| The *Original* Tea Party involved a protest by throwing something every Colonial citizen loved |
|
into Boston Harbor both making a personal sacrifice and one of the most famous and effective political protests in history.
*This* Tea Party buys bulk Luzianne & Lipton at Wal-Mart/Sams/Safeway, pays Sales Tax on it, and then attaches the bags to ugly hats & costumes while carrying misspelled & illogical signs at police-protected "rallies" and "events."
Just an observation.
