It’s Deeper Than Mental Illness
American Thinker ^ | 18 Sep, 2025 | J. Robert Smith

Posted on 09/19/2025 4:28:55 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Maybe you spent time last week perusing X postings related to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Aside from the many accolades, conservative influencers did fine jobs identifying left-wingers who not only celebrated Kirk’s assassination, but offered attaboys to Tyler Robinson, the triggerman. Some even called for more violence. If you didn’t have time earlier, scroll through the Libs of TikTok’s and the Vigilant Fox’s threads, for starters. You’ll get an eyeful. “Somebody had to do it” wasn’t an uncommon refrain. Who, this side of hell, delights in an act of murder?

What was striking was that many of the posts featured females. Was that the result of sampling biases? Not likely. It was self-promotion. Call it malignant feminist self-empowerment. Not that there aren’t Charlie Kirk haters among “progressive” males -- his killer is an XY, after all, who lived with a trans -- but left-of-center females dominated the posted videos. Why so?

There’s no point rehashing Kirk’s qualities or listing his achievements. Others who knew him have provided rich, poignant testimony to his stellar character and unshakable dedication to his faith and freedom. His very public record is testament enough.

If you sift through the haters’ postings, you’ll think they inhabit an alternative universe. Abundant public record be damned. For them, Kirk was an ogre, some mythical beast. He checked off every box that inflames the leftist mind. Homophobe, transphobe, this-phobe, that-phobe. They fictionalized Kirk. Damn reality, too!

Are the celebratory outpourings over an innocent man’s murder indicative of a sickness in our society? Yes, they are.

It is one part insanity and one part evil.

It is religiousity. They desire to create salvation with their own hands.

Goes back to Cain and Abel.

Earth is doomed to be about 50% evil for all time.

“Goes back to Cain and Abel. Earth is doomed to be about 50% evil for all time.”

...and the Founders understood that there was one group that was less than 50% evil and made sure they were ONLY people who voted. But, starting 150 years later, people from that group thought they knew better and gave us Universal Voting.

...so here we are.

Most definitely this is a spiritual war. We can’t win this without turning back to God. At this point only He can fix the mess we’ve made.

This looks like an interesting read but, hold on a minute. I have to take a couple filtered selfies first.

What is interesting is that this is the 3rd thoughtful look into what the root causes for our ailments are. Plenty of psych mumbo jumbo that for sure has some problems identicied. The one common theme that all seem to ignore weighs heavily on my mind. The sanctioned killing of babies by the very ones tasked with bringing new life into existence.

It's hyper narcissism.

The kind that would make an unemployed guy, his career not going well, given a nice car, living at home, in love with another man who thinks he's an animal, still in love even after this person was kicked out of his parents home, and that he's so morally superior he can dehumanized Charlie Kirk (a light to the world), murder him, believe he wouldn't be caught, that it was reasonable to kill Charlie, and he deserves to be treated gently afterward.

Mentally ill and evil is a menacing combination.

It’s deep Inside the Criminal Mind (Samenow) and the evil aiding and abetting.

THIS!!!! If a woman can kill her baby in the womb, that woman then can easily rejoice in the murder of a person who will call her out about it.

Or the kind that thinks if I just get the XL diet coke with my triple whopper, mega fries, 20 piece nugget and parfait, my face will still fit in the screen. Where have all the good men gone?

What the left’s position, after the murder of Charlie Kirk, is, amounts to this:

We believe we should have the right to call anyone a Nazi.

We believe we should be the only ones who decide if the charge is true.

Nobody who is friends with someone accused of being a Nazi is allowed to defend them — they’re Nazis TOO!

Then, if we decide someone really IS a Nazi, we get to shoot them.

And then the world owes us a Gold Star for killing a Nazi.

Also, we’re against the death penalty, so nobody else gets to kill anyone. Especially nobody gets to kill us.

But we still get to kill anybody.

And finally, if you disagree with any of this, you’re a Nazi.

...that always WAS their position.

But the assassination of Charlie Kirk in broad daylight in front of thousands of people, and the left’s knee-jerk applause of it, let the cat out of the bag.

And normies have noticed.

Careful though. There is a whole industry telling her it is her right. And legions of “doctors” jumping at the chance to provide life affirming care. Sick.

I clicked on an msn post about actor jason bateman's thoughts on kimmel and spied this:

Keith Olbermann said Kirk should 'burn in hell' after ABC suspended Kimmel. Olbermann blasted Kirk in a post on X, days after also blaming Donald Trump for Kirk's murder on his Countdown podcast, saying: 'Charlie Kirk died because he lived in Donald Trump's America.'
My vanity this morning elaborates...

Which reminds me. Do men have a right to murder people that we find to be an impediment to career development? If not, why not? It would life affirming to me.
