There is one flaw in your assertions that ‘they’ will take our guns, take our “religious pseudo-freedoms” and vote themselves a “European socialist state”.

That flaw is why don’t ‘they’ themselves call a convention? What’s stopping them?

The Pelosi/Reid congress could have proposed any statist amendment they wished. They didn't. Why?

They didn't bother because a hundred years after the 16th and 17th amendments, the Left is very close to consummating their plan to establish tyranny without any further formal change to the Constitution.

Too many Freepers think we'll lose freedoms we've already lost.

Article V Now!!!

Exactly correct, as I've stated to the naysayers before. If the left had the votes to take our guns through amending the constitution they would have done it a long time ago. They would use article V for their agenda. The reason they don't is obvious to any thinking person. The lefts agenda simply doesn't have support of the people.

At this point those posting stuff like "they will take or guns", "religious freedoms" etc. must be written off as trolls or willingly ignorant. Two years ago this mindset could have been understandable but today there is no excuse.

They don’t need to. They have succeeded in one party, one branch of government rule.
