Reflection On The Republican Party

In 1854, the Republican Party was established as a response to controversial issues within the United States of America. The founders of this political party ‒ anti-slavery Whigs, former Democrats, former members of the Free Soil Party and Know-Nothing Party ‒ helped to identify their ideals prior to the Civil War.

The Republicans have selected me, Arthur Chester, to be Garfield’s running mate. The Republican Party has favored Civil Service and I have decided to take part in this. In fact, I have considered not being nominated for a second term; in order to satisfy the American public. However, I know that a few may love me for this and others may not, but I am not just doing this for myself, but for the people.

immigrants of being drug dealers, rapists, murderers, and criminals overall. “There is a very real criminal component utilizing the dislocations caused by massive immigration to cover crimes of every variety, from drug trafficking to murder. This does not [account] for irresponsible driving habits that also take a toll of American citizens. This writer has two friends in two separate incidents that were killed by errant aliens. In both case, the aliens fled across the border to avoid vehicular manslaughter charges” (Thompson). The reality behind the Republican Party´s arguments against immigration is discrimination and racism. “They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists” (Trump). Their statements are not based on evidence or statistics, but are huge generalizations.

In the past, the Democratic party was known as the conservative, traditional party that fully supported state government while the Republican party was a supporter of the federal government control. The Republican party began as “Lincoln’s party” which caught the attention and support of the colored voters. In contrast, the Democratic party was predominantly white during this time with ideas to keep the rights of the state and the traditions of the South. Though these two parties have opposing views, they began to clash and redirect their beliefs. Over time the two main political parties have changed their platforms based on the issues of desegregation, racism in the South and placement of federal government.

The year 1964 marked the official beginning of the realignment of the black population. The Republican party previous to this year never officially made a stance on race, so it was never considered a partisanship issue, until now. The political decisions of Goldwater, Nixon, and Reagan solidified the black democratic partisanship, as well as the Southern white republican partisanship. As the years have past the black democratic partisanship has become a racially polarized and the republicans have given up on achieving a higher black vote in elections. But maybe they should reconsider giving up and try a different approach that lets them keep their southern white vote and expand on the black vote that they are getting.

As an African-American, I've seen the world through a different lens than most of my contemporaries. Different attitudes and different perceptions have created this continual Gap and where my people and others stand in our country. Since the late 1800s after President Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, African Americans have been fighting for basic rights that were promised to everybody else in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. As we remember the Reverend dr. King On this day in January, we remember the values he fought for and what it means to have can Americans across the country in this present age. What this man, Louis Stokes of the Congressional Black Caucus understood was that if we hold together we will overcome. Heard

It was a commonly held belief among the Republican party that Mitt Romney was almost a guaranteed win in the 2012 presidential election. This view wasn't necessarily because Romney followed Republican policy to a T but rather because of Obama's disastrous job with the economy in the previous four years. History was well in the minds of most Republicans in that particular matter since no president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt had ever won a presidency after the economy had gone as low as it did and was in a serious struggle to rebound. With this piece of history in the minds of most Republicans the assumptions was history would continue to repeat itself even if Romeny wasn't the Republican parties knight in shinning armor. The election

As the 2016 US Presidential Election rapidly approaches, Americans continue to stand divided by party lines, with the moderates being tugged on both sides, with hopes that swaying them will put a candidate in office. However, in this critical moment that recurs every 4 years in the nation’s history, the dichotomy is drawn even deeper between the Republican and Democratic parties, with candidates on either side suggesting radically different solutions to the nation’s problems. Paul Krugman, a famous American economist, would support Hillary Clinton for the 2016 National Democratic Primary and the 2016 Presidential Election due to the unrealistic growth expectations Republicans are promising, the healthy economic policy liberals support, and

While he wasn’t questioned as intensely or as often as others, Carson was not only an African American republican which called for positive publicity on the party’s behalf but a purely logical candidate. When first asked if he would really be electable due to his confusion of members of legislature and their positions, he responded with saying that a small confusion was irrelevant. I can relate, in a similar manner, for which at times I find myself getting people of scientific accomplishments mixed up. His manner was calm, cool, and logical and was further shown by his prioritization to a responsible, creative and innovative candidate. When candidates Kasich and Carson were asked about the preparation to go against Clinton, the latter had said he was prepared because whatever the outcome may be trust could be given to the voters of America to be smart and move forward with personal growth for the benefit of the

For the record, I don't think either party should be doing this. However, it is very hypocritical of the Democrats to say that the Republicans are obstructionists when the Democrats advocated the same thing against an outgoing Republican President. The lack of maturity on both sides is mind-boggling. Good grief people! If you advocated one position and flipped on it later, then don't lie about it. Tell what your original position was and state why you were wrong at that time or why you changed your position. It is this type of behavior that makes people not trust politicians.

The Republican Party's central leader by 1980 was Ronald Reagan, whose conservative policies called for reduced government spending and regulation, lower taxes, and a strong anti-Soviet foreign policy.

Although some of my opinions are neutral, I agree with the Republican Party most of the time. First of all, the Republican Party is against abortions. Personally, I believe that abortion is murder, regardless of whether the baby is developed into a human being. Opponents argue that rape victims must be able to abort their child, but they could give their baby to an orphanage. Others argue that giving birth can cause life-threatening complications for the mother. In this case, an abortion is merely killing an individual in order to save another individual, which is illegal. In addition to rape, Republicans are against illegal immigration. Legal immigration is one thing, but illegal immigrants benefit from living in America without paying taxes.

The Republican’s principles were not to increase slavery, support of the protective tariff, establish a daily mail service, a transcontinental railroad, and enactment of free homestead legislation. The Republican principles believe that the only rule of a government is to protect the equal natural rights of individual citizens. The rights of individuals, not groups were the reason to creating a government. The individual's’ rights are cited in the Declaration of Independence and should be taking in action was the principles of the Republican. Abraham Lincoln believed that nation could not be under controlled if the states were split into slavery states and anti-slavery. That believe was what attracted the Northerners. The Northerners at that

In the 1790s, partisan politics emerged due to the opposing views on how the new nation should be governed. The two parties that developed were the Federalists and the Democratic –Republicans. The Republicans were a group that believed in the strong states’ rights, restricted power for the federal government, and a stern clarification of the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison led the party. The Republicans ideal government favored liberty and believed that the government should be receptive to the people. The party believed that the states’ should be dominant in governing because they wanted assurance that individual liberties would be protected from government tyrants.

The election of President Obama marks the most noteworthy political accomplishment for African Americans in the United States during the post-civil rights revolution, thus bringing about a change in the country’s social and political landscape that was steeped in racial discrimination since the founding of this great nation. Because social and political conditions are subject to constant change, President Obama’s
