For Whom Should We Vote? Madison and the Wisdom, Patriotism, and Justice of the Federalist Papers.
The Federalist Papers are a collection of 85 essays written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay under the pseudonym “Publius” in 1787 and 1788. In the Federalist №10, arguably Madison’s most influential contribution to the Federalist Papers, we can see that Madison identified three essential qualities that we, as responsible citizens, should look for in the person who wants our vote: Wisdom, Patriotism, and Love of Justice. The idea of a wise, patriotic, and justice-loving leader remains a necessity today as it did during the Founding Era of the United States. In this paper, I briefly examine Madison’s idea of wisdom, patriotism, and love of justice in political decision-making or applying knowledge to determine the best course of action for the country. Madison’s philosophy offers timeless lessons on discerning and protecting the national interest in our complex, ever-evolving republic society.

Trust in Government, Media, and Academic Institutions.
There is no secret that many citizens are deeply distrustful of the government and other institutions. This lack of trust by the citizenry is not unique to any particular country or political system, but rather, it is part of a more significant phenomenon that undermines the legitimacy and effectiveness of governments and institutions. This mistrust can stem from various factors, including cronyism, a lack of accountability, and citizen expectations of the institutions. This essay will examine this trust and shed light on the hypocrisy. As established from previous essays, anointed leaders can be and are often from the media, academia, or the government. In this context, I will seek to review citizens’ expectations of these institutions.

Hypocrisy of the Anointed (2023)
Social activism is a powerful force that can damage people's lives and facilitates delusional and unwelcome social change. Additionally, anointed leaders of these movements share common traits with traditional religious leaders. These anointed leaders are often in positions of power and use their perceived moral imperative and the media to manipulate and alter the truth to protect political cronyism and a perceived appearance of morality. This book is a devastating critique of the hypocrisy of the social movements' anointed leaders and their failed social policies. In his new book, Dr. Parker takes aim at a range of the latest social issues to reveal the hypocrisy of these so-called "anointed" leaders. These powerful essays provide a challenging look at the politically correct world these anointed leaders create and their self-serving corruption.
Capitalism and Morality An Essay (2022)
In this insightful essay, Dr. Parker examines one of the pressing questions on the minds of most Americans today; is capitalism immoral? Dr. Parker draws depth for this essay from observing students dressed in high-end apparel, gripping iPhones, and listening to music on pricey headphones while using factual data to debunk the immoral myth and answer this highly complex question. Additionally, Dr. Parker reveals some of today’s economic fallacies ingrained in the minds of most Americans.
Conservative Essays for the Modern Era (2017)
Forward by LTC Allen West (Ret.)
With the ascension of relativism and the denial of absolutes and objectivity in everyday life, progressives and socialists have redefined the word "tolerance" to mean the blanket acceptance of anything no matter how unpalatable or absent of truth. Those who challenge this fraud of tolerance, who invoke factual data, display reason, or critical thinking are mocked and humiliated into silence. In his new book, "Conservative Essays for the Modern Era" Gregory Parker explores several of the latest issues (identity politics, democratic socialism, gun control, Islam) to reveal the hypocrisy and blatant disregard for basic science and facts. These five powerful essays to his son, deliver a thought-provoking look at the latest issues that make up the millennial self-serving, subjective reality.
