I think back to the days of Ben and George and Thomas and the original tea party. I am guessing they are, like me, shaking their heads, in their graves. Since when do we the people beg our civil servants for mercy? We are their masters, we tell them what to do.
How many people were out there with signs and megaphones and tea bags on them protesting, crying, whining, "Please listen to us masters, please stop stealing our money, grrr... shaking our national fist at you mean old meany rulers..." Oh... My... God.
Makes me sick at heart. I see it every day, all the way down to the local level. Civil servant tyranny and theft. "Oh, no, you can't do that, it's against city ordinance 28649bbpartcesectionz3, it offends our view... unless of course you give us a cut...er... buy a permit...". Pffft!
Permission for this, permission for that, permit, permit, permit... what a racket. The mafia was never so bad. And yet, we all just go along with it daily, no, we beg for it.
Since when I ask? Since when do we have this mindset? Are we not free men by God's own words? Are we doomed to follow in the Israelite of old's footsteps, free from the pharoa, only to throw ourselves willingly back into slavery under our own Solomons? It appears we already have...
How much energy was spent protesting? What was the result of that expenditure of energy? Those crooks in Washington and their money changers just stole trillions from us. TRILLIONS.....From YOU.
The lesson of the Boston tea party was that these men took action. There was no protesting. They didn't beg the robber king. They certainly didn't beg for a king on a daily basis. Nope, they followed Jesus' example when he confronted the moneychangers. Overturned the tables(cargo) and tossed them out of the temple(harbor).
What would these men do today? My guess is they wouldn't be holding a tea party...
