I’ve been looking at starting the Ambidextrous Journalists Association of America.

I think most writers type with both hands.

So applying that reasoning, every institution named after a signer of the Declaration of Independence is promoting treason.

The author is an idiot.

The American Indian was the symbol of America. Now one would envision Uncle Same as the symbol of the United States but back then it was the American Indian.

The Sons of Liberty knew exactly what they were doing and wanted the British to know it was them. Everyone in the damned city of Boston knew who did this.

He doesn’t even know it’s the TEA party. He thinks it’s the Tea Party.

Nope. It's the Tea Party. It was founded by Rick Santelli on 19 February 2009:

"We're thinking of having Chicago Tea Party in July. All you capitalists who want to show up at Lake Michigan, I'm going to start organizing ... I'm thinking of dumping in some derivative securities."

They dressed up as Indians because they wanted King George to know they were americans not euro weenies.

Do progressives really think Liz Warren successfully passes off as an Indian ? In a costume she would look hysterical, as all those former Europeans throwing the Tea overboard looked.

Hey now we had a Muslim who pretended to be Christian and said we’d have a transparent government if he got elected so I don’t see the big deal about people disguising themselves to throw tea overboard when they were told they’d have to pay taxes on it against their will just because Britain wanted to tax it simply to make more $$$ just because they said so.
