I have to agree with you that it is insane to "call" for the overthrown of the government -- that is something leftist would advocate.
What Levin and most Freepers want is the Restoration of our Constitutional Republic through the legitimate process already in place in our Constitution.
The Marxist left wants nothing more than people advocating what this guy wants -- so they can bring down the iron fist.
With all that said, I do believe the Amendment V process has a very low probability of success [excluding a caveat explained below] I don't have time to espouse why the process will likely not work..
I will say it would be equally smart for the Several States to put in place a process to peacefully handle what is the more likely case -- financial collapse of the central government.
Although not desired, a financial collapse of the Federal government would allow States to quickly act to dissolve the unconstitutional parts (this would include the firing of vast numbers of Federal workers, revoking of pensions, dissolution of all Courts below the Supreme Court and the sell-off of most Federal lands our West.
A collapse would also expedite the Amendment V process.
If the States don't quickly act during a financial collapse then a dictatorship will likely arise.
Exactly. Their demands were just too crazy.
[ And to be honest, this thing had an odd feel to it. I just couldn’t shake the feeling it was a false flag. ]
Same here, it set off ALL my warning bells...
10 millin protesters in DC with Agent Provacateurs in the crowd would have been the PERFECT excuse for Martial Law by the Won...
I see Article V as an exit ramp we still have available to us... for now....
reputedly cell towers are shut down intermittently so no live-stream broadcasting from the Mall.
[ So when they say the Tea Party has died it is because we are underground. ]
The IRS hearings were a “message recived” for me...
[ Yeah. The “popular” uprisings around the world have been nothing but disaster after disaster. ]
We have a higher probablility of being ruled by the muslim brotherhood after such a uprising than a restorarion of the republic...
I think the whole thing was a left wing set up. There may be a handful of good people behind it but liberals seem to be far more aware of it than conservatives.
Yup. False Flag most probably. Or else extreme incompetence both in the messaging (who wants to line up for a “coup” FGS????) and/or getting the message out.
Demoralizing only if the Marxist Media covers it at all.
May be a good thing it failed.
the whole “spring” thing was to me a turnoff. sounds like some lefties tried to make a tea party event. It’s a restoration that we need back to founding principles not a revolution. Even the American revolution was not a revolution but a restoration of previous rights taken away. My money was spent on a $50 donation to Hillsdale.
you can tell by the name... American Spring? Only a libtard would think that is a positive name.
Good point.
The whole thing seemed kinda hinckey.
So, the only way you will see mass action by conservatives will be, like the Bundy ranch, where they have banded together to protect something, not march to kill and take something.

there has been ZER0 coverage of the event
until today
those on the left wanted to make sure very few people heard about it but will now crow about it’s failure to draw millions after the fact
Who can afford to travel to Den of Corruption (DC) let alone rent hotel rooms?
I ain't camping on the Mall.
Oh, and then there's work. Not only for my family's survival but to support those that deserve the benefits from my tax dollars but also the millions of illegals and welfare leeches.
This is either a false flag or not well thought out by a couple of idiots.
