Happy New Year!

2012, you couldn't come soon enough.

This is the year, after four years of rule by redistributionists, after having the government takeover health care and a similar attempt with the energy industry, after green cronyism, after an onslaught of humanitarian ventures in non-threatening foreign nations, after four of having more and more of our economy being swallowed by government largesse, that we elect a new president.

Townhall readers and writers alike have been chomping at the bit for 2012. And now that it has finally arrived, it's time to clean house.

Happy New Year from the entire Townhall team!
