It is a very great pity that the long and illustrious career of Phyllis Schlafly has been capped by an extremely misguided opposition to reforming our system of government to bring it in line with the original intent of the Constitution by employing the means provided by the Constitution itself.

By way of example, in the video in which she argues against an Article V convention, she cites the danger of gay rights being enshrined. In the short time since she made that video gay rights have been enshrined and have become the law of the land. In effect, we have had a constitutional amendment but we were never given the process. She also fears loss of gun rights but she perhaps would have been better informed had she considered that gun rights will likely go the same way as opposition to homosexual marriage, the Constitution will be amended, gun rights will be eliminated, but it will be done by forces over which we have no control.

Most of the nitwit news talking heads couldn't even pronounce her last name properly. They repeatedly refered to her as Phyllis Schaffley.

Let an Article V in the door and all you are talking and more will happen just that much faster. MHO. Phyllis was the last of a unique breed, and regardless of her stance on Article V she deserves all the credit for holding to her principles to the end. The country is hovering around 28 States at the moment, who have passed resolutions leading to an Article V call. I don’t think we are going to get too much closer to the 34 necessary for the call unless Hillary wins the election. If she does I have no idea where things will go other than extremely south of where we now are. If Trump wins, an Article V will not be in our interest IMHO.

Phyllis was correct. Left will use Article V to jam their new world order global government down our throat and make us choke on the Bill of Rights which will be eliminated. Our Republic will be destroyed. All well and good to have your rosy view of Article V, but it can go off the rails and destroy us. The powers that be will not go down easily and will use Article V against us.
