I have to disagree for the very reason that the conservatives can run the table at a convention. Save for one proposal everything that is the conservative movement has already been proposed by the states. The only thing standing in the way of the conservative agenda becoming the law of the land is conservatives themselves. Liberals have not been interested in the convention whatsoever and even now barely even discuss it. The reason is basic. The states are basically conservative in nature and thus reflect that in their applications. Amendments deal with issues which must be resolved using facts and logic something frequently missing in liberal positions on some issues. The first party that finally realizes the people want action not blockage is the party that will win election after election.
Right now conservatives need a new approach, a new direction to offer the people. Frankly I don’t see anything else that can be offered. Leadership is about taking risks and moving forward. Washington took risks and won a war he was not supposed to win. If he had given into his fears, we’d still be British. Examples like this in our history repeatedly. Fear is neither respected nor honored in our country and those who base and support or oppose an action based on it simply will fail in the end.
Being American is about winning. If people say holding a convention is impossible, I ask, since when has that ever mattered in America? We have problems to solve and we aren’t about to do it by doing nothing.
/We have NO leadership, we have no virtue, we have very little in the way of conservative activists which will be allowed to participate as delegates to that Constitutional Convention...
It will be populated by the usual suspects of moderate and RINO’s we have in the ranks right now...
I would rahter not have a convention, than allow these types of people to try and battle the liberal/Febian socialists which will be utilized as delegates from the political opposition...
It is a very dangerous combination, in my opinion...
To say the liberals are not interested in this process does not mean they cannot mobilize very quickly if need be...
But the bottom line is this...We have battles we need to win right now outside of this concept, and until those are resolved, this idea needs to be resisted at all costs...
We have bigger fish to fry right now...
Again, this is just the way I see it...It can and will be used against us, and until we get better “conservative and virtuous” leadership to effectively fight for originalist intent of our Constitution, I would rather not convene one to address these extraneous liberal ideas/agenda...
