'Suicide bomber' strikes at Manchester Arena: Nineteen people are killed and 50 injured in terrorist attack as 'nail bomb near the exit' explodes, ripping into teens leaving packed Ariana Grande gig

imited war leads only to unlimited deaths, never total victory and lasting peace. It is the clearest sign of weakness we could ever show islam's fanatical followers who keep slaughtering our children, women and men. Are we afraid we might make them even more dangerous and evil by actually winning the war they started?

Hard to fathom now, but our Nation once had a president — a Democrat no less — who truly understood what it takes to defeat these forces of uncompromising evil.

Just a month after emperor-god-worshiping fanatics cowardly attacked us at Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed a "total war effort against our common enemies is being achieved." We would always strike the enemy "wherever the greatest damage can be done him." That enemy, in his quest to enforce a murderous, backward religion all over the world, started the war. "But the massed, angered forces of common humanity will finish it."

There would be no compromise in this "conflict that day and night now pervades our lives." Our president concluded, "No compromise can end that conflict. There never has been — there never can be — successful compromise between good and evil. Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance, and decency, and freedom, and faith."

Thank our Lord the leader of the free world then was neither a President "Failed Legacy" Puddytat nor a Crooked Hilliary! Indeed, he had the fearlessness of a Donald J. Trump.

Today, another cancer of fanaticism is ravaging our world. It, too, is hellbent on destroying all our lives, liberties and pursuits of happiness. The muslim world, which spawned that cancer, continuously proves both unwilling and unable to stop its spread, much less remove all traces of it within its midst. So our world has no choice but to achieve again the same total war effort and be once more the massed, angered forces of common humanity which will finish it.

oon tomorrow in Washington, D.C., our nation's 45th president will be repeating these words—

He will follow them with his own, conjuring the dreams and hopes shared by millions for our future.

For today, yes we can reflect on what in the course of human events contributed most to impelling that singularly momentous one. Just as the mindless totalitarianism of King George III and President Jimmy Carter each required — nay, outright screamed for — a mighty revolution to counteract and repair the untold damage it wreaked throughout our land, it became our right and our duty to start another to undo all the havoc and destruction which Presentyrant Baracrook Hussein Ødespot's long train of abuses and usurpations has been causing.

And, boy, what a start this revolution has had: No less than 1,030 legislative and executive seats lost by Democrats Demøfascists during Øbraindead's alleged "presidency"! His extremist accomplices now face real opposition from God-fearing, freedom-loving, true-American patriots in all but five coastal states. Their cruel dictatorships are in tatters and crumbling. All thanks, most assuredly, to their fanatical Der Fübar.

Good riddance, decrepit and unbalanced Democrooks' brutal grips on power.

Welcome back, government of the people, by the people, for the people.

ust two steps to help make America great again:

1. California and Nevada become one state called "Nevada." Under the third section of Article IV, a state may be formed by the junction of two or more states with the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.

2. The now huge Nevada sells all its former-California counties to Mexico. Section 10 of Article I allows states to enter into any agreement with a foreign power with the consent of Congress. Alternatively, huge Nevada cedes all those counties to the United States; then Congress exercises its power under Article IV, Section 3, to dispose of that national territory by selling it to Mexico.

awyer Marco Rubio suspended his presidential campaign after losing, 46 to 27 percent, in his home state's Republican primary. In North Carolina and Illinois, Mr. Trump also beat Lawyer Ted Cruz, 41 to 37 percent and 40 to 29 percent, respectively; and in Missouri the two are nearly tied, 42 to 41 percent, with half of the precincts reporting. Lifelong-Politician John Kasich won 45 percent of his home state's votes, with two-thirds reporting.

didn't think I would ever be able to vote for Adolf Hitler. After all, he's been deceased (or hiding out in Argentina) for over seventy years. It'd be another matter had he been listed on the Demofascist primary ballot. Dead candidates, like dead voters, always are somehow counted by that party. No, the vote I cast for this natural born citizen (of Austria) was tallied in a Republican Party primary.

Apparently he's running under an alias. At least that's what some of the more desperate Establishment hoohas are telling me. I can understand that, given his record of unfathomable genocide and interminable warring against all non-Axis nations. It still doesn't explain, however, why a 127-year-old would dye his hair and figure that's the only change he needs to make to convince millions upon millions of Americans — yours truly, included — that we aren't, you know, voting for Adolf Hitler.

