With all due respect, I completely disagree...
Article V is ONE approach... Nullification is another... And voting some of these bastards out is a 3rd...
NONE of this will happen in 1 or 2 (or 10) elections. We didn’t get here in 10 years and it won’t be fixed that fast either. However, if we could get another 10 Ted Cruz’s in the Senate would that help? How about another 50 Trey Gowdy’s in the House?
Unfortunately, Conservatives tend to fight each other because we want to be right about our approach. I’ll support any common-sense, constitutional attempt to restore the Framers constitution... If this includes Article V then that’s one approach.
It’s time for the conservatives & patriots to Cloward/Piven Washington DC!
Well I’m a nullification girl myself. The 10th ammendment might save us but if you are waiting on the Republican party to actually reduce the size of the US govt by say 50% which is what would be required at minimum you are deluded.
Lets just say The Republicans take back the Senate and we elect Cruz or Paul as the next President. They all agree to start shuttering these unnecessary and out of control agencies. It means basically laying off probably half a million people. The hue and cry from the MSM and the Democrats would be a tsunami. AFSME the union would be apoplectic and on every commie news channel screaming bloody murder. Even though AFSME does not represent Federal employees it would still be screaming. The American public would be stirred up agains’t the whole idea.
The Bureacracy is a self feeding mechanism. It defends itself like HAL in Space Odessy 2000. Getting rid of Bureacracy is the single most burdensome task at hand. It is going to take something significant to rid ourselves of what has been put in place over the course of a hundred years or more. The Progressives run the govt on a daily basis no matter who is President.
While Mark Levin and his followers are worrying about repealing the 17th ammendment they should be pushing the 10th ammendment and trying to get the states or enough of them to band together and start nullifying these overeaching and unconstitutional rules and regs put out by the US bureacracy. If necessary these same states need to stop sending in the Alchohol, tobacco and gasoline taxes to the Feds and starve the beast into submission. They need to start kicking the federal agents out of their states and tell them not to come back. Its going to take some really hard azz action to get this country under control.
We are beyond the ballot box at this point. We are certainly beyond Article V. We may be beyond nullification which is why everyone is running out buying up gun, ammo and food. Its not because they are afraid of burglars.
