A Con-Con is a very bad idea, no matter how bad things seem right now. With a Con-Con, anything would be up for grabs.

Delete the 2nd amendment?

New amendment enshrining socialised medicine as a “right” (or anything else, for that matter)?

4th amendment needs to go?

Abolish the 10th amendment?

All could happen in a Con-Con.


The 2nd Amedment is wounded.
The 4th Amendment only seems to apply to abortion rights.
The 10th Amendment has been turned inside out, as has pretty much the whole Constitution.

I'm far from a southerner, but at this stage, I can only say a right to secession is necessary, because too much of this country is lefty in its orientation.

At some point, the risks of a Con-Con are less than the risk of another generation of lefty worms and termites eating away at the entire fabric of society.

I think we are close enough to that point.

Another thing that might help is setting up an amendment that makes all taxes on income implement a fixed rate, no exceptions or exemptions or credits or rebates.

Perhaps another amendment that prohibits the Federal government from collecting taxes directly from the citizen but forces federal taxes to be placed in escrow held by the states (that way states can unilaterally deny fed-gov funding).

“I’m far from a southerner, but at this stage, I can only say a right to secession is necessary...”

Don’t worry, Obama has always intended to force this and we will reach the point where this becomes - inevitable - whether we like it or not.

Allow me to explain... (video I uploaded yesterday)
