Typically when articles such as this are published, the thread is populated with gainsayers who oppose Article V many of whom are prompted as noted in the article by considerations advanced by the John Birch society and the late Phyllis Schlafly.
The article fails to mention, however, that a principal source of objections to a convention of the states emanates from the National Rifle Association that professes fears for the Second Amendment. The arithmetic of a Convention of the States in which 13 separate legislative bodies out of 99 can absolutely stop a runaway amendment, makes the objection downright silly in a practical world.
I rather suspect that the NRA is acting not to protect the Second Amendment in this case but to increase their own funding, a matter which is likely to come under increasing scrutiny in the wake of the charges by Oliver North.
Whatever the motivations of the leadership of the NRA, there is no reason why its members or anyone who respects the Second Amendment should play their useful idiot.
Conservatives (in general) are not fond of chaos. If we are able to call a Convention of States there will be a great deal of ensuing chaos. It will disrupt our comfortable lives in ways we cannot even begin to imagine. It may hasten our downfall as a nation or it may save us. Or we may land at any point along the continuum. What I do know is that we are currently on a slow march to oblivion and I prefer to not go quietly. The ideals that founded America are alive and strong in many of her people. No one should be able to tell us that we are not strong enough to weather the storm or that we should accept our fate as voiceless peons in thrall to the deep state. If there is a method enshrined in the Constitution that provides an opportunity to enforce the will of the people we should take it and use it. For our children and grandchildren and all of those that follow. Our 1st and most precious responsibility is to preserve their ability to choose their own fate. I believe Freedom is far more valuable than comfort. Indeed, without Freedom there can be no comfort.
