The original tea party protest was an action taken directly against the Crown for taxation without representation. Only property basically forced onto the colonies was destroyed. They didn’t burn the ship, the harbor, or the city.

You again.

Everyone knows that the rioting was caused by man-made macro-aggressive white, male, hetero-patriarchal privilege.

It's really not a mystery.

Rioters and looters are not “fighting for their rights” they are just rioting and looting. There is no point to it except to steal stuff and attack white people.

Did the rioters attack a police station? Did they try to invade city hall and lynch their “oppressors”?

Of course not.

This is typical Obama crap. "But ... but ... but HE did xyz!!!"

Moral equivalence 101: My guys are innocent because those other guys did worse!

Lefty Candid Admission 101 (circa 1968): "The issues are never the issue. The Revolution is the issue." Either you losers hand over the car keys, or we will make you sorry you didn't, where turning over the car keys is a metaphor for the surrender of political power (which was already accomplished in the Democrat Party during its 1971 "reforms" that shut out all the old Liberals, Defense Democrats, and you name it, from positions of power).

Ignore all the storefront issues. The Revolution is the issue, the taking of USG into receivership, and in this campaign (which began with Ferguson) all police departments everywhere, into the receivership of the cabal that produced Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett at the pinnacle of U.S. political power and made every other Democrat politician in the U.S. their punk.

Welcome to FR.

Please post a link to the original article.

My first thought is that conflating the Baltimore/Ferguson etc., etc. riots with the Boston Tea Party is not a valid analogy.

BTP was a single issue event protesting the Tea Act.

It is one thing for protesters to march peacefully to protest an “injustice;” it is quite another to burn a city!

Wikipedia has a pretty good article about TBTP at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party.

Well of course it’s ridiculous....I expect nothing less from the left. They are all about twisting and manipulating anything and everything to attain the “perception” they want seen and heard to the masses..... They are always masquerading behind something else.

BTW.... Welcome to FR.

Welcome to FR.

But when white people assert themselves, it's patriotic. When black people assert themselves, they're thugs. They're criminals. They're rioters.

This isn't a matter of "asserting yourself." Those jerks in the streets of Baltimordor Monday were having the time of their lives.

The writer speaketh excrement. And that is as nice as I can put it.

Nice that fighting for their rights and standing up against oppression happened to endow some of them with a new wide screen TV, new Nike shoes, or whatever else — free of charge. I remember back when it was a crime to steal. Now I guess it is just free speech?

I've not once heard a conservative wish that the colonists, who felt they were not represented fairly by the ruling government, had instead held peaceful protests in order that parliament would itself implement changes on behalf of the colonists.

This is full blown hypocrisy.

This ignorant bloviator has never once heard a conservative wish that the colonists, who felt they were not represented fairly by the ruling government, had instead held peaceful protests in order that parliament would itself implement changes on behalf of the colonists. That is because educated Americans (i.e., conservatives) know that the colonists held months of peaceful protests over taxation without representation in the Tea Acts of 1773. In every colony except Massachusetts, peaceful protests led to the return of the taxed tea to England. In Massachusetts, Governor Hutchinson refused to return the tea because his sons would have profited from the shipment.

This is full blown ignorance from a liberal. Again.

Our bill of rights says that all men were created equal

Damn - the guy didn't even make it through the second sentence. Our bill of rights says nothing of the sort. The Declaration of Independence does.

Black cops, black city council, black mayor. Whatever the rioters in Baltimore are protesting, it isn't lack of representation.

You want to declare independence? By all means, do it! Please! No more depending on the white man for your food, your shelter, your income, your enfranchisement ... GO! Found your own independent country and leave mine the F-— alone!

Once and for all, the TEA Party is NOT named for the Boston Tea Party. It is the Taxed Enough Already MOVEMENT. We are NOT a political party (not yet, anyway and certainly not part of the Uniparty).

Allowing Liberals to continue this mischaracterization is as bad as they doing it.
