    That’s not necessarily true. An article V convention can deal with a single issue such as amending the constitution to allow DC statehood for example. The rest of the constitution would not be impacted.

    Guilty! I admit that I paid no attention to local elections and that is where they beat us.

    Yes. I hear that on the radio shows, they often consider it a redo.

    It is the opportunity to alter and in no way has to mean a rewrite.

    What Conservatives MUST Do now

    What they must do now is what they should always do. It’s what they never should have stopped doing.


    That’s advocating and adhering to strict compliance with the principles of governing laid out in the US constitution.

    Supporting limited government and restrained spending and lower rates of taxation.

    They should advocate a credible national defense / security with less military footprint overseas.

    They should stand for individual liberties and promote individual success.

    They should call for ending the unconstitutional restrictions upon our civil liberties because of a virus which poses minimal to no risk to 99% of the population.

    Nope, our other option is the cartridge box.

    We have that right under the constitution.
    That is the whole purpose of the Second Amendment.

    I was not talking about Article V.
    I was talking about our right and mandate to change our government at bayonet point.
    We have that right.

    Or have we become a nation of bend over and take it types.
    If that is the case, then we deserve what we get.

    Support conservative politicians who run on an end the lockdowns platform.

    There's the very irrational fear I was talking about. It doesn't "open the Constitution completely" at all. Besides, the left is dismantling our Constitution piece by piece anyways. We have nothing to lose.

    Nikki haley has thrown the president under the bus as they say trying to dig into her deep state spot. Media still hates her guts and that won't change. Now the right hates her traitorous backstabbing guts too. Make her pay.
