Rebels will reclaim country

Kudos to the “new” party in America, the Tea Party. What is happening is a massive Boston Tea Party all over again. The “colonists/rebels” are the tea party members, King George is President Obama.

We must take back our country from the liberal/socialist elements, and, restore the “Spirit Of ’76” to our America. Throw the oppressors in D.C. into the Potomac and restore the spirit of George Washinghton and the Revolutionary spirit in this, our country.
