the original tea party was aboard a ship....and the ‘indians’ were also refused permission by the brits to use their ship. I don’t see a problem.

I don’t know , I would have been surprised if they had let them. Just not the place for it.

I think they just wanted to use the park, not the ship, where the ship is located.

One of the tea party’s was denied permission to throw tea in a river, as it was a pollutant.
Oh, the irony...

On every Machine gun emplacement on the USS Alabama are three words that are appropriate to this event.
"LEAD DAMMIT LEAD"
Please remind the good folks at the board that men aboard this ship died to defend this country, and you are prepared to do the same as well.

“Although members of the Commission certainly empathize with the Tea Party and its purpose, collectively they voted unanimously to deny the request since the Commission is apolitical and represents both the Federal and State Governments,” Tunnell wrote. This "statement" makes no sense whatsoever.

Lead as in lead, follow, or get out of the way...
Or lead, as in more ammo?

Sounds more like restriction of our right to congregate! If it wasn’t a “Tea party”, I bet the gathering would’ve been approved. I wonder if we will see other parks’ use restricted.

Our monuments are not be used for political purposes.

The original function was to remind gunners how to aim at Kamikazes.
Too often sailors focused on the red dots on the sides of Japanese aircraft.

Probably lead as in aim in front of the flying target because if you aim at it it will have flown past by the time the bullets get to where it was.

Was that during his pre-inauguration parade?
If so, yes.
Our memorials are not for politics or politicians.
