The original Tea Party was an act of terrorism.

[uscitizen]

The participants dressed as indians and represented no legal government.

 

[Oddball]

And the powers that were reacted to the original Tea Partiers in much the same way as have the powers that be.

In that context, Democrat Party = King George and the Torries.

Strange days indeed.

They threw tea into the water. No one was killed or injured.

Calling them "terrorists" seems kinda silly.

 

[uscitizen]

Umm the crown loyalists were like todays right wingers. mostly small business owners,etc that did not want to rock the boat. They were conservative and the revoluionaries were progressives.

so mailing envelopes of harmless white powder to congress would not be terrorism?
It was a terrorist act.

Or putting a fake bomb in a school would not be terrorism?

I wonder how many of those "TERRORISTS" were 80 yr old Grandmothers wearing Red Sox jerseys.

 

[uscitizen]

Yes Madeline it is a bit silly but we would call it terrorism today if Muslims did it wouldn't we?

the dressing as indians is the key. Otherwise it would be vandalism.

Wrong....The revolutionaries were true old school liberals.

Progressives are merely Fabian socialists who need to obfuscate their true aims behind a nebulous label.

No. We wouldn't. What a fucking stupid bit of sophistry.

Anybody with a functioning brain (thus apparently excluding you, sitandspin) appreciates that "terrorism" involves acts or the THREAT at least of an act of violence. Vandalizing property or ruining a shipment of some beverage doesn't come remotely close to qualifying.

If it was done today, it might be called a "criminal act." Maybe this is where you -- being a lib -- got confused. Mere criminality is very much distinguishable from terrorism.

So who was the terrorists??? I'm confused. You just called the Tea Party terrorists....but now you're calling them revolutionaries because they were supposedly Progressives.

You can't play it both ways. You're making your head dizzy from all of the spinning you're doing.

The white powder comment was bad but this is really pulling shit out of your ass dude.

Maybe you need to question what Obama says a little bit. After all, he was in front of a bunch of Hispanics a couple of weeks ago calling us "The Enemy"..his supposed fellow Americans.

First time I've ever heard a President siding against his own people with folks who are predominantly of foreign decent. He must think that America doesn't deserve any sovereignty.

So it was conservative to break away and form a new nation?
Or was it progressive?

Progressives cannot be terroristic?


OWEBAMA! LOL he was not around then and if he was he would have been a slave.

That was an attempt to conceal their identities. Terrorists try to blend in not stick out.

Ever hear of masks? They had them back then too.

They can....especially if they bite people's fingers off.......beat the hell out of Black Journalists.....show up by the bus-loads to terrorize at home senior members of AIG...take over private corporations....threaten them with IRS audits and use the media calling them Fat-Cats.....pass legislation to cut their salaries....us groups like ACORN to try to steal elections.....work inside the government in an attempt to destroy the economy......and last but not least claim anyone who doesn't agree with them is a racist.

That's pretty terrible when you think about it.

Classical liberals, not progressives. Not even close.

Yah...but his wife does so....nah nah nah nah nah.....


He married into slavery.

He has an authentically black sounding name [or at least uses one after he ditched his slave name "Barry"]

He looks black....so of course he's descended from slaves.

How is putting a fake bomb in a school anything like throwing tea in the water in protest of tyranny?

Were children being threatened? Was anyone being threatened? Do you suppose anyone felt "scared" by the fact that the tea was dumped overboard?

Fucking idiot. You deserve a tyrannical government.
