We’ve taken some big hits recently. It appears our “leaders” in Washington, DC have all surrendered to the godless liberal/progressives and have decided to turn our society inside out and upside down. Congress running interference for Obama was bad enough, now we have the Supreme Court trampling on the constitution as well.
When all three branches ignore the constitution we have a serious problem. The wimps in congress have proven over and over that they don’t have the will to fight and it’s now painfully obvious that the supremes are not willing to do their constitutional duty either.
Government has failed us. The congress is toothless. The courts have failed us. Election mandates are ignored.
So now what?
Well, luckily for us, the Founders foresaw this problem and gave we the people a constitutional tool to fight back. We the people through our sovereign state governments can elect to send delegates to an Article V convention to propose amendments to the constitution.
Also, luckily for us, as of the last election the Republicans control something like two-thirds of our state governments, so if we’re ever to succeed at something like this, now is the time to strike.
Article V is the constitutional reset button provided to we the people by our Founding Fathers. If you are not familiar with Article V, please read up about it on conventionofstates.com. This is not a scary constitutional convention to rewrite the entire constitution. It would be an effort led by the states to rein-in the runaway federal government and to reclaim and restore sovereign rights and powers to the states and the people. Definitely worth a try and definitely better than the final alternative.
Please take this seriously and read up on Article V at conventionofstates.com.
In the meantime, we need your continuing support to keep FR on the air.

Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the number one pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense conservative forum on the Net!!
And we’re going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists and progressives who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given liberty!!

"Of all the many talks I had in Washington, none gave me such pleasure as that with you. There were two reasons for this. In the first place, you are about my oldest friend. In the second place, your self-assurance and to me, at least, demonstrated ability, give me a great feeling of confidence about the future
… and I have the utmost confidence that through your efforts we will eventually beat the hell out of those bastards —
You name them; I'll shoot them!"General George S. Patton
Letter to Dwight D. Eisenhower (1942)

We need to have decisive leaders. And those who can name the enemy as they are...then those who will gladly due their duty!
Agreed!

"In North America, the American lobster did not achieve popularity until the mid-19th century, when New Yorkers and Bostonians developed a taste for it, and commercial lobster fisheries only flourished after the development of the lobster smack, a custom-made boat with open holding wells on the deck to keep the lobsters alive during transport.
Prior to this time, lobster was considered a mark of poverty or as a food for indentured servants or lower members of society in Maine, Massachusetts, and the Canadian Maritimes, and servants specified in employment agreements that they would not eat lobster more than twice per week.
Lobster was also commonly served in prisons, much to the displeasure of inmates.American lobster was initially deemed worthy only of being used as fertilizer or fish bait, and it was not until well into the twentieth century that it was viewed as more than a low-priced canned staple food."source: Wikipedia

Like small children everywhere...The elitists read a word...assume they understand its meaning and it’s appropriate uses...and fling it around as though it were some sort of sacrosanct Cultic Amulet.!!

"On U.S. military uniforms, flag patches are worn on the right shoulder, following the vehicle convention with the union toward the front. This rule dates back to the Army's early history, when both mounted cavalry and infantry units would designate a standard bearer, who carried the Colors into battle.
As he charged, his forward motion caused the flag to stream back. Since the Stars and Stripes are mounted with the canton closest to the pole, that section stayed to the right, while the stripes flew to the left."source: Wikipedia

Lovely!
"The flag is customarily flown all year-round at most public buildings, and it is not unusual to find private houses flying full-size flags.
Some private use is year-round, but becomes widespread on civic holidays like Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Presidents' Day, Flag Day, and on Independence Day.
On Memorial Day it is common to place small flags by war memorials and next to the graves of U.S. war veterans. Also on Memorial Day it is common to fly the flag at half staff, until noon, in remembrance of those who lost their lives fighting in U.S. wars."source: Wikipedia
