Fascinating how the industrialists, the entrepeneurs, the capitalists etc have become the bad guys and are now "country clubbers". Class envy used to be a hallmark of democratism, but it appears that some in the GOP have latched on to it as well.

It's not class envy. I should have been more specific; in my parlance, the "country clubbers" are the New World Order globalists, open borders, anything-so-I-can-make-a-dimers. Not every wealthy Republican, of which I am one, is a "country clubber." The "country clubbers" are why we are having an amnesty debate in the first place. They want cheap, illegal labor. I want to adhere to the Constitution. THAT used to be what the Republican party was about.

I'm assuming that small businessmen are not what the poster was referring to. When freepers refer to "country-club Republicans", they are typically talking about folks who ignore other facets of conservatism such as limited government, 2nd Amendment rights, and pro-life issues and are willing to support people who are against such issues, as long as it increases their bottom line. You must admit that that crowd is really annoying to mainstream conservatives.
