By Daniel Collins


Republican Party is commonly known as GOP which means Grand Old Party and among the only two major political parties in United States. They were named after the dominant value amid American Revolution which is republicanism. Among their founders are former members of Whigs and Free Soilers with economic modernizers and activist against slavery.

American conservatism is their current ideology with its platform that involves support for fiscal conservatism, free enterprise, strong national defense, deregulation, free market and labor union restrictions. Potomac GOP Patriots is among the volunteer organizations located everywhere which would reach out communities to discuss, campaign and advocate conservative principles. Their place have them as their district subcommittee.

They seek to promote traditional values largely based in Judeo Christian ethics because of them being socially conservative. And they oppose marijuana use, abortion, same sex marriage, illegal immigration, affirmative action and gun control. They also support changing the status of Puerto Rico from being a United States territory into becoming a new Union state.

They strongly believe free markets and individual achievement are the primary factors in economic prosperity. Eliminating welfare programs handled by government while favoring charity work in helping poor people with private sectors is advocated. Social assistance programs would result with state dependency instead of individuals being responsible of their circumstances.

They advocate the supply side economics theory that states having lower tax rates would increase economic growth. Most Republicans are against tax rates being higher for those that earn more due to their belief that those creating wealth and job are being targeted unfairly. Rather than government spending, they believe private spending is more efficient.

They also believe corporations should establish themselves employment practices of their own such as the free market will decide the value of benefits and wages. Because of laws like these which seems against them, labor unions opposed them generally. Increasing minimum wages was also opposed because businesses are hurt by forcing cutting and outsourcing jobs with their costs passing to the consumers.

They support strict constructionism or judicial philosophy of interpreting the Constitution as close as applicable to its original intent. Judicial restraint is favored which encourages limits to judges when exercising their powers and upholds precedent established by past judges. They believe federalism though federal authorities must have limitations and states would have larger roles.

Historically, environmental protection and regulations are supported by their leaders who signed for this some policies. Their position since then has been changed though from their goal to combat climate change into believing that it does not exist. Although some members with higher positions possess a different belief regarding climate change and among them, this is unusual.

Ways of dealing illegal immigration is different among the Republicans with establishment types supporting path to citizenship for migrant workers. Populists though are supporting to secure the border and deport illegal immigrants. Their thinking on international relations and defense is heavily influenced by theories characterizing nations having conflicts against others as faceless forces instead of resulting from actions and ideas of leaders.
