Lieberman: U.S. Headed Toward Another ‘Cold War’
Breitbart ^ | 09/17/2021 | Trent Baker

Former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), the 2000 Democratic Party vice presidential nominee, during the Friday Fox Business Network broadcast of “Mornings with Maria,” warned that the United States is headed toward another “Cold War.”

Lieberman, who was responding to the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to take over the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, called on the United States to “remain strong” militarily and economically to combat the Asian superpower’s increasing provocation.

I predict a hot war in under 5 to 10 years.

I'm not a fan of change for change sake. Especially if we don't know what we want to change.

I can only think of a couple of things that a convention might help with. But it's very doubtful that they would.

If our elected Congressmen aren't acting on our behalf, what makes us think, that a bunch of State appointees are going to do a better job. Or. that any of the current mob would do better than our Founding Fathers.

The things that need to change:

But Congress not a convention is the right place to address most of this.

We are already in a cold war with the Democrat Communist Party. Just because it isn’t “official” doesn’t make it any less real.

The “DCP” is doing everything it can to destroy America to rebuild it with them in total control and by their rules which means no more US Constitution or Bill of Rights.

China’s dictator, Xi, has been teaching them well but bad for true freedom loving Americans.

I think another cold civil war is more like it.

Lieberman is who Biden modeled his new face after.

No. The Founders knew power would tend to centralize in DC. The whole point of a Convention of States is to move power away from the center.

I would have given anything to see the look on his face the first time he saw that.

Also the look on Tipper’s face when she hear about him being a “crazed sex poodle’

If you want to decentralize power, you need to restore the 10th. And do away with matching funds, which is the main vehicle that the Feds use to bypass the 10th.

The current 10th is specific about powers Congress has and everthing else is left to the states. At this point, you would probably need add specificity that certain powers currently usurpted by the Feds are included in those powers reserved by the states.

But THAT would take a serious plan. You’d need to identify all the Federal programs that are affected and have a proactive plan to either decentralize them to the states or an amendment to exempt them from the 10th.

I doubt very much that state delegates would have much stomach for that. ESPECIALLY without a plan.

Calling a constitutional convention without a specific plan for change is a desperate Hail Mary play. It’s a blind hope that state appointed delegates would be any less stupid than our elected congress criters. And without enumerating the reasons why Congress is incapable of making those changes, then it’s likely just going to revert back, as our citizens keep electing idiots.

It’s a Hail Mary that would most likely result in an interception and a touchdown for the opposing team.

I could dream up plans all day. It's not going to care what either of us come up with.
