In the end, only the truth matters, and I'm going to
continue to tell the truth as I understand it, no matter the resistance I
encounter. None of the conventional
methods and instrumentalities will be effective in saving the American people
from the tyranny that our founders feared.
That tyranny is here now. The old
methods have been used over and over and over again, while the situation just gets
worse by great orders of magnitude. And
if something effective isn't done soon to counter the powerful forces arrayed
against us, the country will devolve into a primordial stew of decadence, decline,
and irrelevancy. We're no longer at the
precipice; we've slipped over the edge of the cliff and are on the way down to
destruction and oblivion. However, even
at this late hour, we still have one chance to pull ourselves back, but we do
not have much time. There is only one
last card for constitutional conservatives left to play, and if we don't draw
it soon, our Constitution will unravel completely and all will be lost. This isn't exaggeration, disinformation, pessimism,
alarmism, negativity, deception or doomsaying - it's the God honest truth. There's no room in the conservative movement
for the weak-kneed; we're not a bunch of porcelain dolls who will simply shatter
when faced with the hard, cold truth. If
you can't handle the heat of the truth, then get the hell out of the kitchen. Sugarcoated fantasies have no place in this war
for the heart and soul of the nation.
Electing more Republicans is not the answer.
The Republican Party is not the party of conservatism. That's not to say that there are no conservatives
in the party, but rather that conservatives amount only to a small minority. Most of the GOP is made up of big government
technocrats who have been, and continue to be, complicit in the loss of our
liberties that comes with a massive expansion of federal power. This group remains in firm control of the
party, and instead of shielding the American people from the abuses of a
rapacious federal government, it willingly colludes with the Democrats to
obliterate what's left of our liberty.
The Republican establishment shares the same goals as the Democrats,
they just aim to achieve them at a slower pace.
That's why the establishment Republican's hearts are not in the fight
against Obama; they eventually want most of what he wants. The Walking Dead have just finished electing
overwhelming majorities of Republicans to both houses of Congress. Many who are concerned about Obama's unlawful
executive actions and his continued expansion of Mordor's power are rejoicing.
On the eve of the election I predicted that a Republican victory would
do nothing to halt Obama's dictatorial advance.
Was I correct? In a word, yes. Once again the Republican leadership has
rolled over for our half-a-commie president and handed the Democrats, who they
just crushed in the November election, everything that they wanted in the form
of a pork filled, waste laden Omnibus bill that will spend your money through
September of next year! Hear this- Republicans have just annihilated the Dems,
yet have allowed them to decide the budget for the next nine months! If that's not incomprehensible and idiotic
enough, the Republican leadership has unilaterally disarmed Congress by
relinquishing its constitutional power of the purse, allowing Obama to
illegally legalize millions of illegals.
Name one aspect of Obama's agenda that has been curtailed by the
election of Republican majorities in Congress.
You cannot name one. Remember, over
the course of the past 25 years we have had some periods of Republican
majorities in Congress, as we have had Republican presidents. Where has it gotten us? The government now spends more, taxes more, regulates
more, and is in more debt than it has ever been in our history, and Mordor is
becoming more and more powerful, regulating and micro managing every single
aspect of our lives. Yes, I would rather
have a wishy-washy Republican in office rather than some outright socialist
Democrat, but in the end the difference is negligible. Let me finish this point with the following analogy:
a Democrat Party victory is like the nation getting a pancreatic cancer
diagnosis; a Republican Party victory is like the nation getting a colon cancer
diagnosis. They're both cancer; one is
just more treatable. How sad that our
elected officials are so contemptuous of our constitutionally granted liberties
that they can accurately be compared to a cancer.
How An Article V Convention Would Work
Our Constitution provides two methods for
amendment. In the 227 years that document
has been in effect, one of those methods has never been used. It was purposefully conceived by the Founders
so that the states and the people would have a peaceful means of recourse in
the event that the federal government became oppressive. Embedded in Article V, this provision allows
for the state legislatures to call for a convention of the states to discuss
and propose amendments to the Constitution.
In the event that two-thirds of the state convention delegates agree to
the proposed amendment(s), then the 50 state legislatures would vote them up or
down; if three-fourths agree, the amendment(s) are automatically ratified as
part of the Constitution. It's important
to note that the federal government, (the president, Congress, and the courts)
are shut out of this process and can only observe as it unfolds; they are not in
any way legally empowered to intervene.
With a lawless president in office, the federal government carrying out unconstitutional
acts on a daily basis, and a majority of state legislatures in the hands of
Republicans, the time for an Article V convention is now! An organization called The Convention Of The States Project is laboring hard to start the
process by providing legal informational council to state legislators who're
committed to the process. Legislatures
in several states have formed exploratory committees to get the ball rolling. I know that some feel that this process is
too much of a long shot, that it could be co-opted by leftists, that it's too
risky. My answer to those fears is that
this is the only option open to us, short of unconstitutional actions and open,
armed rebellion. Since the alternative
is a massive bloodbath, I chose the Article V convention process. Put simply, we cannot save our Constitution by
violating it.
Thanks to the great Mark Levin, who taught me most of what I know about this subject, I hope I haven't misrepresented his wisdom.
