“ Still, in the end, we must work toward a social consensus in favor of truth, peace, cooperation, civilized engagement, and human rights for all. That is the only answer in these deeply troubled times.”

But the other side keeps taunting for a Civil War, which they would lose badly.

Until they beg the UN and other powers to save them

No idea why to left hated Charlie’s debate. He didn’t raise his voice, let alone yell. Didn’t swear, didn’t finger point, didn’t demean who he was speaking with. He truely embraced a civil conversation with someone with a very different opinion.

The left is really going to hate whoever comes after him who very well may be more aggressive.

Paging Antonio Gramsci...Antonio Gramsci...

If Charlie Kirk is not resting in peace, than no one else will either. There are not many men that have been a better messenger for the word of the Lord.

For those who don't follow clues... In Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony, "social consensus" refers to the widespread acceptance of a ruling class's ideology and worldview as "common sense" and the natural order of society, thereby maintaining its power through consent rather than solely through coercion. Sorry, leftists, but you have no common sense a you only promote abnormal order in society.

There is no fixing that.

Charlie Kirk will join the pantheon that includes Rush Limbaugh and Andrew Breitbart, in my opinion, as incredibly significant thinkers and doers that added in the retrieval of America from the brink of self-destruction. I hope they name an aircraft carrier after him.

About 40 years ago, the LORD gave me a poem in response to the death of a family member’s baby. I’d like to share it today, changing a couple of words because of the age difference between a baby and Charlie Kirk.

This awesome light that flickered
Is not now out, but shines.
In the presence of the Father
He’s surrounded by His arms.
He’s warm, secure, completely safe
He has no cause for fear.
He does not grieve that he is missed
He has no cause for tears.
And some day we will see him
We will know him and be known
When we too, get to Heaven,
His new eternal home.

The left hated Charlie’s debate because they could not counter it. Young people were listening to him, he made sense. Many of those young people had formerly been brainwashed by left leaning “indoctrinators” who dominate our educational institutions.

They hated him because he spoke the truth.

They are demonic. He and his words were the same as light or garlic to a vampire. We are in power now. Donald Trump MUST wield it like a sledgehammer. To quote gay ballerina rahm emmanuel, do NOT let this crisis go to waste.

Yes a martyr. I was heartbroken yesterday after hearing of his death, I’d only heard he’d been shot and assumed it wasn’t that bad... hours later I found out that he’d died.

Worse, he left behind a wife and two little children, one only 16 months old.

I’ve got two candles lit, one for Charlie Kirk and his family,the other for the victims of 9/11.

You’re welcome. I just realized I left off the first verse :

I do not know your faces
How etched with grief they are
But still I long to comfort you
To keep you from despair.
This awesome light that flickered
Is not now out, but shines.
In the presence of the Father
He’s surrounded by His arms.
He’s warm, secure, completely safe
He has no cause for fear.
He does not grieve that he is missed
He has no cause for tears.
And some day we will see him
We will know him and be known
When we too, get to Heaven,
His new eternal home.

It was my brother in law’s nephew. I did not know his parents.
