ethical and moral character as the definition of "nobility" and having the qualities needed for wisdom in governing toward peace and justice. Obviously they and affiliated members would prefer to claim the privileged titles of lineage of nobility as bestowed by a monarch, per se the first definition; in fact, a titled name unfortunately has never automatically conveyed or bestowed that second definition, great moral or ethical character, upon any privileged (elected or appointed) member of the GOP or those supporters/voters identified as such by affiliation no less the for-profit "corporate personhood" steering the economy for their fascist benefit, likewise.

Great wealth and greed attend or inspire most if not all of them. It's my humble opinion, that no leading member of the Republican party or one whose own bias falls that way (as a judge, a CEO, a union boss) has attained that status without practicing and/or falling into easy corruption and zealotry to idol gawds, namely, money, power, control via systems enacted by twisted rule of law, policies of covert deceit. They indeed no longer care to provide for the general welfare of this republic nor passionately protect it's underpinnings in democratic principle or vote. As a result, we will be ill-prepared to face and defeat what lies ahead on this planet if we don't fight and defeat the evil within this party's failures of stewardship.
