Think Government Is Corrupt? You May Face 10 Years In Jail

And all the sheep said: Baaahhh...and kept on grazing. Keep your powder dry, boys. Oops...gotta go register, now, I guess.

Wow, I hope Georgia doesn't consider a law of that nature. It seems the only redeeming portion is the one excluding certain organizations and it just isn't right.

S.C. Code of Laws Title 23 Chapter 29 Subversive Activities Registration Act - www.scstatehouse.gov-LPITS

Real redeeming! It excludes Labor Unions. What a surprise.

Real redeeming! It excludes Labor Unions. What a surprise.

As I said, it is also just not right. But labor unions weren't all that's excluded: "religious, fraternal or patriotic organization, society or association, or their members, whose objectives and aims do not contemplate the overthrow of the government of the United States, of this State or of any political subdivision thereof by force or violence or other unlawful means." It still doesn't make it right.

What a great idea. Let's make it a law that all terrorists must register with the local authorities too. That will stop all terrorism. Brilliant!

Guys ...... I know my comment is off topic

The USA is no longer the USA, a little over a year ago out here in Washington Boeing went on strike (longest one since the 1940's) and our Governor told the workers to get back to work or else .... Arrogant ***** !

Since when does the Gov-ment have that power.

Maybe the political parties should have to register? State, County, City, Precinct ... One or the other of the two major parties in this country are either taking over control or attempting to take over control ... Oh! That's right ... political speech (of the party in control) prevails, do not speak against it!

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.

If one notices the wording, Congress (limited central government) is the only entity that is prohibited. States are not limited.

The last statement is not precisely true. The states delegated to the Federal government dominion over themselves in some respects - like interstate commerce. It's kind of circular but the states set up the Fed and gave to the Fed some control over the states. The constitution also says that the Fed must guarantee that each state have a republican form of governement. So no state could decide to be a dictatorship or go socialist. The founding fathers were great about dividing power and pitting one branch or level of government against another. This is the only thing that has kept us as free as we are.
