Thank you for this eloquent statement. I've already seen the leftist media spinning it: he was a "divisive" figure, he was polarizing, and political violence has been on the increase "all across the ideological spectrum" (has it)? The truth is that Charlie Kirk was a centrist conservative who debated students on college campuses about mainstream issues like abortion and Communism with good grace and kindness. Anybody could take the mic who wanted to try to outdo Charlie with evidence and reason. He was a model of what useful political disagreement on hot-button issues can be like. Beyond the staggering loss of an important young political activist with a great career ahead of him, beyond the tragic death of a devoted father of two, it really hurts that so many progressives will be gladdened by the news and will feel morally righteous in laughing about it or pressing home why he deserved it.
Thank you for your words also. I am disgusted and frankly afraid at what has become of the left. Imagine thinking open debate about ideas was so terrible a man deserved to die. RIP Charlie.
People who don’t know any history are ignorant of the fact that the left, led by Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro, Ceaucescu, and Hitler (NAZI means National SOCIALISM after all) among all too many others killed some 200 million people with their submoronic, vicious ideology.
I’m waiting for Bernie Sanders and his little buddy, Zohran Mamdani, to denounce this vicious, political murder. As progressives who love Our Democracy, shouldn’t they be the first to speak out against censorship and violence?
