What the hell is wrong with South Carolina lately?
No joke: South Carolina now requires ’subversives’ to register
Five-dollar registration fee for persons planning to overthrow US government
Terrorists who want to overthrow the United States government must now register with South Carolina's Secretary of State and declare their intentions -- or face a $25,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison.
The state's "Subversive Activities Registration Act," passed last year and now officially on the books, states that "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 ... shall register with the Secretary of State."
Source wants your paperen, pliss!
So... wait. Let's set aside that membership in "subversive" organizations is Constitutionally protected... don't the Tea-Baggers want to overthrow the currently constituted government of the US? I wonder if they'll have to register.
But more than that, do they really expect people to REGISTER here?
Of course, it all depends on what they decide is a subversive organization...
