4th of July, but could americains do the boston tea party today?
The Boston Tea party was just one of many protest the Americas did during the run up to the revolution.
Today we would have to apply for a permit to do the same and it would of course be denied OR there would be "free speech" zone 500 to 1000 yards away from the tea. and have to PAY for the permit and give a security depot for clean up. Or off to jail with the scoff laws.
and God forbid they stop traffic. they have a right to protest but not STOP TRAFFIC that's to much and illegal. And they shouldn't mouth off at the British soldiers they're just doing their jobs and you get what ask for when to do that. har har.
the Bonus marchers after WW1 didn't have any permits to camp out in D.C. to demand what the gov't promised them. The Army drove those law breaking veterans out the shanty town with bayonets and gas so decent folks could run their local businesses but Those pesky veterans came back and finally got some redress to their free speech and assembly protest.
the 4th of July, in the ideal, is the peoples revolution we the people celebrate freedom and self governance, not "general welfare" or "safety".
Happy 4th everyone

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
