Appropriate for the "double standards" thread as well.

Are you serious? You're comparing the guys in the Boston Tea Party to left wing loons? I haven't seen any liberals demonstrating because they were being unfairly taxed, but when the Tea Party did it , they were attacked by the news media and the liberals. I have seen liberals protesting that the government wasn't giving them enough stuff. You should be ashamed. The Boston Tea Party wasn't a mob, it was a planned protest against King George's taxes lead by Samuel Adams and Paul Revere and Dr. Joseph Warren. The left wing loons want to get rid of the constitution that the founding fathers wrote. They want a socialist society and a socialist economy that has never worked anywhere.
How can you be wrong about so many things? Yes, to the Tories, the Boston Patriots were left-wing loons. Of course, the Boston Tea Party was a mob political protest that involved the destruction of an entire shipment of tea from England. The Boston leftists were not protesting the tax, they were protesting taxation without representation. See the difference? Samuel Adams and Paul Revere and Dr. Joseph Warren were all radical leftists. That's is obvious. For your information and education, I don't think there was any socialism around in 1776. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Salty, your grasp on history is just as shitty as you grasp on politics.
The Sons of Liberty were protesting the Tea Act.
The Founding Fathers were liberal, which has a completely different meaning and more than what applies to the left. Revolting over taxes was nothing new.
Adams, Revere, and Warren were not radicals.
Socialism as an idea is about 2,500 years old. It didn't start becoming an actual ideology until the French Revolution.

Trump continues to give his opponents all they could ever dream of.
Wow. Trump just can't help himself. Someone wrote him a good speech yesterday, but he revealed himself again today.
