The Pilgrim's who came over here for their religious freedom.
And then promptly banished anyone who disagreed with their religion from the province of Massachusetts. Oh and if their religion led them to believe you were a witch they would string you up. So much for religious freedom.

The founding fathers were revolutionaries who engaged in armed conflict to depose the colonial government. Are you finally admitting that the tea party is looking for an armed conflict to depose the government?
Not our government, just depose the one in power now. Armed??? Only if you consider information of what they are doing as being armed.
I'm 63. Yes, I forgot some of my history and I am not a scholar of it. So sue me. LOL
I'm not much younger than you, but the words did sound familiar to me. Before blaming "MSNBC. Misinformation all the time or info of the radical type.", you might have done a quick google search.

I'm just saying, people who have never heard of a part of our American history are vulnerable to being played by these Tea Party nuts. Obviously, you thought MSNBC had something to do with the Sons of Liberty.
They were in favor of throwing the tea in the harbor so I say they were teabaggers. Never heard of Sons of Liberty. Must have been on MSNBC. Misinformation all the time or info of the radical type.
Why was the tea thown in the harbor? Please do tell.

Britian was regulating the people and taxing them out of a decent profit. The series goes into it in depth though and tells how events came about. Interesting series. Important for kids to watch.
