Were the revolutionary Americans behind the Boston Tea party "radicals"?

Then why are Americans who are coalescing in modern day tea parties considered to be "right Wing Radicals" by our govt? What can one deem our govt to be, when people cannot gather and freely propound grievances against their government, who no longer look out for the peoples best interest?

    There are no "right wing radicals" involved with the tea party in 1773 or today. We are pissed off Americans!

    By the standards of the current governments of Taxachussis and that Fouled,Putrid Septic Tank upon the Left Bank of the Potomac, they would have been hunted down without mercy;their families would have been taken into custody as accessories or "materiel witnesses" until any who escaped the drag net, surrendered and confessed !

    Hell, every signer to the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, and the first seven US Presidents would have been thrown into "Pelican Island's" super-max cell block until their hanging!
