Terrorists in South Carolina Must Register Before Overthrowing Government  email this discussion to a friend?

The State of South Carolina, home to Appalachian Trail hiker Governor Mark Sanford, and “You Lie” Joe Wilson wants to keep track of terrorists and subversives residing in the Palmetto state. And in a stroke of bureaucratic Orwellian genius, lawmakers have found a way to monitor terrorist activity. It’s called the “Subversive Activities Registration Act,” and requires that subversives pay a $5.00 filing fee and register with the Secretary of State, before overthrowing the government. Genius, right?

The South Carolina blog FitsNews, was right on top of this latest development in a bible-thumping state that has its share of colorful characters...

I saw a piece on this a while ago and just laughed to my self. I am glad to be living in a state where over throwing my government is an actual right.
"Right of Revolution: Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
~New Hampshire State Consitution, Article 10.

On a side note, I would LOVE to see how many have actually applied for the permit.

Be a bif fat zero I would think.


myLot reputation of 83/100. xfahctor (7623)   ranked 42 out of 3,986 in politics  2 years ago

Yeh, probably. But if I lived there, I would invent a group just so I could register...lol.....just gotta think of a good name.


myLot reputation of 83/100. lilwonders456 (3526)   ranked 34 out of 3,986 in politics  2 years ago

the state would probly freak out not know what to do...because I am pretty sure no one has ever registered for it before.

Come on....this state has enough problems without people harrassing them..even if they kinda deserve it for having such a stupid law.

bible thumping state? Well I never really looked at it that way...and I live there.
Although we have a BIG issue with politicans that suck. "colorful" would be a nice way of discribing them. Besides the two you named...we also have Graham and DeMint...both of which suck.

As for the fee...it is stupid...enless they plan on making the Republican party, democratic party, all the lobbyists,special interests and corporations that try to buy our elected officials votes have to pay the fee and sign up..all of those groups are "subversive" in my opinion...then it might actually bring in some much needed cash for the state.

for anyone who wants a good laugh here the state site on it

So . . . if you pay your $5 fee you can go on to plan your revolution unmolested, but if you don't you pay a $25,000 fine and/or 10 years in prison?

How do they know if you don't register? Is it when you attempt to overthrow the government, or when you succeed?

Ok, I have a few comments and questions. Wait a minute, I am still wiping the tears out if my eyes! rofl
Is a hunting license less than $5?
How many registrations do they get a year?
I am so glad it is still free to over throw the government in Colorado!
OMG Thank you I enjoyed that IMMENSELY!


myLot reputation of 83/100. lilwonders456 (3526)   ranked 34 out of 3,986 in politics  2 years ago

Ya ya...laugh it up....(my state is really turning into an embarrassement).

Here is a list of licnse and their cost
http://www.dnr.sc.gov/lic...

It looks like cost less to overthrow the state government than it does to get some permits. LOL

My question is...how many people actually sign and pay the fee for this. I will check it out and let you know.


myLot reputation of 83/100. xfahctor (7623)   ranked 42 out of 3,986 in politics  2 years ago

I wonder if that's 5 dollars per elected official tag or for the entire bunch....do we have to have them weighed after they are taken? Is there a daily take limit? Do they have to be a certain age? Is there a specific season? So many questions...I wanna make sure I do this right...nice and legal like.


myLot reputation of 83/100. lilwonders456 (3526)   ranked 34 out of 3,986 in politics  2 years ago

X- you are having too much fun with this.LOL
I will try to find out more information on this for you.



myLot reputation of 82/100. teamrose (886)   ranked 411 out of 3,986 in politics  2 years ago


No, it needs to pay a fee to the state of South Carolina.

I'm rather amused that the first state to secede is the one putting this up.

I think they have no idea how a government is overthrown. If that law were made a federal law, nearly every single voter would have to register! Because we ARE going to overthrow this present form of government that refuses to represent the people. Non-violently, God willing. thumbup

I find that a very funny law! lol


myLot reputation of 82/100. teamrose (886)   ranked 411 out of 3,986 in politics  2 years ago

So once you pay your registration do they send an inspector out to make sure the plans are sound? What if the group decides to use molotov cocktails instead of say zip guns? Perhaps a fine?


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15689)   ranked 28 out of 3,986 in politics  2 years ago

I think that visit would result in a lot of citations--molotov cocktails could hurt you or someone else and would be replaced by a controlled burn with the fire department as overseers--and of course you would need a permit for that. lol

Maybe Sanford's South American "soul-mate" told him this would be a good way get money to fund his love nest trips as his Official funds have been cut off for hanky panky trips.


myLot reputation of 82/100. teamrose (886)   ranked 411 out of 3,986 in politics  2 years ago

Fee is too low. Something smells wrong.

My city charges $93 for a permit to replace a hot water heater! Then the inspector doesn't do anything unless you call him and demand he appear to inspect.

Yeah, that will work! Who is going to admit to that? Why not require all criminals to register before committing their respective crimes? That will certainly put a stop to illegal activity!

Why would anyone need to register if they overthrown the government. If someone did overthrow the government they get to make the rules and toss it out.
