It’ll be more V shaped than “tile horizontal”

Let the Revolution start. King Obama would wet his pants. The cry baby would get on TV at least 3 or 4 times daily singing the blues.

Someone is always leading the world. Some good, some evil, some free, some seeking to enslave.

Indeed. Power abhors a vacuum.

Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.

Hey Barack HUSSEIN Obama, I went to Harvard too! That was the worst fieldtrip of my life, but I went there...

Fantastic article! I pray it continues, and is successful. States? Follow through.

He’s about to crap himself daily as it is... The states launching a con-con to shut him down would be a pure pleasure to watch!

If 34 states do pass this and call for a Constitutional Convention, watch for the fed to say it was improperly done, therefor invalid, and back it up with the USSC, who would see the vote as an usurpation to its authority.
Anyone actually performing a Convention will be accused of sedition and arrests would be attempted to quell the "rebellion".

Be prepared, folks. I still say the best way is to get the libs to want to secede from us. Then it can be accomplished amicably (we will win!), except for the politicians, who will fume along the sideline because they are not consulted or see their power slipping away (YAY!).

The new Mason/Dixon line will probably be the line separating DC from the other states.

Nobody can run as fast backwards as we can run forward... It’s time for real leaders to lead. Push has come to shove.

F the USSC. 5 of 4 have already proven themselves traitors. I’ll trust in the USMC....

Nowadays you'd have to hold such a convention in Canada.

Here’s an idea...

What would happen if on April 15th this year, we filed our federal tax returns but made our checks out to our individual states and told the fed to go see them for their money?

Do they have the courage to follow through?

No, they don't. All but one of the state sovereignty thingys are lukewarm, tentative, meaningless resolutions.

I totally disagree....

All movements have to start somewhere. Whether they meant to or not, the states that have proposed these resolutions have opened pandora’s box...

If the people of these states get behind them, they will pass. And if the people then get behind their state governments and force them to grow the peaches to do the right thing, they will do the right thing.

I am SO fed up with right-wing wimps who want a fight but claim they have lost before the bell rings for round one, that I could just puke...

Where are the real men in this country? You ready to go down without even a good fight? Aren't you sick and tired of offering up your silent consent?
