Irish Republican Army

These two sources, in their attempts to differentiate each other and denounce the subject of their respective cartoons, produce a remarkable amount of parallels, as well as a few important differences. For similarities, the leading theme for both of the cartoons is that the opposing party’s candidate is a militarist warmonger. In Source A, this is demonstrated by portraying Democrat candidate Lewis Cass as a warlike automaton, composed of various cannons, bombs, and swords. The phrases “A WAR…

another, not including employment speculations. The vast majority of all Republicans live in more rural, bucolic areas, including Randolph County, North Carolina. The Republican Party is also classified as the Grand Old Party (GOP), or the Gallant Old Party (GOP). The winner of the 2016 Presidential election was a Republican (Donald Trump), and the majority of the current House of Representatives is also Republican. The Republicans hope to solve the current problems that America is facing today…

Reconstruction The word reconstruction has two definitions. One with a lowercase letter and one with a capital letter. The action or process of reconstructing or being reconstructed is the definition with a lowercase letter. The process by which the states that had seceded were reorganized as part of the Union after the Civil War is the definition with a capital letter. The Civil War was a very hard and devastating war. Reconstruction was very much needed by both definitions. A goal of…

One ominous morning of 2008 I woke up to a saddened atmosphere. I look around at my parents, who are hardcore republicans, and asked them what was wrong. They said that they had lost the election. My eight year old self replied that they never won because they never ran, and of course they explained that their party lost the run for presidency. For the years to come every time I would look at the news and see a little “R” next to a person name I would know that they are the “good guys”. When I…

Willard Mitt Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts, made a play for the Republican Party Ticket for both the 2008 and 2012 Presidential Election 1. While he was successful in 2012, he was not in 2008. The speech I decided to analyze, Faith in America, delivered on December 6, 2007[2], in Texas, was a time when Mitt Romney was trying to come off as a very family and faith-oriented candidate. Romney, like any other presidential hopeful, came across as many different identities in his speech,…

The Reconstruction period was a major downfall, mostly toward the African Americans. The Radical Republicans failed as well with their job to protect the African Americans or former slaves from the white persecution that was going on at the time. Also the Northern democrats felt as though they wanted to stop all of what was going on throughout the whole reconstruction, including the right to fight for blacks rights, they wanted it all the end. While the ex-confederates choose to fill no remorse…

read. In fact, it was illegal. Yet, as the world has progressed from those dark days, many people are seeing the African American society as a key demographic to reach. One such group is politicians. Many parties, from Democrats to conservative Republicans, are realizing the importance of the African American vote. Politicians are able to blend the actions of the political world into one that is more relatable to the general populace. One way politicians are able to communicate with Americans…

In my entire life I would follow the norm watch adapt and go along with what society does without question. Until one event that shocked my reason and beliefs about the world.September 11-2001 was an infamous day for most Americans but for me it changed my view and thoughts about the world. The media, the government told many explanations about the incident but pieces were misses or hidden. To explain my discovery I must explain the facts in our society and the environments around us. The NSA…

justified (E). Since the Democratic Party inhabited much of the southern lands of the United States, this perception of the Democrats similarly denounced the ideals of the south. This claim drew a political wedge among the Democratic and the developed Republican Party that Lincoln was a part of. The abolitionist perspective of the North attributed to their growing hostility towards the southerner’s ideals about slavery as shown in Lincoln’s denouncement of southern ideals. Frederick Douglass, a…

The year is 2009 and the economy has just taken a massive downturn; you as the president have two options, stimulate growth by helping the poor or by helping the rich. These two concepts are in direct opposition. Conservatives believe that the economy will recover by stimulating the rich (supply-side economics). Conversely, liberals largely believe stimulating the poor (Keynesian economics) is the best solution. Paul Krugman is an avid follower of the latter. In “Debt is Good” by Paul Krugman,…
