Thank you Tara for your perseverance and cleverness, finding ways around the algorithm cop's.
And, thank God for the perseverance of the Patriots who burned tea whole readying to defend their actions with death if necessary.
Freedom, independence, justice and liberty were important matters worth dying to achieve, if necessary. Our forefathers believed and fought to achieve success for their future. Let us hope that we have what it takes for our continued freedom and liberty.
Adding interest to an already inflamed populace, the East India Tea Company was determined to sell their product, come hell or high water. As it turned out for them, hell ensued.
I had no idea this occurred, Tara! Thank you so much for ferreting out these critical notes of history to share with all of us. As one who had family on both sides of this issue, I wonder what would have kept my Loyalist family in NJ so willing to be enslaved to another nation....or even to what they considered their OWN nation (England) without having any representation? But then I remember that essentially, that is what we've come to presently. We're enslaved to the "haves" with only a facade of representation in Congress. All the while, they've really been representing big interests and themselves. It comes down to the difference of wanting to KNOW the truth and being satisfied to just keep existing in what's familiar, I suppose.
As a recent convert to tea sipping, I must say, that coffee causes so much less friction here in the colonies than does its English Breakfast contemporary...
"Backwater" towns and villages, rural areas, flyover land...where this countries heart and soul still abide. 🇺🇸
Thanks, TR!Actually, the Christmas narrative isn't about 'a middle-eastern couple seeking refuge and shelter' - which is itself a narrow political narrative designed to reduce the eternal awe and majesty of the most unique event in history to a single contemporary political talking point.
Rather it's about Jesus: the long-prophesied Savior, the Son of God and Son of Man, God incarnate, miraculously born of a virgin, a descendant of King David, the Messiah on a rescue mission to liberate all mankind from sin, death, and the devil.
He was born in Bethlehem thanks to the the government practice of bullying people to travel for an enrollment in order to pay taxes.
This same government would thirty years hence turn upon this same Jesus with a trumped-up charge of treason, and would execute him by torture with the complicity of the priests, Sanhedrin, scribes, and Pharisees after a dramatic show trial.
He died an atoning death for the sins of the world, rose again from the dead, and will come again in glory to create new heavens and a new earth. He is the Prince of Peace, whose kingdom is not of this world; He is the Word Incarnate, by whom all things were made. He offers healing and eternal life to all who are baptized and believe. He continues to share His very body and blood miraculously with us today, even as the good news about Him continues to be proclaimed in His name by His called servants.
His followers are known as 'the church' and are nothing more or less than forgiven sinners. They are people who defend life as sacred, and who care about the most marginalized of all in society: including the unborn, the elderly, the poor, and the handicapped. They are attacked and hated for nothing more than their confession of Christ and their commitment to follow Him.
Christians around the world are today being crucified and beheaded and exiled, and even in America, they are being compelled by the government to either violate their consciences or surrender their means to make a living. They are mocked and marginalized by the media.
And yet the biblical account of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus stubbornly refuses to be extinguished by the politically correct, Marxists, secularists, Islamic terrorists, worshipers of the state, and the rest of the church's virulent and violent enemies, who would either kill us all, compel us to surrender our faith, or if nothing else, sanctimoniously lecture us as to what is contained in the very scriptures that we, not they, consider to be divine revelation in matters of the faith and life that we, not they, are committed to, even unto death.
So there is a little more to the whole Christmas thing than our friends at 'Being Liberal' seem to know.
The members of the one holy catholic and apostolic church greet everyone, friend and foe alike, in the name of Jesus, and we sincerely wish you peace and joy in this season in which we honor the birth of Christ for the remarkable event that it was, and continues to be.
Enjoyed this lesser known tea burning. Amazing how so many banded together to give us an awesome nation. Now to pass the message on to others. Merry Christmas.
Wonderful words: “The jury was full of patriots, naturally.” We sure need juries (and judges) who are patriots, love America and all it stands for and will uphold the values we hold dear. This was one of the rebellions against foreign taxation, but now it’s coming from home. We definitely need to do something about the many and high taxes we pay. It’s totally overkill and it’s one of many things that is killing the American dream.
Now I wonder why Coffee is a beverage of choice in America tea? Could it be that 250+ years later we are still protesting?
❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
😁😊☕️☕️👍👍
Oh, to see that fervor raise again as we enter a round of elections!
Just go's to show it takes a total group effort of Patriots to bring Changes to our government! Thank you Tara 😊

I can't believe I have never seen this before, I'm stunned.
Thank you, Tara, for another unknown to me story of Patriots protesting for Freedom for themselves and their future generations!
Those patriots stood up for their country. Bless them!
They really just wanted Dr Pepper! Look it up! 😉

Thank you, Tara.
🇺🇲 A great story I'm just learning of today.
