You just KNEW this was coming, and I predicted it on several of the protest threads. Sometimes, you just see it before it happens.

I can't tell you how disgusted I feel. We have sold our freedoms out to the point that I fear we cannot reclaim them.

Throw some good old fashioned Iowa Democrat bullsh** in then.

[SolidWood]

Throw the Iowa State officials in the water together with the tea.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

No tea in the water?....just pee in the water!

[Darksheare]

Send them 3 by 5 cards with tar and a feather.
Tar is cheap, and feathers are plentiful.

Break the law - they can’t arrest everyone.

[RasterMaster]

DUmp the LIEberals into the river and enjoy a nice iced tea beverage afterward.

So, who gets fined every fall when the autumnal waste (leaves) discolors the water?

[mmichaels1970]

A Cedar Rapids group will do a symbolic tea dumping into the Cedar River on Saturday because state officials won’t let them use the real thing.

British: "Why didn't we think of that?"

[Sir Gawain]

Do it anyway and bring guns.

[devistate one four]

How about used tea bags?

When I was a kid, probably 4th grade, I was swimming at a buddies house and we had a container of tea mix, because we made some tea to drink, to refresh us when were swimming. Well one of us got the bright idea to dump all the tea mix in the swimming pool, and well lets just say his mom wasn’t too happy. lol

"Tea, although natural and quite tasty, is considered a pollutant that can’t go into a body of water without a permit, said Mike Wade, a senior environmental specialist... “Discoloration is considered a violation,” Wade said. What would our Founding Fathers say?

BAH-HAHAHAHA! Only in America. The Insane are running the asylum.

[Vigilanteman]

The tea violates environmental standards because it will discolor the water . . .

So do the leaves that fall every autumn. What are they going to do about them?

[ken21]

can you imagine if the officials in the boston harbor had done the same?

What a friggin joke of a protest!

Conservatives have no damn business trying to protest things like liberals! Asking permission from the government to protest the government!?!?!

And how many posts do I see around here about “Let them just try to take my guns! Civil War II!”

NONSENSE. Demoralizing how weak and confused conservatism has become.

I think this is a watershed moment (pun intended) for the New Tea Party movement. It is the very essence of this protest that it demonstrates that the people are fed up with government micromanagement of every molecule of our affairs, imposing paralyzing (and often stupid) restrictions on our liberties and levying confiscatory taxes, needless to say, without real representation.

If I was there, or if I had any influence with the people who will attend, I would definitely bring a tea bag (just one) and ask everyone else to do so also. Then, I would say we should definitely throw the teabags in the water and take the consequences. If it is a large group, a mass arrest would force media attention on the protest and the stupidity and heavy bootheel of this idiotic ban on the teabags and I think the authorities would be forced to withdraw any enforcement.

Go Tea Party!!

[cripplecreek]

I took this photo of some tea colored water up north last summer.



OH the HORROR!!!!! When will this indiscriminate dumping of tannin stop?

[txnativegop]

If tea is a pollutant, I would have been dead a long time ago.

I drink a gallon of tea everyday. :^P

Next they’ll be telling us that our chains come only in shiny stainless steel.