Now, most Demofascists would say I've already voted for him — twice. Once in 2000, and again in 2004. Back then it was easier for them to say that, because all they had to do was add itler to his last name. Something only a Demofascist, or semibright four-year-old, could think of doing. What's different is, this presidential election, they're being joined in their surly childishness by the losers who claim to be on our side.

Isn't it helpful when those Establishmentardians and Demofascists start agreeing with each other? Like they have on unfettered illegal immigration and government spending? That's being on our side.

Who would be surprised if they try next month to rig their convention rules so yes they can get their fellow losers considered for nomination too? Certainly not any of us "uncivil" and "unhelpful" "Hobbits" and "Visigoths" whom they want to "crush everywhere."

Retaining their Establishment Privilege™ is, to them, far more important than restoring our country's greatness. So who, again, is behaving more like Hitler?

They'll keep dreaming up such ridiculous stuff. That is, till voters' voices wake them, and they drown.

ou're the forgotten, the swept-aside, the ignored. You're the ones your own government leaves out when it paints its nice, neat rosy economic landscapes. You don't make the media's favorite political party look good, so they won't even bother looking at you as long as its politicians are in control of the White House. It's now all just about how many praises they can gush out for their most-favored national party. Oh, they might mention you in passing — call you each a "discouraged worker" and move on. But that's it. That's because, to it and them, you don't count.

But I'll count you! I won't forget you. I won't sweep you aside. I won't ignore you!

I'll count you in every time my administration looks at the economy. I won't ever leave you out. Unlike the failure Øbama and his failed administration, I and my administration won't ever put out or tout phony unemployment figures that do. Like you, I've never been fooled by his lying, half-truth figures. To him and his licking lapdog media, you aren't important enough to include in those figures. But I'll include you in them! Not only that, I'll include you in everything my administration does so, yes, we can work together to actually improve our economy and help you find full-time, good-paying jobs for a change.

You're much too important to leave out of anything your government does. Ninety-four million American workers will always count in my book and in every book, budget, or press release I and all your other servants in my administration publish.

That's the only figure that will ever count. You and I will measure my successes not by how low the phony unemployment figures are, but by how many of you have re-entered America's workforce and are participating again in her strong and ever-growing economy.

I'll always count you. So I'm counting on you and your votes to help us all take back the White House for those who should always count the most: you!

Thank you. Thank you, God, for blessing us and for blessing our nation under You.

very God-fearing, America-loving citizen who happens to be a public servant has both the right and the patriotic duty to ensure his entrusted powers are never exercised in any way that would cause the government we instituted, either for our state or more locally, to act in direct violation of our common morality and personal consciences, whether based on religious convictions or not. No power so exercisable can ever be just, because no such power can ever be or has ever been derived from the consent of the governed.

In a sovereign state where the people have determined among themselves the provisions of natural marriage most societally proper and meaningful for them, under our present Constitution no one else has power to alter or abolish any of those provisions. They know they are not being hateful but factual when they declare that promoting genealogical dead-ends is not nor could ever be in their or their society's best interests. Any public servant who assists some outside attempt to promote such is betraying their sacred trust. Indeed, the oath of office every public servant in this country takes to support our Constitution, so help him God, means his only legitimate response is to use all his powers to effectually render void and a nullity any and all such attempts. As former Congressman John Hostettler points out:

In explaining the supportive role that the states would play in the proper operation of the federal government, Alexander Hamilton put it this way in Federalist Paper No. 27:

"the legislatures, courts and magistrates of the respective members [i.e., states] will be incorporated into the operations of the national government, AS FAR AS ITS JUST AND CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY EXTENDS; and will be rendered auxiliary to the enforcement of its laws." [Capitalization original.]

Thus, properly understood, preemption only applies to the "JUST and CONSTITUTIONAL authority" of the federal government. Given that (i) the law of domestic relations and marriage policy has never been made the "JUST and CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY" of the federal government (except for the District of Columbia and federal territories) and (ii) the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applies only to a limited set of protections in state-administered legal processes, there is no "lawful" basis for a claim of preemption in this case.

