Any nation that could elect Barack Obama as POTUS is not a nation that is prepared to hold a convention designed to alter the Constitution. This is not the late 18th century when Americans were deeply involved in government activity and knew and lived by what the Constitution actually said. Sorry to tell you that but it's true.

In addition I disagree with this statement: "I agree with many that have come to the conclusion that this is our last chance to save the Republic prior to violent revolution." Our last best hope is something along the lines of Third Great Awakening which would cause a morally regenerated people to seriously reconsider what they have been allowing the government to do. Do I think this possible? Well, yes, because with God all things are possible but I fear, as with the Israelites, it will take a catastrophe, probably economic, to force the American people to their knees. And even then they might be kneeling instead to a "savior' who resembles Obama.

I wish the Article V the very best but given today's political climate consider the movement an impossible dream and quite possibly a dangerous one.

This conversation went pretty deep between CL and FWP, deeper than I had the time to follow word for word, I confess. But one thing that occurs to me along the line of what Cincy is cautioning here, is that we're not the only ones capable of tweaking things. If we start down this road it could well turn out just like what happened to A-hole Reid, who initiated his "nuclear option" only to have it turn against him and disenfranchise his side, within one election. What's to prevent the Libs from wreaking their damage next? I fear the answer is "nothing."

So are we trying to beat them to the punch or what? because this seems like a slippery slope situation.
