Our only possible redemption is through the reassertion of OUR sovereignty, which can be done without resort to less than peaceful means.
We are in complete agreement on the above statement.
Based on the latest SCOTUS action, any messing with the present Constitution through article V would IMHO be absolute insanity. It is very difficult to get Democrats to think in terms of Article V due to their focus on the SCOTUS decision in Citizens United. Thus a Republican only Article V action would be deemed one sided and null and void. The assembly of State Legislatures has determined that Article V action must be bi-partisan to avoid the finger pointing from Democrats. Unlike what took place in the Congress with the passage of the affordable care act without one single Republican vote.
It is time to get out of the democrat/republican mindset. They are the two wings of the DC Uniparty and will not be represented at the convention.
As group, the states know all too well that Washington DC is out of control and driving them and their people into misery. Well over half of the states opposed both Obamacare and his illegal amnesty in court. I'm aware of two states taking steps to counter the effect the fag marriage Scotus decision. State legislatures are coming to realize they have the power to arrest and reverse the trend.
I suspect most Article V opponents emotionally refuse to believe that America is not exempt from historic cycles of freedom to slavery, of the sort Aristotle described unless we actively work to stop the process. They believe we can find deliverance if we only elect the right person for president. Our history has proved them to be fools.
Article V opponents equate a state amendment convention with our corrupted congress, a congress in which our freedoms and rights are easily traded away today for money, media support, and reelection tomorrow.
They are wrong. Article V opponents are stuck in static analysis. Men are shaped by the institutions in which they participate. The congressman who sells our rights today would never think of harming his family. Michele Bachmann was run out of congress for being virtuous in a corrupt institution. Had she joined the sleaze and venality that typifies congress, she could be there today. What I describe is identical to the behavioral difference between men in strip clubs and church.
The states will send delegates, meaning serious men/women of character and judgment armed with commissions to promote their state supported amendments. Delegates to an amendment convention will be unconcerned with that which drives congress: money, personal power, and reelection will not be their focus or interest.
We can have every expectation that state delegates will rise to the occasion. They will understand the gravity of their assignment and conduct themselves in a manner precisely opposite that of congress.
