Right. That was my post.

Please add Hoosiermama to the list.
No problem. I am in a very happy mood to hear about this!
or “how to destroy a Nation and hand it to the Libs”.
Fortunately for all of us, an Art V Convention is an utter impossibility.
Yep, utter impossibility.
That is why it was written into the Constitution of the United States of America by the founders.

I do think that the Libs would find a way to come out with what they want instead of individual freedoms. If libs jump on the band wagon, we’ll know the fix is in.
Please get up to speed on this.
It's called an 'Article V Convention' because it's written into the Constitution. It's a convention of the state legislatures for proposing amendments to the Constitution. By its very design, it can't be hijacked by the nation destroying left.
As a practical matter, the constitution is nearly gone. As a legal matter, which drives the Left nuts, it still exists.
Article V specifically empowers the people to do that which we could not do in 1775. Through this gift of the framers, we can avoid bloodshed, and peacefully correct our mistakes.
History will not look kindly on a people who gaff off their responsibility.
Red states have the numbers—but the window is closing. Once amnesty is passed, that will turn the red states blue—forever. Better to take a stand now Later, there will be NO chance.
Exactly.

Indeed, communists could not take America during the 20s because we marched the illegals out of Indiana back to Mexico. Legalizing aliens or muslims in a time of distress or war is absolute suicide since they still are serving their place of origin inherently by coming here in disrespectful manners that they would not dare attempt in their home countries. Let us not forget that illegals are also criminals and deserters of responsibilities in their country of origin.
