Time to keep the skeer on...

The Enlightened Masters appear to have noticed the natives are getting restless:
CAPE CORAL, Fla. - A tea party to protest government spending and taxing is canceled. Canceled by the government.

Why? They feel too many people could show-up. Lynn Rosko planned to hold a tax payer tea party at Jaycee Park in Cape Coral on April 1st. ...the City of Cape Coral felt there could be more than 500 people attending the tea party. Therefore Rosko needed to get a permit and insurance for the event.
I strongly suspect these requirements aren't levied on other protest groups. After all, it's only now that conservatives are fed up enough to be taking to the streets. And government sees that as a threat. So naturally, the Constitution is ignored once more:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The corporate media have largely chosen to ignore the growing tea party movement. It hasn't gone away, so now governments are resorting to shenanigans like this. That indicates fear, to which I say: GOOD.

A rather successful Civil War general had this to say: "the way to whip an enemy is to get 'em skeered, and then keep the skeer on 'em"

Keep the skeer on!
