Anyone want to start a subversive organization with me? I’ll take anyone — you don’t even have to agree with me on anything — but I’m especially interested in recruiting people from South Carolina.
I don’t have a name for the organization yet, but I’m on the lookout for a “good” acronym, i.e. something using words such as STUPID, DUMB, TOOFUNNY, TOTALLYFREAKINGYHILARIOUS, or ROFLMAO.
Once I get a couple of members, I’ll fill out the paperwork and send it in with the $5 fee.
The form asks:
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? [ ] YES [ ] NO
Now I’m not into revolution or anything (ewwww… the messiness, the noise), but I’ve often thought we’d be better off with a parliamentary form of government that preserves the Bill of Rights. The Constitution itself is really just a procedural document. I think what most people actually (and properly) revere are the ideas in the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. We’ve amended the Constitution over and over. I think we love the idea of it — the political struggle to create it and what that means to human freedom — more than the actual procedures it outlines.
A position such as the one I’ve just taken would fall under “controlling” on the Subversive Agent Form. So we’re good to go!
Again, you don’t have to agree with me. I suspect you don’t 
All I need is a coalition of the willing — two people, at least one from South Carolina.
Editors Note: I did a quick check on Google News to see if this is a joke. My source is the Huffington Post. At the time I hit my “publish” button, I could not find any coverage by actual reporters working for MSM news organizations. I have a College Council meeting in 20 minutes, so it’s more important for me to prepare for that than spend any more time on this exceedingly amusing topic. But know that I go to my meeting with a smile on my face
