Whom do you trust, in our current crop of power-grabbers, to attend and write an Article V Constitution? I don’t trust any of them. States will send their worst party bottom-feeders as delegates, I guarantee it. The party hacks will have a field day.
Meanwhile, did you know George Soros is also pushing for an Article V?
I don’t like the idea of an Article V in this environment. I am confident there will be many good folks along to gently explain to me why I’m wrong, and I’m willing to listen.

Thanks! We need to remember, be reminded often, that even though things don’t look great, or necessarily in our favor, to keep on fighting the good fight. It is not just for us, but for the generations that follow, that we must lay down our own form of sacrifice for the better good. We will then stand before God with a clear conscience. Some seem to forget that this life is not he one that counts, but that the things DONE in this life have consequences into the next. For good or for bad.
BTTT your most excellent piece!
Excellent commentary!
An all powerful central government that enforces law arbitrarily is not much different than anarchy.
Great post!! Thanks, Jacquerie.
We need an Article V state amendment convention to reestablish first principles so badly my old bones dream about it every night. The Feds needs to be cut back and the States need to be stepped up to the front seats. Let the people decide what rules and laws they want in their own states.
The United Nations was put together for the express purpose of the New World Order plan. The United Nations Agenda 21 is part of that plan and it has taken hold in every local government that I know of. The most disheartening part is most people have no idea it is happening right under their noses.
How do we awaken the general populace?
Good post. The federal government is lawless and accountable only unto itself.
Article V is worth trying; it is constitutional and it MIGHT work.
But then again it might not work, and I would accept that it probably won’t work.
So then, what are the alternatives?
Conservatives/libertarians could leave the country en masse and colonize and found a new society? Our forefathers did this. Is this still possible?
Is secession a possibility? People are staring to regionally sort themselves out on an ideological basis. NH has a freedom movement encouraging those that believe in smaller government to relocate there. Should we look to parts of the American NW? Can we convince governors and state politicians to adopt this course of action?
When the tyranny hits, and it will hit hard if we fail, will we develop secret societies and safe-houses? Will we have the courage to resist?
Step 1 - Convention of the states.
Step 2 - Impeach Obama.
Step 3 - Indict and try Obama.
Step 4 - Imprison Obama for life.
A century of government schooling and pro-socialist media propaganda have blinded us to the first cause of government - securing our rights.
Awesome post, Jac. You’re correct that we’ve reached a point where something drastic has to be done to rein in the federal leviathan, and that an Article V convention could go a long way to accomplishing that (in the main).
Personally, I’m a bit further down the road from there. I’ve lost faith that we can get to where we really need to be through our established constitutional system of government. I think we’ve reached a point where words on paper have little impact on the beast.
There are times when I look at this country, politically and culturally, and I just want to say “What the hell, why keep fighting a losing cause?” It can get depressing beyond belief. That is exactly what the left wants us to think, how they want us to feel, beaten down. It is how the left works, with abortion, global warming, the 2nd Amendment, free speech, sexual perversion, Christianity, and so on. Evil never stops, never tires, and never thinks it is a losing cause, and evil is exactly what we are fighting against.
We have our tools and weapons, powerful arsenals we shouldn’t forget, Christ, our churches, our families, our morals, and principles. These can’t be beaten to submission. It may not look like it, and it may not work the way we want it to, but we still have a divided federal government, and it is up to us to push it as hard as we can to fight tyranny. We still have our states, and whenever possible, states must be made to push back against the federal tyranny.
We must use what we have to fight a strategic war, focusing on the far future, as well as on the brief political successes we can muster up. If we are going to retake what is ours, get back the lost ground, we have to dig in for the long fight, and then we have to fight it. There is no winning the political war without regaining the cultural high ground, our educational systems, our universities, our media, churches and institutions. If we can’t reach the hearts and minds of people, we can’t win, but it isn’t something that can happen overnight, through one election, or a dozen elections. Keep the faith, and recognize the full spectrum of the war.
