I crossed w/Huldah or a surrogate here at FR a couple years ago and shredded him/her.

One day, these people are going to wake up and realize they waited too long. The screws are tightening on conservative dissent every day, and our grand experiment in liberty will be over the moment we are prevented from communicating and coordinating opposition.

I expect planned civil disorder will be the excuse to shut us down.

"Planned civil disorder?" You mean, as instigated by The Other Side ("TOS"), which does't want to see its own cushy status quo disturbed by dissent from the States and the People? Or do you mean a resort to arms by the citizenry, against their own government?

We are on a runaway train. Only the States and the People can stop it. But if we don't, the American political and cultural order that we know and love will dissolve into total disorder, and then chaos.

I believe that statement down to my bones. For me, the main corollary is: The absolutely best corrective of the current widespread, systemic public disorder is an Article V Convention of the States for the Purpose of Proposing Amendments to the U.S.Constitution. The main thrust of which would — hopefully — deal with the long-time problem of the aggrandizement of power by the federal government at the expense of the powers of the several sovereign States (i.e., the retained Tenth Amendment powers).

I hope and pray for an Article V COS, soonest. But I recognize that a whole lot of "I's" have to be dotted, and "T's" to be crossed, before we can get there.

Hopefully, this issue will get on the front burner of American consciousness — AFTER the 2016 presidential election.

Lois Lerner already accomplished that.
