The above is from the article. Note the word "symbolic."
They can't let the dumping begin, and they can't engage in Civil Disobedience, because they aren't going to follow through.
They're going to have a "symbolic" tea party. I 'spose with symbolic tea, symbolic cupsies, and symbolic little raised pinkies.
And Obama and his band of merry commies is going to do a symbolic rape of the taxpayers and the future generations of this once great nation.
What the heck is the fine for dumping tea (nothing but leaves) into a lake or river? Are we not willing to engage in even this little act of civil disobedience when the future of the Republic is at stake?
I guess not.
I guess we can all symbolically bend over and grab you symbolic knees.
