I already do express my desire for Article V. I think it’s the only way left at this point in time.
My point is that while today’s Congressman may have come from humble beginnings, those who created our Republic had it far, far harder. They faced real consequences — not the least of which was loss of their very lives — and it didn’t faze them. I simply do not buy the argument that places today’s politicians on anything like the same plane.
Article V. Okay.
I never equated today’s pols with our framers. I do equate them with our fellow Americans. They are as human as we are and subject to the same temptations.
It is silly to expect them to conduct themselves as saints on earth.
