The answer to your question is quite clear and it has been expressed many times on FreeRepublic:

Article V proponents contemplate process amendments which are very very difficult to evade. For example, term limits, provisions that bureaucratic rulings not ratified by Congress are automatically voided, provisions for a combination of states to overrule Supreme Court rulings. These are but examples of process amendments which entirely change the balance of power and are very difficult to evade.

I might remind you that our Constitution of 1787 lasted until 1861, about 80 years and the post-Civil War Constitution operated effectively until the progressive era. There is every reason to believe that Article V reforms will have a long and effective life.

Or, we can continue to do what we are doing as the country cruises toward the cliff secure in the knowledge that we have not wasted any time in attempts to save our children's birthright.

We're airborne.
We fell off the cliff this morning.

For example, term limits

If you are in favor of term limits, you must also be ecstatic and supportive of "campaign finance limits" too, right? Both stifle free speech. Who the hell are you to suggest that you have some right to limit my ability to vote for my Reps??? If I want to vote for a specific candidate over and over again, I have the freedom to speak my mind by voting for that candidate. Just because you don't like the outcome when the majority votes opposite of you doesn't give you any right to come in, change the rules and restrict my freedom of speech.

This also leads me to believe you must think that Dinesh D'souza was entirely in the wrong and should be prosecuted to the fullest, right?

We have to work on an Article V convention for posterity, for the generations unborn. The Federal leviathan is escalating as we write. For the love of God, people are actually going to hear Bernie Sanders speak. Article V now, before it's too late!
