The photo above taken by Jenna Pope of lyrics used by about 40 The We've Got a Permit Singers in our rotunda on July 19, 2013 (while a couple hundred sang in solidarity outside) exemplifies much of what is sick, twisted and disgusting about Tea Party Cult of Con.
For starters the TPs are always spouting about freedom and oppressive government, until that is Da Gubmint is the
Double Authoritarian Scott Walker. Then their worship of authority kicks in and they willingly subjugate themselves to
their Ruler's Order to get permission (aka a permit) from the Gubmint to peaceably assemble and exert their right to freedom of speech. That is either
cognitive dissonance, the ability to hold two conflicting beliefs and fail to recognize the incongruity, or it is
hypocrisy, the willingness to hold two conflicting beliefs and fail give a crap. Both are at epidemic levels in the Cult of Con which of course rests on faith and not reasoning.
To hell with your Fitzwalkerstani permission slip, here are your "permits" boys!
