GOP Patriots Basic Information, Policies And Positions

By Daniel Collins


Republican Party, also known as Grand Old Party or GOP, is among the two political parties that are major in United States. The name was derived from republicanism which is the value dominant during the American Revolution. They were founded by activists against slavery, economic modernizers and former members of the Whigs and the Free Soilers.

The current ideology is American conservatism and its platform involves the support for deregulation, fiscal conservatism, free market capitalism, free enterprise, labor union restrictions, and strong national defense. Located everywhere are volunteer organizations which includes Potomac GOP Patriots that will reach to communities out to advocate, discuss and campaign conservative principles. These are district subcommittee in their place.

They seek in promoting the traditional values hugely based upon Judeo Christian ethics as they are considered socially conservative. Illegal immigration, marijuana use, affirmative actions, abortion, gun control and same sex marriage are opposed by them. Changing Puerto Rico of their status as United States territory into a new state of the Union is also supported.

They strongly believe that the primary factors of economic prosperity are individual achievement and free markets. Elimination of government run welfare programs are advocated by them while favoring private sectors to help the poor through charity. Social assistance programs may result to state dependency and individuals should be responsible about 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 believe employment practices must be established by the corporations themselves which includes wages and benefits and the free market deciding their value. Labor unions have generally opposed them because of these laws against them. Increase in minimum wage was oppose because they think businesses are hurt by this that forces outsourcing and cutting of jobs with consumers receiving the costs.

Strict constructionism or the judicial philosophy of closely interpreting the Constitution to the intent it originally had if applicable is supported by them. They favor judicial restraint that encourages judges in limiting the exercise of their powers and upholding precedents of past judges. They believe in federalism though states should have larger roles and limitations for federal authorities as well.

Historically, their leaders support environmental regulations and policies for its protection were signed before. Their position though has since been changed then from combating climate change as their previous goal to becoming non believers of its existence. Limitations against emissions of carbon and the greenhouse gas are rejected which draws criticism from activists. Although other members which have higher positions have different beliefs regarding climate change that is unusual with them.

Ways to deal with illegal immigration among Republicans is different with migrant workers being given the path to citizenship supported by establishment types. While populists support in deporting illegal immigrants and securing the border. Theories characterized by conflicts of nations against others being faceless forces instead of being caused by ideas and actions of leaders are what they though of the international relations they have.
