That's like asking what slow moving poison would cause you to drink hydrochloric acid? It's a nonsense proposition.

The Comcon is a tyrant's dream. I've been re-reading our "Patriot's History of the United States" and noted how extremely easy it was for the Founders to simply ignore the instructions from the states when they attended the Articles convention---and their charge was ONLY to revise the Articles.

The very first thing they did was agree to meet in secret. The second thing they did was to completely scrap the articles.

It baffles me why conservatives---who so far can't control the electoral system enough to control the House, Senate, and White House and ensure that a substantial majority of the USSC justices are conservatives---think that magically they will be able to control such conventions.

Who names the delegates to the Comcon? The state legislatures? Oh, that makes me feel safe. Governors? Strike two. Special Comcon nominating conventions? And so if, in OH or FL, we can't control the political apparatus to keep from electing Obama, somehow magically we'll control a Comcon nominating convention?

I know EXACTLY in OH who would be at such a convention: the DeWines, Tafts, Kasich, plus some of the old line Dem families for "fairness" and maybe 2-3 Tea Partiers.

A very good fictional book by a Freeper you might want to look at deals with this: Matt Bracken's "Foreign Enemies and Traitors." His scenario is exactly how I think it would play out.

"It baffles me why conservatives---who so far can't control the electoral system enough to control the House, Senate, and White House and ensure that a substantial majority of the USSC justices are conservatives---think that magically they will be able to control such conventions."

The answer to that is plain as day. It's right in front of us. Are they really conservatives? They full well know what the outcome of their effort would be. They knew it to begin with, and they are more than fully informed now. Are they really conservatives?

Let's go to the federally funded local level. How many school teachers, administrators, regulatory inspectors, planners, social workers, commissioners, police, assessor's office employees or administrators of associated NGOs and government-connected services in local governments are conservatives? How many pensioners? Many are Republicans, but nearly none of them are conservatives.

See my earlier comment including "heavy hitters." It's very difficult to do anything productive without stepping in a regulation devised to rob people. What are their social inclinations? The answer to that is showing in the laws and policies of our society now, including business policies. We're morally bankrupt as a nation.

Very much agreed on your comment, though. The beast is seeing starvation ahead in the debt decline and thrashing around, looking for victims to rob.
