Help Save Our Republic
Are you concerned about the course we are on? A Conservative wondering what you can do? A Progressive or Liberal? What can one person do to affect a change of course? Be a small voice for the Conservative? Be a plea in the cyberspace to the Liberal or Progressive. This is an effort to persuade not offend. PS Comments are moderated; education and conversation over confrontation is the goal here.

Naming @JDeanThomas And ilk A Top Enemy To The Republic
Your attitude is relevant.
Sorry Mr. Thomas if this bothers you, but I've given a few days of thought to our interaction, and am convinced you are a serious problem to our Freedoms. That makes you an enemy of the Republic. They scary thing, is that there are tens of millions of you out there. Individually, you are just one person, collectively you are powerful. Perhaps a power to tyranny.
I had re tweeted this post on Twitter: Wake Up Call @Anewhomestar
@LarryCragun Totally, that's why he was a professor of constitutional law at one of the most prestigious universities on the planet...
@JDeanThomas so what does that prove?
His response: Jason Thomas @JDeanThomas
@LarryCragun It's a strong indicator that he knows more about our constitution, history and "what we were built on" than you ever will.
@JDeanThomas I assume you like what he's doing.
@LarryCragun That's Irrelevant. I'm not so foolish as to to assert his entire life is based on hatred for the American way, whatever that is

RT @LarryCragun Obama hates what we were built on, the Constitution, democracy, our history. #tcot
Mr. Thomas sarcastically responded: Jason Thomas @JDeanThomas
Larry Cragun @LarryCragun
His response: Jason Thomas
So I asked him: Larry Cragun @LarryCragun
And his answer is the problem: Jason Thomas @JDeanThomas
Jason: it is relevant. It's a matter of is he committing tyranny a step at a time. It is relevant and your sidestepping the issue contributes. I do not know what drives your attitude: a love for the benefits you are deriving, a fixation on Obama, a desire to be tolerant, what? Little by little, executive order by executive order, illegal act by illegal act our Constitution is being destroyed.
And your response to my inquiry, is that it is irrelevant. Way to skirt the issue as a true person in denial. An enemy to the Republic.
I sure hope you and the many wake up before it's too late.

Let Me Tell You About David And The Dark Side
![]() |
Monroe Penitentiary |
This has been David's home for the last 25years. I have known David since he was 15 years old. I had a lot of interaction with David. One was to council him about a girl he was possessive over.
David is in Prison for attempted murder. His sentence would have been lighter under certain circumstances.
David's girl friend broke up with him and that didn't set well with him. She had a new boy friend. David planned on paper a detailed plan to kill her. At night when she was at home with a boy friend, David had snuck into her closet in her bedroom. The girl and her boy friend had no idea he was there. After the boy friend left David attacked her with an ice pick. He came close to killing her. He then left her home and cut his wrists, lying in a nearby field.
David attempted this with the girls two younger brothers in nearby basement bedrooms. He damaged her wrists for life, leaving her unable to play her instrument ever again.
The next morning, after being made aware of the attack, I called a friend doctor on call at the hospital. He went to her and called me back. "She may not live Larry" the attack was brutal.
David went from a clean cut young boy with a lot of hopes and potential to this killer to be.
What happened?
David explained it when he went for sentencing, hoping the judge would understand and be benevolent. She wasn't. David's words were something like this (I was on the front row in the trial room) "Judge, I was born into a good family. They brought me up to do what was right. I just got into the wrong things; first it was the wrong types of friends, they introduced me to games that were fun and attractive - dragons and dungeons, harmless games. They got me into sex and drugs. They convinced me that my righteous parents were all wet, weird, out of touch. Little by little I was dragged into the dark side of things. I went from being the good teenager my parents tried to help me become, eventually a good young man, into this monster."
David was sentenced to 38 years with the possibility of a very few years off for good behavior. Washington State has minimum sentencing laws.
I visited David in the County Jail every Sunday for over a year while he was waiting trial. He was in solitary for most of the time. I noticed and mentioned to others that watching David over those weeks I saw him look less and less like a dark spirit each visit.
The influences on David were less in prison than when he was a free person.
I understand that he has been a model prisoner. That he made a commitment to do something good with his life, even if in prison for the full term. He was born and raised with a religious foundation and apparently has used that to fulfill some means of positive outcomes with the circumstances he put himself in.
I have heard a lot of talk about guns these last few days. I posted an article about lets outlaw knives. It seems to me the problem isn't that simple. David's parents tried to raise an decent boy. He took control of his environment and in a few years became a dark and scary guy.
How can the evil I saw in David be stopped? Legislation? How?
What make David what he was, wasn't the ice pick. So what then?
Perhaps it was how cool were the dark things; the games. the dark stuff: the drugs, the sex, the violence. Perhaps we are paying the societal price for decades of removing God from the accepted political conversation, from our schools, from public places.
I heard Michael Medved quote a survey that showed Obama lost in many categories, but that the category he won, like 90 to 10%, which Medved says what was the deciding factor in the election was in the category of Non's. Like non believers. Non Jewish, non Christian, the opposite.
Are we willing to outlaw the non's? Seriously, how about embracing what our country was founded on, God and a Country founded on Man's God Given Rights. This is a country built on individual freedoms, including the right to be a non.
However, are the non's, which likely includes the providers of the "Dark Side" taking over, influencing to much, are they part of Satan's team the adversary: he the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
I am sure I am more correct on the problem than those shouting out "Gun Control".

