It has been obvious for some time that the Rats and the RINOs only cared about being in the ruling class and gathering more power an money for themselves.

The "Ruling Class" in this country has changed several times. Each time the change over has been unpleasant to say the least. Prior to 1860 the ruling class was the landed gentry. A middle of the road Southern landholder was considered infinitely more cultured than some New England factory owner, even if the latter had ten times the wealth of the former. The change from Landholder (Not plantation as big northern landholders were included in the ruling class) to Big Business men caused the costliest war in US history.

The robber barons ran the place for the next 60 years. Every president between grant and Hoover was put in place by the men of Wall Street. Breaking the hold of that ruling class cost us the great depression and World War II.

Since FDR the academics and lawyers have dictated our ruling class. Even men like Reagen couldn't get in unless they paid lip service by putting an academic like G.H.W. Bush on the ticket.

Each transition has been brought about when the ruling class overreached, thought itself all knowing, and then failed so badly that the majority lost faith in their rule. It is obvious that we are in one of those failure periods now. The current ruling class, now having been identified as such, will be driven from power.

Who will take over from them is not all together obvious. The industrialists were not the ones who started the Civil War. Neither the religious abolition movement, nor the landholding state's rights movement had many adherents among the industrialists. However the war destroyed the the other two groups and enriched the industrialists. They were able to take over largely by default.

Likewise the downfall of the industrialists in the 1930s did not bring their main competitor, the communists, to power immediately. The depression, war, and cold war broke the back of both groups. The lawyers and academics split from the Communists and took power by controlling the bureaucracy.

Who will take over this time? It won't be the one worlders. They have shown that they can't deliver anything but empty rhetoric. Nor will it be big business, for their time has long past. If history teaches us one thing the tea parties, while being the instrument used to bring down the elite, will not be the ones who fill the vacuum thus created. Look for a group on the right, who is respected, has an independent power base, and is active, but not leading, the charge against the academics and lawyers.
