I posted a decade ago that the real ‘RINOs’ are the conservatives. The Republican Party has moved so far to the left that they passed ‘moderate’ a long time ago. The GOPelites put up stronger fights against the conservatives (Tea Party faction) than they do against the Dems.
Recently, Mark Levin has been on a tear, railing against the GOP. The problem is, the only alternative he offers is an Article 5 Convention. That is NOT going to correct what is wrong with the GOP/Republican Party.
Conservatives, including the old Reagan Democrats faction — who party has moved so far left that it is the party of the radicals from the 1960s — need to realize their political parties of old are gone.
While noble, Levin's push for an Article 5 Convention is an attempt to close the barn door after the horse left.
A lawless despotic government IS NOT going to abide by any "laws" passed and ratified that it does not agree with. Fact of life and history.
An Article V Convention and any amendments ratified from it would have to be applied AFTER the despots are removed from power - and we revert back to the Rule of Law. That is if the federal government doesn't decree a meeting of the states to be an insurrection given the amount of demonization the idea of proposing new amendments to revert us back to the intents of the Founders has been.
Reverting back tot he rule of law is not going to happen without violence. Those in power and those seeking power ARE NOT going to give up their rule without a fight.
Right now they will use an activist judiciary, and praetorian media to wage the war against the will of the people, and knock down laws and bans against perverted behavior the regime does not like. Tomorrow it will be simple decree by Obama, his Czars and his Alphabets - and he will use brute force to impose his will.
And that is what the Militarization of law enforcement, Federal Alphabets and the stockpiling of ammunition and weaponry is for.
Amendment V is not going to stop lawless tyrants, because they are a law unto themselves. They will render null and void any 'amendment' passed that reins in their power if choking off the supply of federal funds does not squeeze compliance and submission to the Tyrants out of those states.
