America on Parr

When we debate gun laws and gun rights in America, we often start with the Second Amendment to the Constitution. We should start with the Second Sentence of the Declaration. Here's why.

Chapter 14 of The Second Sentence is all about taxation. There's a reason why the colonists said, "No taxation without representation" and that reason can be found in the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence.

Chapter 13 applies the logic of the Second Sentence to the issue of Immigration.

Now that we've finished our deep dive into the various clauses of the Second Sentence, we'll start to apply those ideas to political controversies in America today. We'll start with what may be the most controversial political fight in our nation right now. Find out what the Second Sentence says about Abortion here in Chapter 12.

We wrap up the different clauses of the Second Sentence focusing on creating governments that are most likely to effect our safety and Happiness.

We continue our deep dive into the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence. This part explains why anarchy is such a bad idea and why getting the foundations of a government right is so critical.

We continue our deep dive into the various clauses of the Second Sentence. This is the part of the Declaration of Independence that has a huge warning for any form of government on what happens when they abuse the Rights of the people!

This is Chapter 8 of The Second Sentence. We discuss where governments get their power and why it's so important for governments to be responsive to the will of the people in order for governments to retain their legitimacy.

As we continue our look into the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence, we move past the dash. This part of the sentence tells us why Governments exist and what their only purpose is. And, it's a self-evident Truth that most governments today have completely forgotten.

In Chapter 6 of our series on The Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence, we look at the most famous phrase in American history, "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

We continue our deep dive into the various clauses contained in the Second Sentence. Chapter 5 deals with "that they are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights..."

This is Chapter 4 of The Second Sentence. We talk about the phrase "all Men are created equal..." from the Declaration of Independence and explain why the rest of the Second Sentence depends upon this clause being true.

With Chapter 3, we begin a deep dive into the various clauses in the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence. It's important to understand the whole meaning of the Second Sentence so that we can learn to apply this logic to the political battles of today.

This is Chapter 2 in my podcast series, The Second Sentence. Before we start getting into the meat of what's in the Second Sentence, we'll discuss what is behind the first sentence of the Declaration and how it sets the stage for what's to come.

Episode 1 in a series on The Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence. The Second Sentence is the Idea of America, the American Creed. If we will run all of our political opinions through the lens of the Second Sentence, we will solve every political problem facing Americans today. In this series, I'll show you how to apply the logic and wisdom of the Second Sentence to make life better for every American.

The average American 3rd grader is currently reading on a first or second grade reading level.  That means they are now much less likely to be able to graduate from high school.  This is a huge problem for America, but the left is trying to distract you from their failures during the pandemic.

The Freedom Convoy in Canada appears to be winning. You can tell because some provinces are dropping their COVID restrictions. You can also tell by the smiling faces of the truckers themselves. Here's why the fact you can see the faces of the protesters tells you so much about the movement itself!

A new report out says the Pandemic Lockdowns only reduced COVID deaths by 0.2%. Given how much we've lost, was it worth it? And, why didn't anyone in positions of power do a cost-benefit analysis before ordering the lockdowns in the first place?

Joe Biden called Peter Doocy a stupid SOB. Does that sound like a man who's "whole soul" is in uniting this country? There's one key thing that's missing. Forgiveness.

Democrats keep saying they don't think parents should have a say in what schools are teaching their children. The latest example comes from the Democrat party in Michigan. Their reasoning is wrong in four different ways. Here's why...

Is the government really out to get conservatives? That may sound paranoid, but given three recent high profile events, it sure seems like the Department of Justice believes conservatives are enemies of the state, and all they need is a push from the government itself.

The reason people don't trust government is because our government doesn't understand it's purpose. When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable, and the first thing to do in an abusive relationship is trust.

Is Socialism an idea that's based in the Bible? Or, is Capitalism the economic system God wants us to follow? The truth is rather surprising! And, when you hear the truth, it will connect some ideas for you in a way you've never considered before.

Is President Trump leading us into war with Iran? Is he so irrational and unpredictable in his behavior that he is a threat to world peace? Or is he just rejecting the policies of appeasement in favor of the simple and strategic Trump Doctrine?

There are big parts of this country where the GOP has no hold, no elected officials, and almost no voters. And, that is starting to spread to the suburbs. If the Republicans want to defend their position in suburbia and reclaim some land in the inner cities, then they may need to follow some advice from the Harry Potter Movies.

Where did the names for the two major political parties come from? Words have meaning, and there is deep meaning behind the names of the Democrats and the Republicans. What's more, the meaning behind those names actually show you some of the policies those parties support and oppose. Once you come to understand the meaning behind those names, you won't ever see the parties the same way again!

