Birchers are completely against a Convention Of States, and... remaining comments self censored. Why don’t you attempt to explain why COS would have everyone believe there isn’t a single thing to worry about promoting an Article V convention. After that, why don’t you lay out for all to see what you thing THE problem is in your opinion.

Article V issues are divisive among those who love the Constitution and the other founding documents. Split down the middle it pits Constitutional conservative patriots against others of like mind while the democrats other Communists and their willing accomplices in the media wait to take advantage of the potential opportunity, not necessarily to achieve success through ratification of any amendments but to further prove the Constitution as an impediment to progressive policies.

JMHO.

Why don’t you attempt to explain why crossing the street (CTS)* would have everyone believe there isn’t a single thing to worry about...

*Or

This is a fun game! I say, “We should support Cats!.” You say, “Explain why nothing can go wrong supporting cats...”

See the problem?

Obviously, to anyone with half a brain, [they] shift the premise to a statement nobody in COS movement, and certainly not I, have said. Then they argue against that statement. Classic “Straw Man Fallacy,” a basic error of logic.

“A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the proper idea of the argument under discussion was not addressed or properly refuted.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.

The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent’s proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., “stand up a straw man”) and the subsequent refutation of that false argument (”knock down a straw man”) instead of the opponent’s proposition.[2][3] Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects.”

If anyone wants to debate a COS without resorting to such logical fallacies, I’m otherwise open.
