I see Becks point, but still wonder how long "peace" will hold out and/or work to fix our current situation? I fear what might eventually have to happen...
The democrats want to incite violence from the right. That is what is important to understand.
I suggest that we nurture the anger growing at Obama on the left.
Felons. DC as a State. Illegals legalized.
If you make the voters mad . . . just get new voters.
This is the most likely path to dictatorship right now. Substitute new voters for a while to maintain the form of a democratic republic.
Interesting that Beck, the biggest prominant “firebrand” right now is making a call for peace. And good. He probably realizes better than the other talking heads on the right the mood of the country right now . . . and it scares him.
I’m with him. Win. We have to win.
He doesn’t want to be hauled of to prison never to be heard from again. He and Rush will probably get a cell next to Noriega. Is he still alive? See how easy it is to forget?
But don’t be surprised to see Beck or Rush go quiet. If you’re threatened with the power of this country’s police force and know you can’t win, what would you do?
Beck knows him sacrificing his one little life will not accomplish anything. And that’s what the left wants him to do.
I get frustrated so much that I want to hear the calls to rebellion. But I know now is not the time.
Beck may fold but Rush will die with his Golden EIB microphone transmitting.

Conservatives have the power in the countryside, in a way that the Constitution gave that allows them to go around Congress, the President and not be held hostage by regions of large concentrated populations.
I suggest you study and understand this power and do not fear it:

read, study and understand for when the time is right, you will know what to do and what to tell those around you.
“I suggest that we nurture the anger growing at Obama on the left.”
Good idea.
I won’t waste an opportunity to remind liberals that Obama’s rhetoric about bringing down the evil insurance companies has led to making them contractors with millions of new forced customers.
I think it’s a bad idea for a constitutional convention, so if that’s the route you are suggesting, it’s just a bigger can of worms that can turn uglier than what we have in front of us, already, IMO
Good and keep it up. The libs are all upset because we are no longer being Mr.niceguy and are using Alinsky’s rules against them. We are never backing down and are in this fight to the death.
You should study it. Think of how many counties that conservatives control because the convention does not pass anything, it only proposes but the people in the countryside decide whether what is proposed is ratified (passed), and little Idaho is as powerful as California.
There has been a lot of fear tactics used to make people react just like you did. It’s a “can of worms”. The Left likes you to think that because they know if the people in the countryside ever wake up to what the framers gave them in the Constitution, they will lose.
You should study before jumping to a fearful opinion.
One step at a time we are going. The convention will follow when the time is right. First we must destroy the enemy and then put the pieces into place to ensure they never rise again.
I’m with Lucky. No Constitutional Convention. Compare the founders with the politicians we have. I love Sarah Palin, but I’ll pick Adams, Hamilton, Washington, Franklin etc. over her any day of the week, night and day, year after year if the task is writing a Constitution. Now compare the minute men to today’s electorate . . . I’ll pick the country with the minute men to ratify that Constitution.
Ping to mention of you
All this talk about dolling up in camo and going out in a blaze of glory is pure BS. If the time ever comes to fight the Powers That Be, the armed forces (or some portion thereof) will do the fighting, not some online yahoo with a beer gut who has seen Red Dawn 256 times. To paraphrase the late Gen. George S. Patton, guys like that know as much about fighting as they do about fornicating -- that is, NOTHING.
Talk radio is for idiots. I don't listen to it, and I'm not a Glenn Beck fan. He's wrong about a lot of things. But he's right on this one.
The founders you mention were but a small, very small part of the convention then.
The convention must be called by the states, and must have a purpose but the convention will never pass anything, never. They are not allowed to by law.
The convention can only *propose* to the people in the countryside and suggest to local conventions what must be amended.
For example, an amendment *proposal* to repeal the 16th amendment. Would the people in the country vote to ratify that? Because if they replaced the tax code of today with a much more growth oriented, simple and corruption resistant code, then socialism would nearly die. The present tax code gives the Left their power.
For example, an amendment *proposal* to repeal the 17th amendment? This amendment has disconnected and weakened the states from the people in their state by having to bend to federal mandates; there have been non-stop unfunded federal mandates since the 17th was passed. Repealing the 17th will help reverse the centralization of power, the central command and help give people in states more local control.
A convention could propose nonsensical amendments such as ‘reparations’, guaranteed 4-day work weeks, guaranteed 1-month vacations and free health care for all. But it will never receive attention when sent back to the states and countryside for ratification. The beauty of the process is that it does not depend on population for ratification. Detroit, Cleveland and a host of blue centers of Left power will lose.
That’s why you are asked to study and not be fearful. If all else fails, and the time is right you will be educated. Look at a map of red states and red counties, and you should feel more confident of the power you hold.
“First we must destroy the enemy...”
In the face of the current socialist tsunami, it seems likely the 2010 elections will be the last opportunity for decades.
If the elections are unsuccessful, there is every reason to believe the Marxists will continue with their agenda whereupon the next significant event will likely be the 2d American Revolution in Beck’s writing.
“The convention will follow when the time is right.”
ASAP after successful 2010 elections.
Beyond HC, there is currently amnesty, Cap and Trade and the financial reform bills.
One could argue a convention will be the only efficient fix.
Fortunately, the states may indeed call a convention for specific and limited purposes.
But you are a monarchist, so who gives a shit what you think?
Your mom.
