I agree. As the saying goes, quitters never win and winners never quit.

No, not dead. It may be under attack, but it’s not dead.

Sorry Rabbi. People have been betting against the American Republic pretty much since 1776. They’ve all gone home losers.

Many other accommodating comments, but enough to respond to yours.

We still have Article V. After we use that , if it fails, then we still have guns. When do we use them? When they try and take them. That is the usual spark that starts the fight historically and it was the spark that started the American Revolution.

Actually that’s when the stench from the corpse was finally noticed, having passed away over 40 years prior, finally succumbing to an agonizing political wound struck in 1964.

A key component of the American dream was limited government.

Go ahead, tell me again it didn't die.

Sure go ahead, for all the good that will do. Imagine a group of people who have successfully taken over the US voting system falling asleep when their newborn is threatened by a now silly Article V action. Had people paid attention the last 50 years and been active in community politics, schools and the like, perhaps sometime in that period an Article V action would have worked. Too late now, kids.

If and when it comes to guns, confiscation did not spark anything; one just has to look to Australia for a recent example of that fallacy. The spark that ignited the American Revolution was taxation, not confiscation of guns.

All I see now is puffy chests screeching from their overstuffed armchairs, directing fantasy battles while eating pizza and playing computer games.

Resurrection is still possible, even imperative.

Remember, there was no “American Ideal” before the rebellion against the British Crown in the 18th Century, and that dream was perilously close to extinction even as it was getting launched. The spirit lives, even if the visible signs seem to have expired. The forms and the structure are still in place, and there is enough heat remaining to restore the full flame from the embers.

Phoenix arising from the ashes.

Re-read Thomas Paine’s The America Crisis - “These are the times that try men’s souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”

<>silly Article V action<>

Do you regard other Constitutional clauses or Articles as silly?

<>Sure go ahead, for all the good that will do.<>

Amendment XVIII: “The 17th Amendment is hearby repealed,” will restore the Framers federal governing form and in time will do wonders.

“If and when it comes to guns, confiscation did not spark anything”

Never heard of the shot heard round the world? Lexington and Concord? Paul Revere?