The duty to disregard any federal judicial usurpation of the states' lawful jurisdiction of marriage policy flows from another constitutional clause which invokes a duty to an even higher authority than any temporal legal system, federal or state. Immediately following the Supremacy Clause, Article VI of the Constitution provides that "the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers... of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this constitution." Known as the "Oath or Affirmation Clause," this provision requires every state official to swear or affirm their fidelity to the U.S. Constitution. In explaining the profound relationship between the Supremacy and the Oath or Affirmation Clauses, Alexander Hamilton highlighted the limited application of both. Once again in Federalist Paper No. 27, Hamilton remarked:

"the laws of the Confederacy, as to the ENUMERATED and LEGITIMATE objects of its jurisdiction, will become the SUPREME LAW of the land; to the observance of which, all officers legislative, executive and judicial in each State, will be bound by the sanctity of an oath." [Capitalization original.]

It's clear that state officials are "bound by the sanctity of an oath" to observe "the laws of the Confederacy." However, that oath is limited in its application to the "ENUMERATED and LEGITIMATE objects of" the Confederacy's jurisdiction. The power to overrule the states' restrictions on marriage policy has never been added to the "ENUMERATED and LEGITIMATE objects of" the jurisdiction of the United States. Therefore, without the future addition of such authority through the process set out in Article V for amending the federal Constitution, no order pursuant to any such opinion is "lawful."

Finally, it cannot be overemphasized at this juncture that no provision of the U.S. Constitution elevates an opinion issued by the federal judiciary — including an opinion issued by the U.S. Supreme Court — to the level of the "supreme law of the land." Indeed, there is only one time that I have ever heard that the U.S. Supreme Court was so consumed with pride to have even uttered such a radical principle. See Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1, 18 (1958) ("[T]hat the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment enunciated by this Court in the Brown case is the supreme law of the land, and Art. VI of the Constitution makes it of binding effect on the States 'any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.'").

This aberrational statement of the Supreme Court should be viewed as a very lonely exception to the view of Blackstone as embraced generally by our Framers that "the law and the opinion of the judge, are not always convertible terms, or one and the same thing; since it sometimes may happen that the judge may mistake the law." I.W. Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 71 (Univ. Chi. facsimile ed. 1765).

Additionally, no provision of the U.S. Constitution obligates any elected official — federal or state — to "be bound by oath or affirmation, to support" an opinion issued by the federal judiciary.

If it had been the intention of the Constitution's framers to exclusively delegate all questions of Constitutional finality to the unelected, life-tenured members of the U.S. Supreme Court — and to relegate every other elected office, federal and state, to a position of subservience to the decisions of that Court, Article VI of the United States Constitution would have been the place in the U.S. Constitution where this peculiar doctrine would have been made obvious. From its omission, it is clear that this was never the Framers' intent.

Therefore, state officeholders remain bound by the sanctity of the oath they took which binds them to uphold their respective state constitutions and the laws which define and regulate marriage in their particular member of the Confederacy. They cannot be considered "good soldiers" by doing anything else.

he parasites on our land have no energy for anything other than sucking, both literally and figuratively. They wait and look for somebody else to sustain their so-called lives. Whether that body be yours or the not-so-honorable office holder's greedily making yours a source of their sustenance, it's all the same to them. The latter provides them HOSTizens to suck dry in exchange for the privilege of being able to provide them more and more such sources. You provide them the necessary veins until, once your own life's blood is completely drained and you're left no other choice, you have to start sucking too. Eventually, yes, only the office holders can be the winners. But since at that point there remains no body for the parasites to hang onto, everybody winds up a loser.

The above has become the story of America. The reason it has is that for too long we the so-called citizens have been letting ourselves and others rewrite it that way. The Founding Fathers drafted and, as Framers, composed the original — a timeless classic that keeps proving to be the best possible story for us. Whenever our forebears lived that story, this became a land full of constructive energy and progress. Whenever they didn't, it quickly devolved into one mired in misery.

Free and independent states aren't built by parasites, only brought down by them. The hard work of paying attention and flicking the parasites off whenever their ravenous sucking jaws try to latch on is the only chance our land has of staying free and independent. True citizens are, yes, the only ones who can make that happen. Indeed, they innately have the upper hand, especially in this year's mid-term congressional elections.

The office holders parasite wranglers, on the other hand, know it's an uphill battle to prod their charges into stop being SIT-ON-YOUR-ASSitens long enough to agree to be dragged into a polling booth and cast a ballot for somebody they never heard of or cared hearing about before. After all, there's no more "Barack-the-vote" to readily zombify the parasites into becoming one mindless, lockstep-marching horde.

