I cannot help but feeling that an Article V Convention will at least be a waste of time, at most a travesty.
Federalist 85: “We may safely rely on the disposition of the State legislatures to erect barriers against the encroachments of the national authority.”
Although I am a fan of Hamilton, his opinion was based on an educated populace that loved liberty. We do not have the same people nor the same government that he was advocating.
We are now a post-17th Amendment society awash in love of government manna, debt, adoration of a new messiah and constitutional ignorance, in sum may be the most ignorant generation in world history.
Remember the role and power of the national media. Obama won re-election despite the debt and failures. What does that tell you about today’s political machine?
For an Article V convention to be successful, dealing with the national media must be the first consideration.
My faith comes first. Christ before King and Country, as it were. The two are now at odds now, quite obviously.
The best way forward, it seems to me, is to divide the territory and other assets/debts and to form a new country that is overtly God-centered. One Amendment in our new Constitution should be that Muslims cannot be American citizens, nor can Atheists. In order to be an American citizen one must confess the existence of God and the fact of a final judgement. We don't have to require heavy creeds or anything. I have no problem with, say, Hindus or Buddhists etc. being good Americans, inasmuch as adherents of those faiths confess a Higher Being and eternal answerability for our actions on Earth.
But Muslims can't be Americans even though they confess to believe in God because they to the marrow of their being don't believe in freedom of religion. They also think that molesting little girls is okay, so long as you marry them.
Atheists can't be Americans because they don't believe in Nature's God. Self-proclaimed Marxists can't be Americans because they're Atheists, and also like Muslims reject freedom of conscience.
Liberals are Marxists (whether they know it or not) and it follows that they aren't Americans. And that's all told over half the voting population, probably significantly more of the non-voting population. We have to end this thing if we hope to survive intact as Christians.
This is my country. I want them out. I don't want them as countrymen, friends, family. I want to be shut of anybody and everybody who voted for Obama in 2012.
Forever and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
