Could someone please remind the Teabaggers that in 1773

[johnaries]

the protestors were Liberals?

:shrug:

1. Well. more liberal than king Georgies government.

I've always thought it interesting that the original tea party was promoted by a business guy with a very big signature who refused to pay his import taxes.

2. "It's a little known fact that most tea drinkers today are liberals." - Cliff Claven

"So put that in your TeaBag and suck it. Cheers." - Normy Peterson

3. I'd call the 1773 protestors more Libertarian

The Founding Fathers certainly were.

4. What the teabaggers don't get is that this was not about high taxes.

It was about having no elected representative from England for the colonies while being taxed by England. No taxation without representation and all that.
