Are Americans Unready to Boil?

by Joel S. Hirschhorn Page 2 of 2 page(s)

http://www.robkall.com

Will the first convention be mesmerizing and entertaining? Will it help educate and inform Americans about our Constitution and government? Will it put Ruling Class elites on notice that we the people are seriously pursuing governance we can trust? Yes, yes and yes.

Should we wait until 95 percent of Americans think the nation is on the wrong track? Until just 5 percent approve of Congress? Until we belatedly find ourselves boiled? No, no and no.

Support the effort to get the nation’s first Article V convention, especially if you sense our societal waters becoming hotter – sometimes faster, as under Bush. Sign up at www.foavc.org. Don’t let self-delusion and false hope in Republicans or Democrats blind you. Let freedom ring. Make Thomas Jefferson proud.

This article responds to the hundreds of comments on his previous article Americans Unready to Revolt, Despite Revolting Conditions that received enormous attention, with over 100,000 readers.]

Your aim is a little askew.

At the risk of being told 'Yet again!', perhaps it should be pointed out that 'the greedy British' and 'the ruling classes' and 'the neocon oppressors' have nothing to do with the general population of Britain or that of any other country. Their misdeeds are their own agenda, and nothing to do with the common populations who then have to fight the wars and get it in the neck.

These are whatever label they are carrying at the moment, whether it be 'Royals' or 'Illuminati' or 'capitalist swine'. But behind whatever nationality or creed they may wear in front of them, there are always the same shadows lurking behind them, who incite them and fund them and benefit for the activities of these influential puppets.

Even the Bilderbergers are only carrying out the orders of others, and by now you ought to know who those 'others' are.

So, if you do know, let's all boil over properly and cook their goose once and for all.

And if you don't know, then it's high time you found out!

Why Not Join The July 4 Emegerency Anti War Convention?

I think it's a great idea a to call a Convention with or without the "blessing" of Congress.

That's why I posted the commentary "Emergency Anti War Convention, Philadelphia" and the flyer for the convention.

The Philadelphia Convention is an idea that Cindy Sheehan had before she "retired". People such as Webster Tarpley, Janice Matthews and Paul Deslauriers are driving this convention.

Joel, I realize that you want to have a convention and have done a lot of writing about an Article V Convention, but you've admitted that Congress will never help with such a convention.

So why don't you and your supporters join Tarpley, Matthews and Deslauriers for the July 4, 2007 Convention in Philadelphia?

As is pointed out on the Article V web site, we have to go into this with no political ideology driving it. We have to allow the Convention to create the type of governance that the people want.

The people driving the July 4 Convention possess varying political ideologies and some of them are very progressive.

We should not go in a thousand different directions if the main goal is the same. For sure, poltical ideology should not interfere with conducting a convention.

As part of the flyer for the Philadelphia Convention says, "In the living tradition of the Declaration of Independence, we convene to form a strategic alliance with anti-war, pro-impeachment, civil liberties, and other groups to develop a comprehensive strategy and implement actions to deal with this emergency."

Open Letter to Nancy Pelosi

Dear Speaker Pelosi,

This is what happens when Congress -- elected to enact the will of the people, to change the course of the Iraq War and put an end to an imperial presidency fails to do so by capitulating to a petulant, bellicose, wayward fool:

"Just 14% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in Congress. This 14% Congressional confidence rating is the all-time low for this measure, which Gallup initiated in 1973. The previous low point for Congress was 18% at several points in the period of time 1991 to 1994." (1)

Worse than Bush. Worse than Tom Delay and even worse than the "Newt Gingrich years". The worse congressional rating in history. The Democrats have proven to be two things: A shill for Bush/Cheney and merely a different shade of the same neoconservative color.

As an American living the ghoulish nightmare of the Bush years; amidst all of the cover-ups, the scandals, the betrayal of trust, the criminal activity, the subversion of the laws of our land, endless and needless war, et al., yet you stand mute and subservient to "Emperor Bush", I can only conclude one irrefutable notion: The Democrats are either afraid or complicit; an accomplice to an intentional erosion of American democracy. Either way it make you a traitor or a coward.

-Frank J Ranelli

(1) New Gallup data show confidence in Congress at all time low

Boil

Could you explain how such a convention is called? Like so many other things that go against the grain or attempt to halt inertia, this sounds great; but who has the authority to actually see it through and carry it out?

Radical reform is rarely accomplished peacefully, and within the parameters of accepted procedure. Things usually get so bad that they end up exploding in war and revolution.

A Reformation of Government & Religion is Coming Soon

You don't have to believe me. Just read this:

http://realprophecyunveiled.netfirms.com

It turns the tables on the religious right (including Bush). It exposes the folly of partisan politics and religious bigotry, and explains exactly how the "meek," who are the humble, gentle, peaceful, and truly faithful majority of people in this world, shall inherit the earth.

It is a MUST READ.