Bill Mahar recently went on a rant against Red State America. Not only was he elitist and condescending, but he was factually wrong. His stereotypes of the conservative sections of the nation betray his disdain for at least half of America. Here's why...

Bernie Sanders says he is running for President to finish the Revolution he started in 2016. A quick look back through history shows that whenever a socialist calls for a revolution, things don't end well. Here's why....

A new survey on the American Dream shatters the divide among parties and races and shows the American Dream is possible for all Americans - but only if we truly understand what the American Dream is in the first place.

During President Trump's State of the Union Address to Congress, Democrats refused to applaud good news for the American People. But, they were very excited by their own success. It's a clarifying moment to show you what really matters to them, and what doesn't.

For the good of the conservative movement, we have to stop calling people Snowflakes. It's hurting us. It's hurting our country. Here's why.

The reaction to Donald Trump's Inaugural Address was largely negative from the Big Media pundits. It was called, "dark" and, "divisive." But, if you listen to inaugural addresses from previous Presidents you'll notice a lot of similarities. Is the darkness in what Trump said or in what the pundits heard?

We can't afford to stay inside our baskets and bubbles. It didn't work for Thomas Jefferson. It didn't work for Hillary Clinton and it won't work for the GOP in future elections. Take a listen.

The Democrats are learning the wrong lessons from the 2016 Election. That doesn't mean the Republicans have learned the right lessons, however. Here is what the current postmortem is getting wrong and what all of America should learn as we head into 2017.

There's no shame in being wrong. But, to fail to learn from your failings is shameful. Big Media is failing to learn from the errors they made this election cycle. Not only does that hurt Big Media in the eyes of the American people, but it hurts the American people by failing to be an honest and ethical check on Washington's power.

Trump's Taiwan Reality by Stephen Parr

Al Gore is now calling for the elimination of the Electoral College and instead to name our President off the popular vote. That idea is irresponsible and ignorant. Instead, Democrats should learn for the Electoral College and support policies that favor a majority of the states.

Why in the world is the Green Party's Jill Stein challenging the validity of the election in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania? It won't change the outcome of this year's election and will waste millions of dollars. So why do it? To influence future elections. Here's why.

If the actor who played Aaron Burr read that letter to Aaron Burr in front of that theatre crowd, Aaron Burr would have shot him. Fortunately, Mike Pence has more honor than Burr and is a man worthy of the office of Vice President.

Some progressives are making a big deal out of micro aggressions. It's an example of how approaching a problem with the wrong mindset can lead to wrong solutions. Instead of prevention, we need to focus more on preparation. Here's why.

The violent reactions to the election of Donald Trump is a treat to our entire republic. This is how democracy dies by mob rule. It must stop and it must stop now. Barack Obama has called for a peaceful transition. Now, the rest of the Democrat Party must follow his example or there be a peaceful transition of power in the country ever again.

Today, a lot of people are asking, "What just happened?" Why were the pundits so wrong? Who are the people who actually voted for Trump? What does this mean going forward? There are lessons to be learned from last night's election results. America needs to listen.

This is the last podcast I'll put out before Election Day. So, let me share with you my closing arguments on why Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, and Hillary Clinton are all bad choices for America's future. I'll also explain why Trump is your best choice, not simply because of the negatives of the opposition but also the positives of his agenda.

In the final week of the election, Hillary's whole strategy isn't about the FBI investigation. It's about greasing up her machine. If she's able to keep it working, she will win. But there are signs that the machine isn't cranking they way it should

Trump is making too many unforced errors in this campaign and that's why Hillary is on pace to win. All of his mistakes are essentially the same mistake over and over. He's defending himself when he should be promoting himself. He needs to follow these two pieces of advice; a man who defends himself will never be great, and don't be stupid on purpose.

FDR said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." It seems the list may be longer than than. A new survey is out on American fears. It covers everything from spiders to zombies to nuclear war. The top three items on the list - the most feared things in America - are all caused by our Government. Take a listen...

Trump's debate performance stopped the bleeding from his awful, no good, very bad weekend. He was able to put Hillary on defense by attacking her criminal behavior. But, will it be enough or is the election already over? Take a listen.

Hillary's poll numbers are rebounding a little after her awful September. But, the race is not over. There are still some things that could happen that could change the race. Plus, the polls could be wrong. I'll explain.

The way the first Presidential Debate has been promoted, analyzed, and discussed is a sad commentary on politics in America today. It's more about entertainment than enlightenment. It's more about soundbites than solutions. Once again, Big Media is part of the problem. Here's why.
