I will not call you names. Nor do have any animosity toward you. I simply don’t believe there is as much risk to the nation as many fear. There are too many freedom loving states to ratify anything really bad. Is there risk? Of course there is always some risk. Even if we postulate that the risk is not small, what choice do we have? The runaway federal government must be brought to heel. Significant numbers of our leaders knowingly or unknowingly support policies that will destroy us. They are aided by the propaganda media. And neither of these groups care one wit about our constitution. Our course to maintain our republic is to raise the power of the states and reduce the power of the federal government. Sorry I came across so strongly. There is no disrespect intended toward you or others. Some days later I am still irritated about another thread where in the editorialist stated we (conservatives) deserve to loose because of the actions of the pubbie elite. Some of that irritation blead into my reply to you. Again sorry for that.
Nah, I had a crappy weekend...I took no offense, it was I who was being a bit of a jerk. Let's consider all things anew.
Windflier summed it up pretty well. I have a lot of fear when something as major as an Article V is contemplated. I don't know if it's "irrational" or not, because it's, well, irrational. Like Pi or the square-root of two. Could be worse, could be unreal, like the square-root of -2, right?
I can't get the picture of Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer rewriting the Constitution that they've been abusing, their entire lives, out of my head. Could you ever eat again if you've ever pictured Rosa DeLauro licking her chops? {shudder!!}
