Iryna Zarutska, Charlie Kirk, and the Democrat Party

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Three recent events have underscored the catastrophic erosion of the foundational tenets of the United States and the anti-Americanism of the Democrat Party. The first is the brutal murder of a young woman in Charlotte, N.C., Iryna Zarutska. The second, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The third, sitting Democrat senator Tim Kaine’s declaration reflecting a fundamental belief within the current Democrat Party that the government is the source and, thus, the final arbiter of all human rights.

Over the centuries, those that deem the state is paramount and, thus, the source of all rights, believe granting, limiting, or denying these rights is the sole discretion of the state based on what the state defines as the greater good. When the state refuses to recognize the unalienable or God-given rights of its citizens its society is beset with turmoil and its culture is fraught with no respect for the life, liberty, and property of its individual citizens.

In the case of Iryna Zarutska deference to the perpetrator’s race was more important to the state than her life or liberty. The deliberate creation of an environment wherein the unalienable property right of speech is not tolerated or recognized directly led to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Murder caused by deliberate government negligence and the cultivation of violence directed at its political adversaries by the Left and the Democrat party are the inevitable by-products of the mindset that rights are arbitrary and thus need not be respected.

The United States is the only nation in the annals of mankind to be established on the basis of a political and social philosophy centered on natural, or God-given, rights that can never be abrogated and that the primary purpose of government is to preserve and protect these unalienable rights of its citizens.

To that end the people...

Ironically, the death of a woman no one knew and the death of a man everyone knew may change the course of the nation.

the anti-Americanism of the Democrat Party

Here in New York where I unfortunately must live, we just had our governor endorse a blatant commie for Mayor of NYC, a punk ass bastard who wants to close prisons, defund the cops, and continue cashless bail. They don't even bother hiding it any more. And the brain dead woketards here have him far and away leading in the polls.

This woman being murdered had zero effect on them, explain that to me....

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Let’s hope, but I have my doubts. The left is so far gone, it’s like an incurable brain disease. Every day I see people bashing Charlie on the net, blaming Trump for everything. It’s like Democrats are their flawless Gods who can do no wrong.

[Bullish]

Sane people can’t really fathom all that’s gone wrong with the insane left... For most sane folks, it just doesn’t compute. It’s like they have a deep-seated death wish.

[Right Brother]

Keep in mind that these evil videos are being magnified by Charlie supporters ( and rightfully so) and we are likely not seeing the magnitude of the backlash against the left.

Nothing has changed since Kitty Genivese

Well stated.

If anyone thinks that these murders will have a measurable effect on the Democrat’s voter base, think again. By definition only a brain dead zombie who has lost or more likely never Hd the ability to distinguish facts from fiction, reality from fantasy, logic from wishful thinking, etc would vote Democrat anyway. Does anyone think the death of Charlie Kirk, a genuinely good person, or the lovely young WHITE woman will have the slightest effect on these idiots? I don’t. They’ll continue to vote Democrat. To change would require that they confront the fact that they’ve been wrong all their lives, and for most of them their egos won’t allow that.

And for those human maggots feasting on the dead who think that you should be killed for having an opinion different from theirs, I wonder if they bothered to follow that thought to its logical conclusion (probably not. Logic is not something they are aware exists) and we conservatives have more guns.

You forgot to mention the intentional brutal attack on schoolchildren attending the first Holy Mass gathering of the school year at Ascension Catholic Church in Minneapolis.

Similar to the other two murderous events, the perpetrator is/was a mentally imbalanced individual who seemed to be out of control of his emotions due to hatred.

There is a 12-year-old girl, Sofia, who has finally been diagnosed as in serious condition - down from critical.

The diabolical murder of Charlie Kirk and the Ascension School attack can both be categorized as anti-Christian in nature, as well as incompatible with all values of western Judeo-Christian civilization.