Are You Going To Outlaw Knives Too?

Salt Lake City: Gun Toting Shopper Shuts Down Knife Attacker:
I've listen to a flock of people say outlaw gums now. Oh, really, and how about knives?The Problem isn't the weapons, it's the degenerates that commit the acts. Maybe it has something to do with the lack of moral structure in their lives. Perhaps it's the violence they see in video games or movies. I don't know the answer - but please - outlaw knives, is that next? Will pencils be after that?
Here is the knife story.
A man stabbed two people at the Smith's Marketplace grocery store in downtown Salt Lake City before being subdued by a bystander.
The attack took place around 5:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the store at 455 S. 500 East. According to a witness, it appears one man was stabbed in the side of the head and another was stabbed in the stomach. The exact condition of the victims is unknown, but police believe the injuries are very serious and possibly critical. Police say a bystander with a concealed carry permit witnessed the attack and stepped in to keep it from escalating.
The complete story is here on the Deseret News website. It's worth finishing

What Are You Going To Do?
![]() |
Times Square |
With 58 million people who voted against Obama and the local elections that had many conservative results, it doesn't take that much. Realistically, I won't hit that much success, but if everyone does something they feel comfortable with, we can turn this thing around in the next election.
Seeking to be pragmatic, I accept that it won't happen that fast. But this is such an important issue, protecting our Republic from being destroyed is so worth it, decide what you can do and do it.
I will try and reach my five. Hopefully they will pass it on. It's my goal.
It's also my goal that this site have new content at least 4 days a week. You could send me such content to post and then send others here to see your opinion in print, even discuss it with you.
Brandon Scott did that for me last night, I thank him again as I did in the post. (The Ron Paul Speech). I have many other duties, and would be grateful for any help you provide.
I would like to point out that in 3 days I reached the level of hits on this blog as I have after one year of my genealogy blog: larrycragunfamily.blogspot,com and half of those Genealogy hits come from Google. I don't expect Google to help me that much on this blog as the number of websites and articles about this subject are so many.
I have done what you can do. Over the last year or so I have tweeted about politics and have picked up over 1000 followers. When I started this blog I began adding to those I follow. I have gone from 27 to over 100. Many of them follow me back. I am reaching out now to people who appear to be open minded. I have picked up some fanatic liberals, I don't expect to convert them to Constitutional Government. I will seek to have a dialogue with them and see how it goes. By the time this article goes live I may have done that once.
I also have a connection on Facebook with many friends and family. Many are liberals. I post a link to my articles in both Facebook and Twitter. That is driving most of my traffic. Perhaps even those who are connected these ways are already Conservative politically, and perhaps I can spur them to being some sort of center of influence and education in their own way.
The picture of Time Square is symbolic in a few ways. One it represents a time Kathleen and I had a great vacation/business trip. We weren't struugeling at the time. Our economy was strong and our business was doing great. Those times have passed and we are still happy, but we are concerned about our Country. It also is symbolic of a large body of people We don't need a large body of converts, we do need a large body of Patriots like you. More on that in the next paragraph. Finally to me this photo is symbolic of individuals. Look at the photo. Are any wearing a sign that says middle class? Do they have a sign that says white guy or woman? No. They are individuals. We are all individuals.
Finally, back to the Patriot issue. Be a Patriot and be it now. Study the things that we are fighting for so you can discuss them. Until then do something like giving your prospective convert a book, such as Ameritopia. Let it do the work after you ask for a commitment for them to read it. You read it. Read the Bill of Rights. Listen to some of the people or read their works in the Honor Roll on the left of this blog.
The only thing I hope to push along is that many of you do something, and they get people to do something, so the 58 million of us that voted against this regime overwhelm an important election and through out those who are taking us down the drain, be it Republican, Democrat, Marxist, or Liberal. I say overwhelm as I am convinced some of the elections were full of fraud.

A Proper Solution To Illegals Situation

Do the politicians have the will to secure out borders? Not the Democrats, they are building a constituency.
But at what cost to our Country?
My solution, at least the foundation - instead of amnesty or any forgivness law that provides citizenship I propose that we provide some sort of right to stay without a right to vote.
Couple that with a crackdown that if they didn't register for the right to stay within a certain period of time, they lost the right permanently.
Make it so it is better to stay legally, than to have it illegal for them to vote.
Help Save Our RePublic Names The Supreme Court As An Enemy To The RePublic

Sorry to have to add The United States Supreme Court as an Enemy to the RePublic. The last bastion for the Salvation of the Constitution, the Contract that protects our Republic, lies in these wise judges decisions.
Instead of executing on their sworn duty they have become powerful political hacks. And to think, in the next four years Barack, screw the Constitution, Obama could appoint more of them.
God save our Country. I don't know how he will do it, but please God do it.