No one can deny there's a general, pent-up disgust with how the rewritten story is playing out and with its self-appointed editors who keep insanely red-penning us all into an increasingly unavoidable corner. What kind of ending has the parasites winding up on top, literally crawling out from the desiccated corpses that left them stuffed, but now are no long able to feed them? It would be the end, all right, where no one lives happily ever after or even, for that matter, lives. Needless to say, America — the last, best, most shining hope of mankind — will be gone too. Good thing, because who would want to try living in the bleak and inhospitable world that must remain?

The fundamental question is whether that pent-up disgust bursts before Tuesday, November 4, and leaves the parasites and their prodders scrambling for the safest shadows they can find in its wake. It will decide nothing less than who reclaims or retains full control of the story and all of its content.

So, yes, we can believe either that we're all doomed or that true citizens turning out in droves and voting this and every November is going to help completely remove the present massive infestation as well as forever repel the parasites and stop them from infesting our land so again.

May God once more heal and bless our country.

urrendering to liberogressives the total redistribution of wealth they desire, without gaining any concessions from them in return, would be worse than selling our free-market souls to the devil. At least the tragic Dr. Faustus had something tangible, albeit temporary, to show for his diurnalish pact with Mephistopheles. No, our bargain entails only a sip of redistributional hell for the eternal bliss of no more income taxes.

The fair tax's prebate feature already gives us a drop of that hell by refunding in advance the amount of national retail sales tax families will be paying respectively each month on their purchases of basic needs: The larger the family, the larger the prebate. However, public assistance programs still would be required for impoverished families.

But by taking the full sip, our bargain eliminates those separate entitlements along with all their attendant agencies, not only making government less bloated but freeing lower-income families from their servile dependence on that political class most committed to doling out other people's money. Instead of tax prebates, the fair tax would incorporate payments equivalent to all purchases of essential goods and services by America's families plus the national retail sales tax on them. Each household, regardless its income, receives this necessities allowance based on how many valid Social Security cardholders reside there.

This is our side of the bargain. In exchange, the servants of redistribution give us a land totally purged of all other federal taxes, whether on incomes, gifts, capital gains, or estates, as well as Social Security withholdings.

Finally, by forfeiting a tiny bit more of our souls, we may increase the allowance to include purchase of basic health care plans, thus ridding our land of every Øfascist"Care" malignancy too. Moreover, since every American's basic purchases are compensated, there would be no need to continue separately feeding the Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid bureaucracies. We'll eliminate those middlemonsters also, and pass the savings on to you, the American people.

There are, nevertheless, several market-force realities that must be taken into account before striking such a bargain. When every citizen or legal resident starts each month with the same minimum amount of money to spend, there's a substantial risk of having too many dollars chasing too few goods and services. The trick is to make the fair tax not just revenue neutral but spending neutral as well. Entitlement programs already transfer an ungodly portion of that amount, either directly or indirectly, to grocery stores, doctors, day care centers, etc., etc. But if we're no longer paying the swarms of federal officers currently sent hither to harass our people and eat out their substance — aka bureaucrats — then the exorbitant salaries, perks, and bonuses they receive won't be coming from their big fat Civil Service paychecks but from their finding and working real jobs in the private sector. That is, the woefully few who can actually become qualified and valuable enough to be paid the same amount there. This would automatically result in a drastic pay cut for almost every member of that swarm, which would help offset the amount of money entering the economy via the necessities allowance. In addition, nearly all of Washington, D.C. would be rendered utterly a barren wasteland after the luscious and luxurious overhead formerly enjoyed by those swarmers falls victim to the bulldozer; although several nice, empty parks could be planted in its place. The total amount of money the federal government may justifiably take from us then would be far less than what it steals, borrows, cheats, and extorts from us now, while the total amount of money hemorrhaging out of it would be correspondingly reduced. It means both a smaller and a much more efficient and effectual federal government. Something every American should welcome.

