ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 3, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Is the Republican Party planning a coup d’etat for this next election cycle? George L. Fouke questions this in his newly-released book, “Who is Killing the Republican Party? An Old Professor’s Jolly Rant” (ISBN: 978-1502512499). In a satirical account of the GOP, this politically-independent author takes the Republican Party to the woodshed with tough love hoping for its revival as part of a viable two-party system.<\/p>\n

Fouke says that it’s appalling to see what has happened. <\/p>\n

“The Republican Party has lost contact with Abraham Lincoln’s concern for everyman and it’s killing the party,” he says. “Party leaders seem intent on stopping at nothing, even a political coup, to prevent the sharing of power.”<\/p>\n

In this book, Fouke compares Lincoln’s Republican Party to today’s Tea Party through a satirical approach that is entertaining and humorous, but calls for reform. <\/p>\n

Topics include: the dark side of President Reagan’s revolution; the founding fathers’ tax citizenship versus today’s tax norquistism; corporate fear of the humanities; Caucasians camouflaged as Christians panicking over Pat Buchanan’s book about immigration as they once did over slavery; Who the Tea party is really mad at; wealth accumulation versus purposeful manipulation; Harvard’s unintentional creation of a “Hasty Profits Club” to go along with the “Hasty Pudding Club,” and more. <\/p>\n

Fouke believes that Judeo-Christian heritage properly values wealth, but requires it be used for the general welfare of everyman. <\/p>\n

“We’re at a tipping point. With their next votes, Americans will choose to have a society of wealth or a society of moral purpose,” he says. “If I can excite the ‘on-the-fence’ voter to recognize how the Republican Party’s abandonment of Lincoln’s values has reduced everyman to a primitive, job hunter-gatherer nomad and vote for the ‘accumulate-wealth-and-use-with-purpose’ side, I’ve accomplished my mission.”<\/p>\n

“Who is Killing the Republican Party? An Old Professor’s Jolly Rant,” is available in e-book format for Kindle and Nook and in paperback at: http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00NX027FU<\/a> for a pre-election price of $1.99. <\/p>\n

Fouke has prepared a list of 37 talking points and welcomes any open discussion with journalists and other interested media. A PDF file is available upon authorized request.<\/p>\n
