We are not led by serious people: Former CIA Director compares Trump supporters to Taliban, wants to send them to Afghanistan

Published in Blog on August 23, 2021 by Article V Patriot

General Michael Hayden is a retired United States Air Force four-star general and former Director of the National Security Agency, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

With such an impressive resume, you might expect him to have serious good judgment and a hesitancy to say things that alienate millions of Americans.

But if you expected that, you'd be wrong.

The Deep State official has gone off the deep end in recent days, posting a series of ludicrous tweets comparing Trump supporters to the Taliban, wishing to send unvaccinated Trump supporters to Afghanistan, and predicting the death of unvaccinated Americans.

Here's quick snapshot of his recent Twitter feed:

These are the people in charge of our federal government. These are the people making decisions that will affect our children and grandchildren. Hayden led the Air Force, the CIA, and the NSA. And yet, he lacks even a basic sense of right and wrong, and obviously has terrible judgment. 

If this doesn't convince you that we need to reduce federal power, nothing will. We are not led by serious people.

It would be great to elect and appoint competent leaders, but we shouldn't hold our breath. Instead, we should be working to reduce the power and jurisdiction of our federal officials, so even if they make terrible decisions, they hurt as few Americans as possible.

That's why millions of patriots have joined the Convention of States movement. An Article V Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can limit the power, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government and reduce the amount of power and influence of men like Hayden.

Fifteen states have called for a Convention. Nineteen more need to get on board, and you can help make that happen by signing the petition below!

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
