Since 1951, South Carolina has had a law on its books requiring anyone looking to overthrow the government to, well, register with the government.
No one had actually registered until February, when news of the law's existence spread on the internet and talk radio. Now State Sen. Larry Martin, a Republican, has introduced legislation to repeal the law, known as the "subversive activities registration act."

Hussein won’t spend $10 for his non-photoshopped BC, who thinks he’ll spend $5 to overthrow the government?

Pretty funny stuff.
The Secretary of State's Office tells Hotsheet there have been 11 registrants overall, among them an atheist group, a liberal law firm and someone claiming to represent "Democratic Party of the United States," which allegedly has the fundamental beliefs of "socialism -- Marx, Englels, Sanders."

Wait, what?
“Do you or your organization directly or indirectly advocate, advise, teach or practice the duty or necessity of controlling, seizing or overthrowing the government of the United States, the state of South Carolina or any political division thereof?”
That is...
“Do you...advocate...controlling the government...?
Uh...yes?
/duh
Even in the time this law was put on the books it was stupid!

If they drop the fee, can I get my $5 back?
Also, there was no renewal fee shown, so I guess the permit is permanent.
To: cajuncow
Further proof that the government is so tax-crazy that it really ought to be ov..... ugh, wait, I haven’t paid the tax yet. I guess I can’t say that. Oh, nevermind.
