A clear understanding of Article V informs us that the purpose of a constitutional convention is to <I>propose</I> amendments. There are only two very specific limitations on the procedure, and the practical upshot is that once the convention is convened, all bets are off. If someone proposed an amendment to shave your heads and feed you goat-shit, it would go to a ratification vote.<BR/><BR/>I think a convention would be an extremely dangerous move in a culture where almost nobody understands the constitution at all anymore. They would vote you straight to hell.<BR/><BR/>Whether that's a bug or a feature is an open question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-75438491388275437142008-12-13T04:01:00.000+00:002008-12-13T04:01:00.000+00:00Couple spare "twists of the knife" with those prag...Couple spare "twists of the knife" with those prags, I'm done.

Of course the next checkpoints will generally pass people with clean records, just like the current immigration/citizenship and "drinking" road checkpoints, and the TSA. There will not be an implanted RFID chip. They are not going to hand you a clear crossing of a popular line in the sand, because they are smarter than that.<BR/><BR/>What they are going to do is simply raise taxes and let you bleed out. Like the residents of Zimbabwe, you will comply all the way down until you're too close to starvation to recover, because in the short term it seems like a good strategy. Heads you comply with the red tape and lose money, tails you go to prison for not complying with the red tape.<BR/><BR/>Look at the formerly middle-class people who were evicted from their homes for not paying the mortgage. Instead of insisting on being allowed to live in the city in travel trailers and other cheaper structures, they are now willing to live in tent cities?? Is a sanitation-based epidemic that decimates them far behind? That's going to be you, because you don't have enough lines in the sand. You'll build your own concentration camp, and feel obligated to live in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-79170038466754983592008-12-12T13:32:00.000+00:002008-12-12T13:32:00.000+00:00Excellent.

According to the news today, only 2 more states are needed and there <B>will</B> be a Con-Con. Last one we had was in 1787 with the goal of amending the Articles of Confederation. They were thrown out and our current Constituion was written. If this occurs, every single governmental limitation, gaurantee, and separation of power is on the table and can be basically thrown out and rewritten the way the delegates want it to be done.<BR/><BR/>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=83364Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-87985143980309046862008-12-12T04:48:00.000+00:002008-12-12T04:48:00.000+00:00So... we have the other folks surrounded from the ...So... we have the other folks surrounded from the inside.
