My fear is that both Republican and Democrat delegates to such a convention would do as they have often done when legislating: reduce or trim away the few freedoms that remain in the constitution.Any action would have to be approved by legislatures (not governors, not the US Congress) of 38 states.
Mari just locked another one:Ugh. That was painful. I certainly don't miss little Jimmy's mindless drivel.

Hey, PoA management, do yourself a favor and ban this woman.
Hillary Clinton’s lawyer Marc Elias announced over the weekend that the Clinton campaign would participate in the Wisconsin election recount even as he actively fights against recount efforts in a North Carolina governor’s race where the margin of victory was less than 5,000 votes.Don't worry, the press will cover the rank hypocrisy of Clinton.
In North Carolina, where Republican Gov. Pat McCrory filed for a recount after he lost to Democrat Roy Cooper by just 4,772 votes, Elias is singing a different tune.
“Instead of attacking North Carolina voters and undermining our democratic process, Governor McCrory needs to accept his defeat and concede,” said Elias, who also represents the Cooper campaign.

The party of failure, unemployment and food stamps is also the party of never ending hypocrisy on almost every topic.
And this post, above many others, has truly underscored the real problem in our modern culture. The one problem that if left to fester will result in ore destruction.
The problem: the mass polarization of our citizenship.
This is our internal danger.

Well, I sure as hell know what the guy meant. If you don't, I pity you.Then perhaps you shouldn't make shit up, and add to our destruction. You are as guilty as anybody.

The link provided is a prime example of how a partisan can read whatever they want into a parsed-up quote.Which American ideals do you think Obama means? Freedom of Speech? Sure, unless a non-profit makes a movie critical of a presidential candidate, in which case Obama felt emboldened to embarrass the Supreme Court, and his party's platform calls for a Constitutional Amendment to silence political speech? That ideal?
Obama's remarks are simple: he'll give Trump room to govern without direct criticism. But he'll be happy to defend American ideals. This is no more or less than any of us would request. Anyone who has the ability to elevate themselves above blatant partisanship could accept that.
In other words, he'll do the same as others.Prove it. No more petulant, childish US president has existed in my lifetime. Not one.
Soros has deep pockets. And he funded the loss of Sheriff Joe.Trump should make Sheriff Joe head if ICE, or the Southwest region of DHS. Would that not be the biggest "Fuck you" to Soros and his ilk?
Good luck going anywhere near entitlement reform. I agree that it needs to happen but it's a political non-starter. The proverbial "third rail" of American politics. For effective entitlement reform to occur, a plan would have to be developed ahead of mentioning it to anyone (good luck with that as well) and then you'd need an excellent sales pitch. The Democrats are going to do everything they can do make it out to be terrible. Remember the commercial of Ryan pushing granny off the cliff? It'll be worse than that.This is why Trump must work with Ryan. Trump said he wouldn't touch entitlements, but Ryan has a plan. If the GOP can't get entitlement reform done now, then we are truly financially doomed as a country.
Quit trying to change my post to reflect what you want it to say. My post was very self explanatory.Well said.
Government is corrupt, no doubt. The political parties aren't government, they are private organizations that place people in government. And yes, they too are corrupt. The media is not a part of government, but they have shown corruption.
When an organization stoops to outright lies and manipulation of the voting process in order to promote their agenda and get their people into office, that is rigging and corruption. When a organization commits crimes against the country and uses a political operation and media to cover up these crimes, that is corruption.
When a candidate uses her position in government to sell access and trade away security, that my friend, is treason.
Again, this is you guys, just on the other side. It's strange that you don't see that. Trump spent much of the election telling his supporters that if he lost it would be because the system is rigged. I guarantee you that if Hillary had won, we'd have a bunch of threads right here in Pilot Spin to the effect of: "I can't believe Hillary won. The system is rigged and needs to be fixed."You think there would be riots and protests if Hillary won? Do you think we would be having "cry circles" like they had at Cornell? Do you think we would be pulling Hillary voters out of their cars and beating them? Do you think we would be saying the same stupid childish shit that these Hillary voters are saying? Do you think we would be saying that Trump should walk into the Supreme Court and sue the United States because the electoral college is unfair, like some protestors have said?
If it makes me an insensitive ass to laugh out loud at this so be it.Trump's first executive decision should be to eliminate all "safe spaces" on college campuses, with a subordinate clause to reinstate formerly "offensive" team names, such as the Marquette Warriors and the North Dakota Fighting Sioux.
That is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever seen, how will the snowflakes function in the real world - 'I can't come to work today, the election has traumatized me'.
I want to heal the divide but that, that is just pathetic.