If the above is able to sufficiently forestall any inflationary effects otherwise stemming from the necessities allowance, ours is a bargain from which we wouldn't have to wait 24 years before seeing very real benefits.

ommentary:

Debt Limit Amendment

The annual limit of new debt is tied directly to an always known and fixed quantity — i.e., last two years' total revenue — instead of one always subject to bureaucratic revision and defining, like Gross Domestic Product. Expecting a judge, much less the people at-large, to understand fully all the economic intricacies involved in the latter is just one more layer, probably too thick a one, that must be added between profligate spending and any enforceable limit. Moreover, circumstances a hundred years from now may render the very term itself obsolete and, in turn, the spending limit based on it a dead letter. But basing that limit on no more plain and irrefutable a fact than the "regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money... published from time to time" as already required by our Constitution, would place our growth of public debt under much longer lasting constraints.

In time of war or public danger, when limiting new debt could be unwise, Congress has power to temporarily increase the annual limit by a supermajority vote in each house. But both houses must pass that increase in and for the same calendar year, and do so every year until the war or danger ends. Congress may increase the limit in other times as well. But its members must justify those votes to the satisfaction of their electors.

Congressional Powers Amendment

Eliminating the federal education and labor bureaucracy, the income tax, and every clearly dictatorial individual mandate that now plagues us and threatens all of our most deeply cherished liberties, is this amendment's purpose. The first section recovers what never should have been taken outside the sole purview of our states. There certainly is no delegated power enumerated anywhere in our Constitution for doing so. We cannot allow a few generations of federal courts to regard our Tenth Amendment as a mere "truism" any longer. It is the substance of our liberties. We only loan the federal government some of our powers. That is not an invitation for it take whichever of ours it pleases. This correction of that increasing abuse and outright theft of them is way past due.

The second section gives us and our representatives in Congress seven years to take out of service forever the overly misused IRS assault weapon system, and replace it with a taxation method highly respectful towards basic human rights and dignities. That may mean the consumption-based fair tax with its monthly prebates feature, or the more general and minuscule transaction tax. Whatever method we finally decide to adopt, it cannot help but be infinitely more just and equitable than the multimillion-word monster crushing us now.

The final section addresses the latest, most blatant abuse and theft. Nothing undermines more our longest held principle of strong but limited government than a central government that steals our most basic power to decide for ourselves what is right and best for us, then punishes those who choose not to conform to decisions it feels it alone can and should make for all of us with little if any reference to, much less reverence for our will. Such government is no longer limited, not only in terms of unmitigated power, but in its colossally smug, yet wholly unwarranted feelings of infallibility and self-righteousness. That government, in its hubris, has completely isolated itself from the one true source of all of its powers — namely, us — and thus sets itself up as an object of absolute scorn and ridicule, unworthy of any self-respecting person's support, let alone any of that servile deference it must ever increasingly demand. There can be no government more insecure and weak than one that actually believes it has to resort to such unprecedented power grabs.

Presidential Powers Amendment

No president can or should unilaterally and capriciously insert in a just-enacted law, contrary to its written provisions, arbitrary, inequitable, or politically opportunistic postponements, with or without vague or inapposite references to decades-old law containing discretionary language which neither contemplated nor expressly intended such a far-off, future application. "I can do whatever I want" is never sufficient or a valid justification, not even in what is left of our constitutional republic. It is sad we should require an amendment to close loopholes where, before this administration, none ever existed — when we had presidents who were mature enough to take seriously their oath to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed."

Citizenship and Presidential Eligibility Amendment

This is another case in which, before this administration, there existed no gaping loopholes in Article II of our Constitution. Every president not only was born in the United States, but was born to parents who were both at the time United States citizens. This meaning of "natural born citizen" was the one our nation wisely followed and flourished under for eleven score years. But rather than fundamentally transforming its meaning, we would be wise to follow once again — and keep following — the one that always worked for us. Under this amendment, we can.

Domestic Relations Amendment

As stated on this site last July, under present circumstances, the best if not only method available by which our states truly can promote and safeguard our consent, especially with respect to marriages and other domestic relations, is a Convention of the States for proposing amendments like this one. Under it the policy of our respective states would be to each its own, and no branch of the federal government has any say in the matter. In other words, mind your own business and we'll mind ours. Cannot get any more American than that.

Public Use Amendment

This amendment modifies the federal supreme court's order that allows any government to take private property then turn around and sell or give it to some other individual or private concern whom that government feels can pay it more taxes. These robbing hoodlums with public titles may continue to take from the poor and give to the rich, but they will first have to get the permission of their victims before they may profit from their crimes against common decency and fairness.

