Default The Teabagger Socialist-Free Purity Pledge

Daily Kos: State of the Nation

I just heard a talk radio guy read this on the air, with patriotic music and nearly died laughing. He made one change at the end though:

SWORN ON A BIBLE AND SIGNED THIS DAY OF __________ IN THE YEAR ___.

to

SWORN ON A AYN RAND BIBLE AND SIGNED THIS DAY OF __________ IN THE YEAR ___.

Enjoy

Speaking of Tea Baggers I saw this posted elsewhere. Would it apply to the Tea Baggers that are openly calling for the overthrow of the US government? Or the radio/TV guys with their lies?

Smith Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Smith Act of 1940

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 115 > § 2385


§ 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or

Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or

Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

As used in this section, the terms “organizes” and “organize”, with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.
