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.

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

The killer wasn’t acting alone. The cryptic messages he left were meant for someone. The “cheering man” has made his statements, and they don’t make any sense. They’re conflicting and all over the place, like he’s hiding something.

We cannot negotiate with evil. We can only confront it and destroy it. After Charlie, there are no excuses left.

That's right, no excuses.

Cut the cord, and stop funding the media that instigates this, even if it means having to come up with something better to do.

Boycott leftist cities and states to the best of your ability, and make it clear you will not fund this.

Or we can do what we've been doing, which is threatening the left with our 80 billion bullets before going back to making them rich with our consumer dollars.

Your choice.

Go sell your swill someplace else. We’re sick of you. You’re not a Republican. You’re not a conservative.

I agree. There are plenty of Republicans that are leftist sociopaths too. But I think a majority of sociopaths are democRATs.

You’re right about one thing.

No, I’m not a republican.

As for my not being conservative...

I am.

Ask me anything.

Let’s have a discussion.

As a Christian, Christ said these times would come. That you would be persecuted, tortured, and murdered for your belief in him, his teaching, and for following and believing in God. He told us to love our enemies and turn the other cheek.

As an American, I can smell the real fascist and communist filth from these people. They reek of it. They claim rights, but deny others those same rights. They call people NAZI’s while the follow Goebbel’s and Hitlers ways, and even a self proclaimed real NAZI-George Soros- to lie and build an army of brownshirts with taxpayer money. They advocate corrupt voting. The tax-or better-they steal from hardworking poor and middle class families to make the rich, even more powerful and rich. They claim to be socialists, while they hoard money, property, and power. They claim free speech, yet cheer when someone who they disagree with is murdered. The watch there phones and turn away when a defenseless off work pizza girl is murdered next to them. The want ‘justice’, but ignore the laws and deliberately let criminals out to commit more crimes.

This Republic can only serve a moral and just people, that morality comes from somewhere. Without God, socialists/democratic fascists prove that all evil things are possible on this earth. In my weakness, I can’t figure out how to ‘love’ my enemy who embraces such evil.

Matthew Dowd — the MSNBCtard who was fired for his remarks in the aftermath of Kirk’s death — was a senior campaign advisor to George W. Bush.

We are beyond political matters here.

Every point you made rings true for me and the way I’ve tried to live my life.

No support for leftist causes - ever.

And I’ve applied the same diligence to my taxes as well. I suggest all conservatives do the same!

I have never paid in one dime more than was illegally confiscated from me, also to stop funding ‘government programs’ that I disagreed with or found immoral - which has been most of them!
