International protest groups take up ‘Tea Party’ flag in Moscow, Tel Aviv and the Hague
Daily Caller ^ | 6/14/10 | Kyle Peterson

As Tea Party protests pop up in places like Moscow, Tel Aviv and the Hague, Americans may question whether the Tea Party platform can cross international and cultural borders. For activists outside the U.S., the answer is a resounding “yes.”

“I think the message of the American Revolution is global. The message of natural, unalienable rights, the message of opposition to tyrannical government — that’s not just well-known, that’s universal,” Boris Karpa, organizer of the Israeli Tea Party, told The Daily Caller in an e-mail. “As you know well, many countries have based their founding documents on the U.S. Declaration of Independence or other American documents.”

Although several international organizers had never even heard of the Boston Tea Party until U.S. protests brought the events of 1773 back into the spotlight, they now wear the Tea Party badge proudly as an example of American exceptionalism worth emulating.

The shackles of socialism are becoming more evident to people enslaved by it; their governments taxing them to the maximum and then defaulting on the promises of a utopian existence. The mirror is cracking and some people are waking up; the problem will be are enough being shook awake? Time will tell. The trick will be organizing an effective program on an international basis. The powers that be will not leave willingly, it may get ugly and they will throw everything they have at those who yearn to be free. This is getting interesting.

You know, I posted it so quickly that I didn’t realize that each of these international groups had their OWN websites!

And then I remembered that I only took French.

Pretty strange to see the slogan in Hebrew and Cyrilic. Do they have rattlers there?

Now, if we can just get Americans to remember this, we'll be halfway home.

The socialists have their international socialist movement, and it is what has enabled them.

We could really use an international conservative movement.

Those foreign tea partiers are just joining in because they don’t like black people!
