I’m wondering if this is our Fort Sumter moment.

This is how it felt when the Russians shot down the plane Congressman Larry McDonald was on, another conservative giant.

Could very well be.

I’m wondering if this is our Fort Sumter moment.

My first thoughts but I’m not going to give the RATS and the DS EXACTLY what they’re hoping for.

I trust Trumps Administration to do what is necessary to get justice for Charlie’s family!

This speaks VOLUMES as to the loss of influence that has occurred for the Rats and there DS bosses. They are now resorting to taking out our social media voices by taking out Charlie.

He brought the 2024 surprise voters -“Male Youth voters” to Our side of the ledger…. This is the crime that the 🐀 🐀’s believed Charlie committed. He gave young men a platform to be masculine again and a place that voiced their own beliefs as well.

I hate that these a**holes are gleefully reporting this at MSNBC and their ilk. I want to act out but I won’t because I WILL NOT GIVE THEM THE CIVIL WAR THEY SO DESPERATELY WANT.

"Fort Sumter" IMO was a false flag.

So the real question is, Why did the Citadel Academy fire their cannon? The official story was they where collage kids didn't know better. There was only four citadel academy that fired on the ship which means it wasn't a command order.

Cadet George E. Haynesworth was one of those four that fired the cannon. He later became a judge in South Carolina. All four of the men lived through the war. Seems odd no one asked him why they fired the cannon.

For our side? That would be foolish. We're holding the better hand. It would vanish over night. Though it would be something Antifa would love to see IE: Jan 6 2021.

I was wondering whether it’s 1789 or 1861

Appropriate analogy. It very well could be.

I’m wondering if this is our Fort Sumter moment.

It kinda feels like it out there on the interwebs. For instance from Nick Freitas (@NickJFreitas - Representing James Madison's district in the VA House of Delegates):

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.

And then there's this guy who I can't seem to disagree with:

***I’m wondering if this is our Fort Sumter moment***

✅✅✅ Literally a 'Turning Point'! The Demo'Rat Party is going to have to be dealt with - just like 1861❗ The country cannot tolerate a group that believes that violence is effective political action! ✅❗
