I have been reading the constitution and I think people are over reacting to this story.

The constitution says in Article 5 that 2/3 s of the states are required to call the convention, however and changes made to the constitution still need to be ratified by 3/4 of the states which is 38 states. So you need more states to ratify (approve the changes proposed) than you need to call the convention.

Amendments to the constitution are proposed regularly on the house floor every year. These don't go any where because the congress is so scared of having their finger prints on the constitution that could come back in the history books to bite them.

I think there are some people out there who are attempting to start a riot based on half truths and fear mongering.

I my self am in fear that the NWO or socialists are attempting to subvert the constitution, but I don't think they can change it in this way.

Hehehe i love how you fear socialism while you have been living in a dictatorship all along.

No where near a dictatorship. I think you are mistaken the claims made on the internet to what can only be described as reality.

Hmm......yea. I guess Obama will free all of those journalists and others Bush has had thrown in jail for bad mouthing him come 21 Jan. That is one of the first freedoms lost under a dictatorship.

Dude.....get a clue.

I think he was replying sarcastically to my sarcasm.

Point is, there are none. The person to whom I was originally replying has no idea what he was talking about.

Sounds like a confusing situation.
So anyway back on topic.

If they jailed every journalist that ran a story that was critical of Bush, every journalist in America (except for Fox News) would be in jail.
