The year of 2011 proved to be an extraordinary season for the participants, petitioners and protestors who fanned freedom’s flames in the U.S. and abroad.

My two cents: The fact that we are bumping up to an August 2nd deadline on the debt limit really does not make any sense when you think about it. It’s not like leaders in Washington did not know we were going to hit the debt ceiling. It seems to me that political posturing by both parties provide [...]
