Opinion: A Few Brave Newspapers Endorse Romney Fighting Tide Of Liberal Press
The newspapers that are not endorsing President Barack Obama are extremely brave. They are to be positively recognized for their courage to stand up against the onslaught of the liberal media which refuses to speak in the best interest of the country as the presidential election nears.
Opinion: Selectively Presidential: Obama Chooses To Be Presidential When It’s Convenient
When the storm and its headlines have passed, however, the questions about the Benghazi tragedy should continue full force as November 6 continues to near.

Opinion: Even On 9/11 Obama And Romney Can’t Resist Political Attacks
The thought of going an entire day without political campaigning out respect of those who lost their lives on 9/11/2001 was a nice and extremely appropriate thought. However, disappointing to many, it wasn’t the respectful day totally without political bickering that was expected by many who were watching and listening.
Opinion: National Security Shouldn’t Get Lost In This Campaign
Our economy is on a slow recovery – slower than anyone wants. But the lack of serious discussion about national security and the world we live in is troubling.
With Growing Cell Phone Use, ‘Butt Dials’ To 911 Also Rising
