RIP: Charlie Kirk Assassinated at Event in Utah

[ClaytonB]

Like so many of you, I’m horrified and profoundly disturbed by what happened tonight. Even more than that, I’m just so sad. I didn’t know Charlie very well but he was always such an incredibly nice person to me and he had no reason to be. Thinking about that young family loosing their sweet father and husband just crushes my soul.

The shot at Kirk was also directed at Smith/etc.

Its purpose is to silence conservatives/libertarians.

They hit Kirk but I hope they miss their real target...

On the final day before the Spanish Civil War broke out, the head of Spain's Right-wing political coalition warned on the floor of parliament that the Left had pushed the nation past its breaking point.

He read off dozens of calls in Leftist newspapers for the Right to be subject to "extermination" and ended his speech with the following prophecy.

"The day will come when the violence you have unleashed will be turned against you."

The Death Of Charlie Kirk

I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.

But we aren't "one people" are we?

The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.

We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.

I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.

And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.

I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.

It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.

Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.

And the other side murdered him.

Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.

I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.

Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.

I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.

I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.

I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.

There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.

But then there will be a reckoning.

My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.

So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.

Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.

Ours is just beginning.

This is why Charlie was dangerous for them. His positions were pretty milquetoast overall, but he put more effort into converting leftists than anyone. He also crossed the line where leftists get them when they're young and they turn conservative as they get old.

One thing we are going to have to grapple with, and fast, is the amount of people in this country who believe political violence is legitimate.

It is baked into the code of progressive politics. They often openly admit it.

Whether it’s executing a healthcare executive in NYC, a jihadist throwing Molotov cocktails at Jews in Colorado, or the murder of Charlie Kirk in Utah, we must realize this problem is real, it is here, and it is now.

Stop and think about this for a minute or two.

What type of event would it take to take attention away from Trump's recent foreign policy atrocities?

How many people care about starvation and genocide in the Middle East right now?

How many people care about our complicity in attacking another sovereign country in efforts to derail peace negotiations in Gaza?

How many people care about summary executions of people on the high seas around Venezuela right now?

How many people care that our military may carry out a decapitation strike on the leadership in Venezuela right now?

How many people are comparing Donald's signature on his BFF Jeffrey Epstein's birthday card right now?

How many people are looking at our economic outlook right now?

How many people really think that Russia intentionally sent drones to attack Poland today?

Who benefits from Charlie Kirk's assassination right now?

Be watchful of calls for retribution.

Be watchful of blame shifting.

Be watchful of Trump and his administration.

Oh my. You haven't figured out yet that Antifa is the FBI?

I haven't even figured out that Antifa is a real thing.

Just like Satan, they're a myth and a rumor... only backward, superstitious people believe in them...



I imagine the placard over the Gates of Hell reads, "FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL".

Liberty cannot coexist with those that are vehemently against it. The Authoritarian Left has made it abundantly clear that they have no desire to live among us peacefully.

There has got to be some kind of negotiated separation.

Or this will end up in war.

I think we need a proper speech from DJT on this. "OK, there, you shot him. Here are his wife and kids. Who's next? Do you just keep mowing down people you don't agree with? What percentage of Americans do you have to murder before you will consider America to be livable?"

The problem with this is that it's a bad bargain -- they are an astonishingly small minority who are able to amplify their voice and their reach through the use of unimaginable brutality... and so why do they get half the country?? No. That's a bum deal. They are committing crimes on an industrial scale. We need to wake up to that reality, and start holding them actually accountable for their crimes.

That starts by cutting your credit card in half, shutting off the porn, pouring the poison drinks in your fridge down the drain, eating only healthy, natural foods, and turning your heart to God in faith and repentance. But see, that's the actual problem --- they're betting nobody on the Right will actually do that. We don't want to eat our vegetables, and they know that, and so they are the arbitrage on our continued coddling of sin within and amongst ourselves. Eradicate sin, turn to God in repentance and desperate pleas for help, and He will clean house as nobody else can, in heaven or earth. That's the real solution. Every other timeline is nothing but tragedy....
