In Tea We Trust?

The Fourth Tea Party (posted at the Tenth Amendment Center)

Perhaps you have wondered why you have grown more concerned about what is happening with the United States. ... Could it be that you have heard God's voice, urging you to reclaim America? ...

...

Many American citizens treat the current "Tea Party Movement" as a recent innovation, or a novel idea that will disappear in the future.

...

Today, we are actually a part of the fourth tea party!
What, you ask, were the first three tea parties? You know the drill - look below the fold ...

ardy39 :: From the 27th Book of Arrogance
I apologize for not contributing much commentary for this diary, but if you follow the link and read the full "history" of the Four Tea Parties, I think you will appreciate why I have been left speechless.
Here we go:

The First Tea Party
The reign of Solomon had increased the burdens of government upon the people. They had paid higher taxes, and many had been pressed into governmental service, working on various programs (building structures, serving in the ever-larger military force, or serving in Solomon's court). Now, they were struggling.
The Second Tea Party


The Second Tea Party is a very unique event that is recorded in the gospels of Scripture
You read that right. Jesus was a tea partier!

The Third Tea Party
As the descendents of the Israelite tribes migrated to the colonies, they brought with them a sense of justice that pervaded all areas of life, including the financial realm. Those "common farmers" were well-versed in literature, especially the Holy Bible and Blackstone's Commentaries on English Common Law.

You're familiar with the "3rd TP" from your American History classes. But you may not be familiar with this interpretation. Well, most of you won't be.

The Fourth Tea Party aka "The second coming of Christ"
Today, we have yet another tea party movement among us. On February 19, 2009 Rick Santelli stood on the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange...

I believe the current Tea Party movement is ordained by God.

Who could come up with such an elaborate and arrogant scenario? Turns out, he's one of ours ...

Like belonging to a gang.

2. Sounds like they have confused civilization with
tea parties...All examples given were attempts to civilize a group of people into a working society...
