Novelist Ed Cline writes here about the original tea party and those of the present.
The patriots did not want to be subservient to the King and his minions. The Boston Tea Party of 1773 was a statement to that effect. “We’re entitled to live our own lives and will not be pawns of autocratic rulers!” was the message of the original tea party.
Americans are already far more subservient to the state and less in control of their lives than the Americans of 1773 were and rebellion against the omnipotent state is thoroughly justified and long overdue.
