There is no way that I want a convention - under ANY premise. I have watched these last 20 years where massive cheating, lying and extra-Constitutional means have been used to subvert or laws, our tradition, our ethics, and our morals. I am certainly not willing to see a supposedly innocent calling for “THE” convention to see it again raped, pillaged and subverted to evil’s aims. NOT EVEN AN IOTA!
We are at the point now where the only means to correct this is outright armed revolt - because there is nowhere left on this planet left to go and start over. These people are our enemies, not peoples of differing opinion and you cannot reason with them.
So the last measure in the constitution to stem the tied of this monster is something you dont even want to try, but you are just all ready to go out and start shooting people?
And no it isnt a “constitutional convention”. Why do people keep saying that?
If the Convention of the States fails to produce anything of value, you can still have your armed revolution. Meanwhile there are still some adults in the country.
And, Gaffer, there’s no chance of that revolutionary action of yours ever being hijacked by leftists, now is there? (ROTFLMAO)
Any amendment adopted by such a convention would still have to be approved by 3/4 of the states, right? I don’t see the harm in having a convention. At least the conversation would be on our footing - how to limit the government. But with the country split the way it is, no amendments would likely ever be adopted anyway.

I couldn’t agree more. Lately I’ve found myself having to be real careful what I post online for fear of a Secret Service or FBI visit. It’s not that I’m scared of them, but if I step over a legal threshold I want it to mean something.
I’m not sure how a revolt would happen. It’s almost impossible to call for one online, with the NSA monitoring everything we do, not to mention all the morons who would report something like that.
I figure a revolt will almost have to be spontaneous. Maybe if Obama signs one too many executive orders, or if Congress passes one too many laws. Even if our govt. goes way over the line, and a spark is lit, I don’t see what the actual targets would be?
I wish a few states would have the balls to just start blatantly ignoring federal decrees. Call their bluff. I could actually see that happening in a state with one strong leader, and enough Constitutional Conservatives supporting him.
