After Charlie, no excuses
American Thinker ^ | 12 Sep, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 09/13/2025 5:21:29 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has changed everything. In the thousands of articles that have already been written about his murder and in the millions of social media posts that have flooded the internet since his death, it is obvious that this historic event has profound meaning for America and the rest of the world.

With the corporate news media’s active assistance, the targeted assassination attempt of an entire softball field of Republican lawmakers eight years ago was transformed into an artificial kumbaya moment celebrating bipartisanship in D.C. When President Trump escaped a similar assassination attempt last year by a fraction of an inch, the propagandists in the press blamed the Republican nominee for his “divisive” rhetoric.

That’s what the political left has done for over a century: Those pushing the Marxist revolution across the West justify their own violence while persecuting others for their speech. Leftist-globalists despise free speech. They will kill you for speaking your mind.

Charlie’s assassination clarifies this dreadful reality in a way that past acts of leftist violence and murder have not. Why? Because he was the best of us: noble, articulate, compassionate, and willing to welcome anyone into the fold, Charlie’s virtuous nature was undeniable. He never raised a hand against his political adversaries. He disarmed opponents with reasoned debate, sincere empathy, compelling argument, and beautiful words. Words were Charlie’s weapon of choice, except he never used them to hurt others. He spoke in ways that could break through the veils of ignorance imprisoning the human mind. His words liberated people. And the demons on the left killed him for it.

Killing this lamb from Jesus’ flock has forced even those who would prefer to remain blind to open up their eyes and see. All over the internet, leftists are celebrating Charlie’s murder.

What percentage of democRATs are sociopaths?

Don't know for sure, but the percentage is certainly higher than the general population. As for those Dems who are not sociopaths, the vast majority of them are incredibly stupid/ignorant people... mental midgets easily led like lambs to the slaughter.

Yes. It is a spiritual war. Many of us have been saying this for a long time but it’s now become crystal clear.

Mr. Robinson was nothing but the embodiment of the left, brainwashed by the demonic messages of the leftist media.

Especially now that there’s plenty celebrating Charlie’s murder, they’re exposed for what they really are. Vile evil.

They can’t stomach the fact that Charlie did one thing, he debated ideas in the context of Christ. He could sit there with the ARMOR OF GOD, reasoning through any perverse idea, behavior, or leftist drivel, while citing the Bible, biblical principles, history, and the data on social sicknesses that have emerged over recent decades.

They had no answer for him. They vilified him, dumbing down the rhetoric to nothing but “he spews hate”, “a white supremacist”, etc. because they had no argument. It’s pathetically intellectually dishonest and weak. It reached such absurdity that they then claimed, “his words are violence”. It was inevitable that some young, brainwashed, and immature mind would be compelled to believe that “actual violence” was an equivalent, justified, response.

In the end, what it means - THE LEFT HAVE LOST. There is no dignified discussion to be had with them. Disagree, you should be murdered. That is their morality, reinforced by countless celebrations of his murder. It is sick, it is evil, it is INDEFENSIBLE.

What Charlie has provided was a recipe for defeating them, along with the ammunition of their own words and actions to be used against them.

It has gone global. Vigils have been held across many countries. There’s a historic “Unit the Kingdom” rally being held today in London (planned for months), to send a message the Brits are taking their country back - Charlie will be honored as central figure, a champion free speech, after speaking at the Oxford Union just a couple of weeks ago. The timing is, well, too perfect. I personally believe it’s too much of a coincidence. We shall see the effects today, millions are anticipated to come to London - in a country where free speech has been killed.

The left has lost, everything has changed, but they still don’t realize it. Charlie was a modern and persuasive example of the life Christ wants us to live - and they killed him for it. But he is recorded, for all time. They’ve unleashed a monster, while believing they’d “scored a win” - no clue what the consequences will be.

Can you give us a recent example of the right assassinating someone on the left since you said both sides do it?

I can't stop thinking that the Liberal campus culture and the youth culture who maintain these radical views are trying to emulate the ‘yellow vest’ crowd in France.

They think there is nothing more ‘with it’ or cool than trashing the culture that sustains you and to which you contribute nothing! For them ... every single day is Halloween and absolutely every outrage is encouraged, never mind the consequences.

It's not globalism, it's "globaloney"!

“What percentage of democRATs are sociopaths?”

I think the proper term for them is “demonrats”, as they have, in the days since Kirk’s assassination, revealed themselves as the demons that they truly are.

Don’t put words in my mouth.

I said there are sociopaths in both parties.

Do you disagree?

And denial isn’t just a river in Egypt.

Re/read Washington’s Farewell Address.

Pay particular attention to his warning about the dangers posed by political parties.

Washington was prescient.

They call this man who preached love a “hater.” They justify executing a man of peace.

Say, wasn't there another man who preached love and was executed for it? About 2000 years ago?

Oh yes I disagree. You are trying to generalize something that is recent and specific. Site something specific. Let’s talk about it, as Charlie would do.

If you think this is exclusive to one party, you are sadly mistaken.

Well, of course, you're right, but it's about a 90-10% split.

I’m not arguing against Washington’s brilliant and far sighted words. I’m arguing against the false assertion that the right is as violent as the left. That is demonstrably untrue.
