Want to Overthrow the US Government? You’d Better Have a Permit!
Posted in US government, stranger than fiction on February 6th, 2010
In South Carolina, if you are interested in overthrowing the US Government you need to register first. The SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES REGISTRATION ACT is now a law in the State of South Carolina. The law says:
Every member of a subversive organization, or an organization subject to foreign control, every foreign agent and every person who advocates, teaches, advises or practices the duty, necessity or propriety of controlling, conducting, seizing or overthrowing the government of the United States, of this State or of any political subdivision thereof by force or violence or other unlawful means, who resides, transacts any business or attempts to influence political action in this State, shall register with the Secretary of State on the forms and at the times prescribed by him.
and
Any organization or person who violates any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars or imprisonment for not more than ten years, or by both fine and imprisonment.
Soon you might see the sign at the border reading, “All prospective terrorists must possess a permit”
