Many American citizens treat the current "Tea Party Movement" as a recent innovation, or a novel idea that will disappear in the future.  Others tie current thought patterns back to the Boston Tea Party that occurred in 1773.  Actually, the thought patterns and mindset of the Tea Party movement finds its origins in a rebellion that occurred more than 3,000 years ago.  Believe it or not, this movement was detailed in the Bible.

The misrepresentation of Biblical events is fucking hilarious.

No, it's true. This one time, in the Bible...

1.) Some people were mad about the government.

2.) Hilarity ensued.

3.) ?????

4.) Prophets

And they dunked a tea bag in hot water too. I was there, I saw it.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

The forty years of Solomon's reign had been prosperous, but it also came with a price.

TANSTAAFL STFU GTFO

Seriously, if it was prosperous, who the fuck cares.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

So, the Pharisees coined their own money.  They would exchange the world currencies for the temple currency, with a healthy up-charge added on.

This is standard practice for currency exchange in the 21st century. Ergo, Jesus hates international business and tourism. Suggests that these fuckers never left the US to go anywhere. Probably a reasonable assumption.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

The East India Tea Company agreed to reduce their price for tea because their competition had been eliminated by the government.  However, they also agreed to allow the government to add a surcharge (or in today's language a "fee") that would be collected by the company on behalf of the British government.  This tax more than made up for the decrease in price.  And it made the colonists angry!

Ignoring that this still made tea cheaper for the colonists. More importantly it made smugglers angry. Whoops.

The prophet Amos was looking ahead to a time that is remarkably similar to our current crisis.

The economic crisis looming over the United States of America has been foretold centuries ago.  The current problems will worsen, as the government partners with various business leaders and progressives to oppress and control our freedom.  The days that we face will perhaps be more difficult than we can understand.  But hope is not lost.

I love how they completely circumvent the moral of that story to make it about Taxes.

And, you know, that Jesus was an advocate of paying your taxes and was buddies with tax collectors.

Precisely- though I forget which disciple it was.

My favorite part is:

Many years later both the House of Israel (the ten tribes) and the House of Judah (the two tribes) were scattered by their enemies.  The House of Judah, the Jews, returned to the land God had promised to them, and occupies a portion of it to this day.  The House of Israel dispersed to the north and the west, settling in Western Europe.  Their independence, rebellion, and hatred for unfair taxation became the foundation of a new land many years later.

HEY BLIGHT! YOU LIVE IN THA MUTHAFUCKING PROMISED LAND 'N' SHIT!
