Not everything's bad in Philly....but there's always one moonbat shot at the tea party in the comments: Puke alert:

Osawatomie Brown • 41 minutes ago I am very happy and proud that Philadelphia is once again establishing itself as the place to go if you want to experience Colonial American history. I am proud of this city and am cannot wait until the museum is open. However, the above article is misleading in one respect. It talks about "disgruntled rumblings" over taxes in the American Revolution. That is not true. The grumbling came over being taxed by Parliament while not having Colonial representatives in Parliament to give the colonies a say in what, who, and how the taxes would work. The Colonial legislatures had been taxing its residents for over a hundred years and no American at that time had a problem with that, or questioned the taxes passed by the representatives they elected in the Colonial Legislatures. Only when the Colonies had no representation did taxes become a problem. Please remember that when Tea Party, Conservative type people tell you that the Revolution was about taxes. It was much more complex than that."

They do realize that England is an ally.

The taxes...it was all about taxes....

New York State had 94 new taxes in 2012. I don't remember being asked for my opinion.

Ping to article of interest.

It was about making our own goods, trade and keeping the money here....becoming independent and self governing. Jefferson blew that with his embargo.

Read the Declaration of Independence. It's all there.

Watch for this to be a revisionist’s wet dream.

Meanwhile, the Sons of the American Revolution open their museum in Louisville, that epicenter of the American Revolution ... oh, wait ...

Wow. And all my life, I have heard from the hard left that the American Revolution was nothing but rich people like Washington, Jefferson and Adams complaining about taxes. Now, Osawatomie Brown, informs me that it has been The Tea Party all this time saying that. < /s >
