One of my favorite volunteer activities is reading for the visually impaired. Every other week, I record a reading of The Economist magazine for Sunsounds of Arizona, an affiliate of National Public Radio.
The next issue I will record (Nov 3 – Nov 9) has just been published. In that issue, The Economist editors give their endorsement to Barack Obama rather than Mitt Romney.
From reading this magazine aloud regularly for 2-1/2 years, I know …
Arizona CD2 voters have a chance to elect a leader who has been proven in challenges so tough that (thankfully) few of us can even imagine them.
Martha McSally is running to represent her constitutents in the US House of Representatives. She is our nation’s first female fighter pilot and the first to command a fighter squadron in combat in United States history. Her war story (a real one!) in the video below was told …
Before voting for President, any Obama supporter who has not yet succumbed to willful self-deception should consider carefully the remarks of Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) in his October 31 video interview and his letter (below) to President Obama.
Senator Roberts is the most senior Marine in the congress, a former member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, and a former chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Beyond the betrayal and loss of life, Roberts describes …
Greta van Susteren interviews former Speaker Newt Gingrich on results of polling from early voters. The results are surprisingly strong for Romney, augering well for the general election.
Also discussed are the possible influence of the Benghazi debacle and Hurricane Sandy.

Active-duty US military must remain apolitical. They can vote, of course, but must otherwise remain silent regarding support for any political candidate over another.
It’s different for retired military. They are free to voice their preferences. Here is the tally of senior military officers who have voiced support for Barack Obama (6) versus support for Mitt Romney (387).
Gee, I wonder which candidate would be the better Commander in Chief (?). I wonder what Obama’s 6 endorsers see …
Here’s one young woman who has not drunk the Obama Kool-Aid, and who does think for herself. With bright young people like 13-year-old Jenny Cantrell, there’s reason for hope!
Well done, Ms Cantrell! You made my day. And I see a future leader in the making!
Here is a fine 7-minute video on Conservatism that is directed toward Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike.
Barack Obama’s blatant pursuit of Statism has given birth to a restored and renewed Conservative movement that is pushing back toward Constitutionally limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility. This movement will not go away, no matter how much the Left might like it to. And no matter who wins the elections on Nov 6, the movement will keep growing.
Kudos to TheVisualEdge …
The New York Times, America’s erstwhile “paper of record,” has sold out. Gone are its credibility, its soul, and its fundamental raison d’être. The Times has sacrificed everything in its (quite possibly futile) struggle to get Obama re-elected.
For Obama’s servile journalists, newspapers, and networks, non-coverage of the wretched Benghazi debacle and cover-up has become the prime exhibit of their dereliction of duty and abdication of responsibility.
In the video below, Pat Caddell pulls no punches in calling out the Times and …
Stand-up comedian Steven Crowder has posted his own parody of the Lena Dunham “Your First Time” video. It’s going viral, with over 68,000 hits in less than a day. Maybe it will surpass Dunham’s own (osentsibly) serious version.
The image and video in this post are among the best the Romney-Ryan campaign has produced to date.
The image of the huge flag proclaims the grandness of the Founders’ principles and the American spirit. And by the relative size of his own image, the picture conveys the humility of our candidate, Mitt Romney.
Conservatives know that those we vote for are simply temporary stewards of America’s founding principles, and those principles are far larger than any candidate.
Progressives, on the other …
