Notice how Article V naysayers react like Pavlov’s dogs to titles and never address the substance of the articles?
Sad.
The problem with this carp is that the Administrative State is not following the existing Constitution. Why would changing it make any difference?
“Just a piece of paper written by a bunch of dead white slaveholders”
The Second is really probably the only thing that doesn’t worry me.
Unlike most others, Second Amendment people are actually active during non-election years. They get it and they can be trusted. They have earned being trusted. So elected republicans, even from the establishment do as they are told and they actively protect 2A.
It’s the non-2010 attitude that people have that makes this untenable. When the country was lit up by Tea Party Protests, Article V was a safe choice, now, not so much.
There is too much apathy among conservative voters right now. We cannot fix the GOP until we fix the voters who are too busy watching the woke NFL to mount a greater campaign against the old guard. So the circle continues.
The comparison goes like this. If there was an announcement that they were actually going to abolish 2A, I think it would be real easy to get nationwide protests going and it would be 2009 all over again. It would be beautiful, it would be what we desperately need. But if the government said they were going to nationalize healthcare like they tried to do in 2009, I just don’t think people could be bothered with it.
The people would sit back and let it happen.
The point is, we need to be realist.
No realist would back an Article V situation when we have LOST the people, and I mean our own people. We have LOST our own people.
You are 100% right, frogjerk. I don't even have to wait in order to say there has not been a single one greater than George Washington. Far as I see it, the nation has been in a downward spiral since the day Washington retired from public life. The downward direction was slow at first, but it picked up speed with the Civil War and it is about to crash completely in our time.
I really don't know how we compare morally to the founders, but I like to think that the constitution of the United States was a document who's creation was inspired by God.. God often uses folks who's background is far less then perfect, and we sure got a whole bunch of dudes nowadays that match THAT description to a "Tee"..
So, let's hope for the best, that is to say, with a little help from God we can give it our best shot to repair our Constitution and put DC back where it belongs..
I am with you. We NEED to begin the process of fixing what is not working. The only way to do that is to involve We the People outside of of official DC, and the parties.
You have a supporter in me, keep up the work.
We are doing “VERY WELL”?
How can we get the Dog Democrats in the States on a leash? Show them that THEY can get their money from the citizens of the State, cutting out the Federal Government. If my current State of WA is addicted to the Federal milk from the process of Income taxes, and Senators controlled from outsiders not within the State, can’t see the advantage of changing elections of Senators, and Income tax, then they are stupid. They are NOT stupid. They are self serving, not idiots.
It is either this, or have an actual CW II. THAT is the Republican sides hammer, along with getting ride of direct election of Senators, and Income tax. EASY sells.
