Article V ping!
Our problem is clearly one of Government Lock.
a convention for proposing amendments is a federal convention; it is a creature of the states or, more specifically, of the state legislatures. And it is a limited-purpose convention. It is not designed to set up an entirely new constitution or a new form of government. It is designed to operate within the confines of our existing Constitution.

If you think of a diagram where an individual is pictured in the center and surrounding him are the layers of government as a structure designed to insulate him from tyranny, that is how our Founders designed our structure of freedom.
The structure has been invaded and weakened. Obamacare is the tool by which Obama plans to smash our Founder's carefully constructed and insulated nest by denying us our ability to live freely, to work freely and express our spirituality freely.
Obama and his crew, by using the false front of healthcare, are preparing to jackhammer our core freedoms out of the edifice.
soebarkha says, “Stuff it”.
Our history is rule of law. We shun mindless mob revolts. Senseless slaughter's NOT the American way.
Liberal elites want us to stand in violence against them so they can mow us down. IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
Homeland can buy another 50 billion bullets if they want - and they'll all go to waste. Americans are going to take on the corrupt left with the tools our History has given us.
Corrupt criminals in the IRS, FBI, Homeland, and EPA will be taking the 5th, but we'll get them... The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.
Twas always thus and always will be,
it is only a matter of degree.
There will never be an Article V convention that leads to anything good. Mark. My. Words.
“To be GOVERNED is to be kept in sight, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right, nor the wisdom, nor the virtue to do so.
To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction, noted, registered, enrolled, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished.
It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, trained, ransomed, exploited, monopolized, extorted, squeezed, mystified, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, despised, harassed, tracked, abused, clubbed, disarmed, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and, to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, outraged, dishonored.
That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.”
P.J. Proudhon, General Idea of the Revolution in the Nineteenth Century, trans. John Beverley Robinson. London: Freedom Press, 1923, p. 294
“Obama has set executive precedents that no election can erase.”
Absolutely. The Ruling Class has been playing a shell game with us for over a decade. One shell is Boner. Is the pea under that one? No. Another shell is the Establishment GOP nominee who can only win through crossover primary votes. Is that the shell with the pea? No. Then there’s the ‘Third Party Protest Vote’ shell. It was tried with Ross Perot and earlier with Teddy R’s ‘Progressive Party’. Both times it split the anti-leftist vote. The third empty shell.
The few times we elect a Ronald Reagan fail to erase all the other times that someone keeps pointing at an empty shell. People keep voting according to their rules. We need to break this cycle before something unalterable happens, such as comprehensive insani-gration. Then it will be too late. Maybe not the same as the Vandals scaking Rome, but the end result will be a new Dark Ages.
Is is going to take a long and diligent effort to undo what the department of education has done to dumb down our population to the point it is today.

Let’s all work together to get this going.
The Federal Government is broken. We owe it to The Founders and ourselves to attempt a rational Article V amendment process.
When a GOP president in future does same thing Zero has done with Executive Orders, he will be taken to the woodshed by the MSM real fast.
A ‘national media’ profits from a ‘national government’.
So it builds one.
No constitution can stand against a consolidated media that controls the public square.
“Who speaks for the Constitution?” It doesn’t matter: his words will not be broadcast.
