite the principle of fairness. It is wretched as a practice since most are left out of their pursuit of happiness by a few who think they know best.
