Many snippets about the Tea Party at that site - will someday the story be more about Taxed Enough Already than the historic raid?

Recessional of the Sons of the American Revolution:
“Until we meet again, let us remember our obligations to our
forefathers who gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.”
Dr. Benjamin Franklin, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, replied "A Republic, if you can keep it."
“You say....the price of my love’s not a price that you’re willing to pay. You cry in your tea, which you hurl in the sea, when you see me go by...Why so sad?”

There is a reenactment at the Old South Meeting House that people can join. http://www.osmh.org/history/boston-tea-party/boston-tea-party-annual-reenactment though it is sold out for this year. When I went in 2001 iirc it was free and tickets weren’t required.

Boston Harbor, 1773: two figures huddle on the deck of a cargo ship there in the darkness…
(Loud splash)
Charlie: Whoops!
Union Steward: Geeez, Charlie, ya knocked that whole load of tea in the water there!
Charlie: Well, I miscalculated with the block and tackle, that’s all.
Union Steward: Yeah, well, I mean you blew it-you missed the whole deck there!
Charlie: Yeah, well, maybe nobody’ll notice.
Union Steward: Whaddya mean? There’s tea floating all over the place. How can I go and demand an hourly increase for you guys with fringe-—
Charlie: Yeah, yeah, well-
Union Steward: —No, no, with fringe benefits and all that if my men keep knocking stuff overboard?
Charlie: Well, well, I’m-uh-sorry.
Union Steward: Sorry doesn’t do-uh-any good, Charlie. Now I’ll cover for you this time, Charlie, but let’s get our story straight.
Charlie: Good, good, good, good…
Union Steward: Now a bunch of those patriot guys came sneaking around dressed in, uh-
Charlie: How about in Indian suits?
Union Steward: That’s good, in Indian suits. They were a little loaded, and they shoved the tea over ‘cause they were sore about the tea tax.
Charlie: Uh, okay…You think anybody’ll swallow that?
Union Steward: Well, it’s just wild enough, Charlie.
Charlie: Gee, look at it swirling around down there. I wonder where we could find a fortune teller that reads harbors?
They were actually Russians...
Ahh, my ancestors.
“But but but, they were interfering with FREE TRADE! How dare they attack the savvy businessmen who shipped in the tea! Ha-RUMGH!”

Obama the Undocumented Moslem Indonesian
QUARTERED diseased terrorists into homes
across the USA and the corrupt Congress
(paid in full by their bills which secretly give them %,
and by their payoffs from foreign governments)
took taxpayer money to do it.
WHERE WERE THE MOHAWK INDIANS?
WHERE WERE THE DAUGHTERS AND SONS OF LIBERTY?
(terrorized by McCain, Schumer and the IRS, every one).
Happy tea day America!
If they tried that today, Native American groups would call it racist and the EPA would sue them for dumping and polluting the Harbor. Of course if they did it today, I heard it would be around where the Garden is located. They filled in the harbor.
