I was in favor of Article V prior to posting this article because I believe in Mark Levin - that he would not lead patriots astray.
I believe there is hope for our country and article V may play a role, if there is a consensus.
Debate and discussion are the avenue of gaining a consensus.
As Ted Cruz would say you need to win the debate.
This could have been an opportunity to show your ability to provide the arguments for Article V and win the debate but instead, there have been attacks that demonstrate questionable tactics.
Will you be prepared with arguments when faced with an opponents viewpoint?
Most certainly 'YES'!
However, this is not the first anti-Art-V thread... indeed it is one of hundreds. The same arguments are put forth, and the same set of folks are here at FR to defend against them. It seems that the JBS have an agenda, perhaps that has nothing to do with Art-V.
It just gets frustrating hearing the same arguments and repeating the same counterpoints.
When something new appears, then there is incentive to take the argument seriously and respond.
Save your righteous indignation. You're late to the game.
Those of us whom you are chastising have been debating this for some time now. Search FR from Google using relevant terms and see for yourself.
It is you who is noise right now.

Yes, and I look forward to it. Huldah’s misrepresentation of our constitutional and earlier history is especially irksome. As C210N said, the same opponents trot out the same JBS errors every time.
Fear not. Mark Levin told us last week that he has teamed up with other brilliant and talented men to take get our movement back on track. It is our last hope.
I call it like it is. I’m sorry if that offends some people. I have been following Mark Levin for over 10 years now but it is not a matter of believing in Mark Levin - it is a matter of believing in the rule of law. Mark would agree with that. It is not about someone - it is about our constitution. Are you prepared to get involved at the state level to support the Article V movement? I am prepared with the facts but when someone uses scare tactics in lieu of the facts, I have to call it for what it is. And that, my friend, is what Mark Levin would do.
They ignore the Constitution now so how will new amendments be enforced?
We currently have a flexable Constitution since we allow Federal Judges to set new precedent and the Supreme Court refuses to review their unconstitutional decisions, thereby effectively amending the Constitution by fiat.
If we learned anything from the last election it is that no one gives a shite anymore, whether they won because the people are now socialist or by fraud no longer matters, because the GOPe has said nothing.
We will have a change, I believe only as a result of war or a monetary collapse. I used to have some hope that Governors would actually exercise the power of their offices but now see that as wishful thinking.
Pray for our Republic while you still can.
