The point is that the Boston Tea Party didn’t HAVE to protest against judicially mandated abortions or gay rights that included brainwashing kindergarteners, because not even King George would have thought up such horrible ideas.
Not even Mad King Ludvig of Bavaria or Ivan the Terrible would have thought up such crazy ideas.
If King George had, then they certainly would have protested and refused to obey. Boston was a Christian settlement. A Puritan settlement. They didn’t protest it because it never occurred to anyone to impose such rotten ideas on them.
Believe me, the great majority of conservatives in this country, and of members of the Tea Party, are opposed to government mandated abortions and gay “rights.”
Things have gone so far in England that there was a story yesterday that judges are refusing to allow Christians to adopt children, simply because they are Christians. The children they adopted might turn out to be gay, and Christians would be unfit to bring them up. But we can be sure that such judicial decisions will not be extended to Muslims, even if there was some risk that they might cut off their gay kids’ heads.
No, the point is that the people who just elected our party to put this country’s fiscal house in order voted for that, not the entire slate of the conservative agenda. Notice than none of the candidates who won made an issue of either abortion or homosexual incursion.
Prove we can govern, prove we can manage what they elected us to do. Build it, and they will come.
You have no idea what King George would have thought up or behaviors he would have approved or not approved of. He was quite the odd duck himself.
