The Boston Tea Party was about taxation without representation. All the

Only problem is, these people don't feel that they *do* have
representation. They feel that the government, in general, is not
representing their viewpoints. IOW, they feel they have
representatives that aren't representing *them*, while still being
taxed.

Hey, relax. It was nothing more than a catchy name for just another
demonstration from a group of activist. Both sides of the political
spectrum has them all the time. This time the liberals smeared it
with a vulgar reference that caught on. It didn't seem like you
appreciated people being rude or vulgar. Maybe I'm wrong?


Teabaggers, Birthers, Deathers, Tenthers - right-wing scumbags, all of
them, just like you. They may feel as if they "don't have
representation," but they do. They have the same right and ability to
vote as every other voter.

The country had eight years of their bull**** with Bush and decided it
was time to move on, and with a black president. *That* is what is
behind the right-wingers these days, their absolute intolerance for a
black man in the White House.

Not to worry; in 2016 the Democrats will nominate a Latino, and then,
eight years later, a woman.

By then, the white race will be a political minority. Maybe the ones who
can't tolerate that will move to South Carolina or Texas and secede.
