Liberals. Including Obama. You have to stop, and focus. The tea reference has to do with the Boston Tea Party where large quantities of tea was thrown into the Boston Harbor in the 1770’s, a symbolic event demonstrating fierce resistance of the American colonies to British rule.

Tea is a type of leaf used for brewing a hot drink, often taken with sugar and milk or with ice down south.

Now, liberals, you might be able to clear up your confusion.

Exactly. I don’t know why we allow these linguistic butchers ownership of certain words to the point where use of the original results in flagrant attempts at social persecution.

If we wouldn’t relinquish good, serviceable words to these goats and would challenge them and laugh ‘gaily’, while throwing choice word right into their pruney, arch little faces, we might serve our own good purposes, until those who wish to pervert political and social discourse tire of silly games and go home.

And, actually, it isn’t a silly game, but follows a thesis formulated, I believe, by a Berkeley professor so leftists could “own” an argument and win confidence to their causes.

The Boston Tea Party: a time when professors of political correct rhetoric would have been no match for those men and women of steel spines and freedom loving spirits.

Yet not a single crtate of tea has landed in a body of water during these protests. Just a bunch of people waving their little teabags around.
