Boston Tea Party being taught as an act of terrorism

And the rewriting of our history continues.

i'm sure that's what the Crown thought at the time......

Anything and everything we do now is terrorism. Posting on this forum I'm sure get us onto a watch list.

The winning side is a patriot. The losing side-criminals. Such is the nature of revolutions. It will be no different the next time around.....

Franklin made the statement "We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." It would seem that he understood this concept well.

I believe the usual phrase is "one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist".

This is true, but I have a hard time giving equal treatment to those who fight for a cause openly and those who hide behind women and children.

Well, let us ask the British about David ben Gurion.

Hence why I will never support the 'Palestinians'.

In the case of the American patriots, they really were fighting for liberty, for themselves and all peoples.

It was a noble cause then, as it would be now if we still espoused the same values.

Yeah, that's a silly statement invented by relativists who want to excuse the horrendous things that people do to each other for a supposed cause of freedom. The distinction between freedom fighter and terrorist is manifest by what happens to freedom after they win.

If you're not a believer in Beck, you're a terrorist and a racialist and most likely some kind of sex pervert...or maybe a former drunk homeless coke addict. And you probably can't have a conversation without yelling at people.

I've seen some very, very odd stuff coming from Before It's News. They accept stories from ANYONE as long as they think it is "good". All you need is an account and 30 seconds for the "submission" process. Right on their FAQ page, it says they accept anything from almost anyone and news, analysis, commentary, or opinion are accepted. They're bound to have quite a bit of whack job BS and a bunch of crap posted by conspiracy theorists that went off meds years ago.

FEMA teaches that the Founding Fathers were the "first terrorist organization in the United States."

....and congress, the UN and POTUS will be the last I fear. Doesn't the fact that their actions instil terror in many of us make them terrorists? Panic buying mags, guns ammo, food, etc...hoarding gold and silver, "prepping" in general, the tea parties mere existence...are all proof of the terror we live in as a people.

Control through fear sounds like terror to me!