Secession and Exclusion Amendment

Our great, great, great grandfathers could have avoided much agony and bloodshed had they directed their energies instead towards ratifying and utilizing such an amendment. But all that is water under the Burnside Bridge. Of concern now is whether any state, against its people's ardent wishes duly expressed through their democratically chosen representatives, should be forced to maintain a political connection between it and a union whose government, as they have themselves determined, has irreconcilably become incompatible with or even inimical to their most solemn and enduring aspirations and is thus unfit to command ever again their allegiance, and otherwise seems less likely to effect their safety and happiness than their own government could were theirs a free and independent state.

Expressed through their respective ratifying conventions, it was the choice of the people of two-thirds of the original states to enter into "a more perfect union" which established our federal government. The people of the remaining states soon chose to enter into it as well. Under that government, Congress admitted new states. Moreover, unlike the previous union, states are absolutely prohibited from entering into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; and it took a disastrous war between them to settle the question of whether the people of a state may even choose to exit from the union alone, without entering into anything else. The union's highest court opined they could not.

This amendment provides our states a mutually agreeable exit mechanism. It also provides for a former state's reentry into the union, as well as expulsion of an existing state. These provisions apply to parts of states, too.

Once a state's succession or exclusion is consented to by three-fourths of the state legislatures, it is no longer part of the union. For all intents and purposes, it has become a foreign nation — a free and independent state that has "full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do." This is true for any seceded or excluded part of a state, provided those consenting legislatures include that state's legislature. Subsequently, that state or part may be admitted back into the union if the legislatures of three-fourths of the existing states consent. Joining it to any existing state as an enlargement of the latter's territory is permitted. Finally, a legislature may withdraw its consent any time before the secession, exclusion, or admission occurs. It may also submit the question of granting or withdrawing its consent, or both, to a vote of the electors in the state, and condition that grant or withdrawal on the result.

This amendment effectually establishes a check of last resort by our state governments on the federal or an errant state's one, alleviating or more constructively channeling any otherwise extremely serious and insoluble disaffection within our ranks. As the number of legislatures consenting to a particular secession or exclusion grows, so too does the incentive to explore and enact acceptable reforms. Should this fail to produce agreeable reforms before the secession or exclusion occurs, it will be forever clear that the offended or offending party's exit from our union was at the time in the best interests of both.

Without such an amendment, there is available to no group of people any possible exit from our union except by winning a civil or revolutionary war.

Term Limits Amendment

The first two sections are from an amendment suggested on this site six years ago. Quoting its relevant notes: "Term-limits language taken from Articles of Confederation, Article V. The terms of delegates in Congress was for one year, but 'no person shall be capable of being a delegate for more than three years in any term of six years.' Similarly, representatives and senators may serve no more three times their normal term during any period of six times their normal term.

"The amount of time served by those in Congress before the amendment's ratification is not counted."

The last section limits the number of years a federal judge appointed after this amendment's ratification may serve in the judicial branch. The lifetime appointments of sitting judges are not affected.

These limits are tabulated below.

No person shall be capable of being a–	For more than–	In any term of–
Representative	6 years	12 years
Vice President	12 years	24 years
Senator	18 years	36 years
Judge	24 years	48 years

The Twenty-second Amendment already sets the maximum number of years a person may hold the office of the President: ten (two after a succession plus two 4-year elected terms).

Another change we need is an amendment that restricts the Commerce Clause so it may never be used again as a bludgeon to pound the people into submission.

Thankfully, as our movement progresses, we are getting closer and closer to adding a new bill of liberties to the supreme law of our land.

hen the Georgia House passes the application, the Senate secretary will transmit copies of it to the presiding officers of each of the legislative houses in the several states, requesting their cooperation.

[T]he General Assembly of the State of Georgia hereby applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the Constitution of the United States, for the calling of a convention of the states limited to proposing amendments to the United States Constitution that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.

Since the states control everything that happens in their convention, and three-fourths of them must ratify whatever amendments it proposes before they become adopted, there's no danger of a so-called runaway convention that ends up fundamentally transforming our Constitution into Øbamarx's ejaculate-crustified copy of the The Communist Manifesto.

For now, this appears the best alternative to some short-lived Civil War II in which beta/blue states wind up conquered and occupied by alpha/red ones.
