Nick:
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 orphan 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 is not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It's a war between diametrically opposed world views 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 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 fermented 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 a flame 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.
Thanks for posting this....
Re: It’s a war between diametrically opposed world views which cannot peacefully coexist with one another.
It’s about our side understands this.
They've lived so long depending on the good graces of others and not having someone giving them a trip to the hospital, plus coming off 6 years of abject hostility to their 'enemies'by their confederates in DC and blue strongolds, they have become dulled to the idea that the veneer of civilization is very thin.
Also good:
“Let the Left say, ‘We were wrong. It is legitimate to vote for Donald Trump…to be pro-life…to believe there are only two genders. We were wrong to say that’s hateful.’
When they say that, I am waiting with open arms to take down the temperature.”

The left needs scorched Earth brought upon them.

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

I was going to post this myself.
Could not be said better.
Remember: these are not “liberals”, nor “lefties”, or “leftists”.
They are full-blown, evil, sociopathic communists, and they want you dead.
I love this guy......hopefully he’ll be in the government one day.....not just Virginia.......
No more nuance and measured responses. We’re done with that sh*t.
Thanks for reformatting, and also for changing “fermenting” to “fomenting.”
Yes.
He’s the one who should be running for governor in VA instead of milquetoast Sears.
Copied and pasted from his tweet. I bookmarked it and posted to another thread here because when I read it, I wanted others to read it.
This is not the usual prayer kind of ping or Christian themed, but this man is clearly a Christian and incensed It is a very powerful 12 minute video.
So if you object, let me know by FReepmail, please and not take it on the open forum and we’ll see about resolving this.
Presidential material IMO.
Thanks for this post.
Apparently the bar is set at “If I can’t win the argument, I can kill you.”
Good to know.
Oh good. This is just what the country needs right now.
Bunch of idiots. Gonna start shooting the place up. This IS just as bad as the folks on the left.
Ignore these people.
