It's been 10 years since the Tea Party's miraculous rise from nowhere to forge a new chapter in American History. 10 years is a good milepost to take stock and look back. But before we look at the history we made, it is just as important to look at the friendships that were forged in the crucible of our freedom movement. It is in those friendships that the humanity of our movement lies and it is these friendships that will [...]
Remember a time when there was no Tea Party. Remember when there was no freedom movement that sliced and diced its way to relevance and influence? A movement that shook the wall of establishment politics until its very foundations cracked and crumbled. A decade ago, I remember feeling alone.

On February 19, Rick Santelli of CNBC gave an epic rant regarding the Fed, markets, and money from the floor of [...]
It was 2009. It was the best of times for those who cheered for hope and change. For a few, it was the worst of times. For these few, it began as a time of great despair and hopelessness.
