By your reasoning every man who threw tea into Boston Harbor should have been shot. Where was your demand for blood all summer?
“By your reasoning every man who threw tea into Boston Harbor should have been shot.”
The comparison there is inappropriate due to its being where loyalists were on the side of an actual monarchy. What we patriots are rebelling against now are the ill-gotten gains of a rogue ‘domestic’ political party and their “loyalists”. The current situation can’t be boiled down enough to be compared to the original Boston Tea Party. This is not your 18th Century ancestor’s or colonial American hero’s rebellion. What we’re up against is much more sinister than mere “taxation without representation”.
