It has been said the loser contributes as much to the outcome of a battle as the victor.
Insofar as the clinical and brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk is concerned, the Republican Party has too many members who are ensuring another historic loss (and progressives another win) in coming elections.
Surely there could be Republican consensus.
The victim was truly innocent, the killer and the progressive ideology that drove him to murder truly evil.
And yet, to the eternal and everlasting shame of many in the Republican Party, we hear calls not of anger or outrage, but of “moderation” and “civility.” This is how the Republican Party blows its clarion call of surrender.
Cox struck a conciliatory tone early on, something Welker recognized and warmly encouraged.
Cox spoke in vague, clinical terms about Kirk’s assassination, the unfolding investigation and, indeed, he seemed more concerned about reassuring the concerned-looking Welker than he was about the murder of Charlie Kirk.
When Welker asked about the killer’s motive, Cox was quite equivocal in his statements, saying the killer came from a “conservative family” after which he apologetically hedged by stating the killer’s ideology was “different” from that of his family’s.
Cox spoke in vague terms about Kirk’s “death” (when he should have used the term “murder”), his tone was measured and agreeable as he elucidated on the role social media plays in society, the need for proper sleep and exercise, among other blandly apolitical observations.
Of note is that at no point during the interview did...

There is an eternal war between good and evil.
FWIW, Charlie Kirk had previously called for Spencer Cox to be expelled from the Republican Party. Cox is fully bought and owned by the tranny-medical-pharmaceutical industrial complex.
The author misses the point entirely - Charlie Kirk was 100% ability “civility”. He was 100% about CIVIL discourse and he took his message into the Lion’s Den of Academia, civilly facing down the students and professors who disagreed with him.
GOP politicians are not calling for “surrender” when they honor and want to emulate Charlie Kirk’s message - with true freedom of speech permitted civilly, we can win on the arguments. We don’t have to become an angry mob like the Left.
“There is an eternal war between good and evil.”
The in between is a problem. The proverbial fence
There is a particular devotion where we are reminded of the spiritual dangers of lukewarmness (capitulation, complacency, whatever other synonyms are appropriate)
“Revelation 3:16. ESV So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. NIV So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. NASB So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth.“
Cox also, early on, made a complaint about guns.
But if they eliminated guns would the doxing stop? Would the vandalism, car-keying, personal threats to conservatives (and their families) boycotting businesses, intimidation social ostracizations and SWATing stop?
The main problem isn’t guns.
Repukes never met an election they didn’t want to lose, or a Congressional Majority that they didn’t spurn.
I heard JD Vance the other night urging "unity" with the Left. "Unity with the Left" ALWAYS means the Right moving to the Left because the left will NEVER budge.
The fire of tribulation weeds out the phonies from true Patriots who love freedom more than their own lives.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!--Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775 at the Second Virginia Convention.
May God raise up an army for freedom lovers in these last days who will work to restore America's Free Constitutional Republic.
That just dressing up political surrender in a guise of fake righteousness. It the usual infantile need by the GOP leadership to deflect attention off the Democrats reckless shameless inflammatory behavior
Incitement to violence and defamation has never been “free speech”.
There needs to be a reckoning from voters with the /Democrat leadership. They created this with their lying reckless “threat to Democracy, fascists, Nazi, racists” campaign tactics. Except for Fetterman in PA every single Democrat from Biden down spewed these lies.
It not a Christian value to appease evil. We are called on to confront it
There has been ZERO “angry mob” behavior on the right this week. To suggest that there is some sort of “moral equivalence” between the two side is childish and insulting.
Here what Vance actually said. Stop playing politics. Now is not the time. 2028 is 3 years away.
He sympathized with several calls for political unity in the aftermath, but declared “real unity can be found only after climbing the mountain of truth” and acknowledging a problem of political violence growing on the far left.
“There is no unity with people who scream at children over their parents’ politics,” Vance said. “There is no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder. There is no unity with someone who harasses an innocent family the day after the father of that family lost a dear friend. There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s assassination.”He sympathized with several calls for political unity in the aftermath, but declared “real unity can be found only after climbing the mountain of truth” and acknowledging a problem of political violence growing on the far left.

The response needs to be measured if we are to maintain the civility we as a nation are set up to live.
The measurement must be harsh and effective, as in documenting all who celebrate Kirk’s murder and bringing it up to their shame without ceasing unless or until they repent. Never allow them to run for public office or shape public policy. Treat them as absent from participation in the citizenry. Cane them summarily if they get violent. RICO the funders and organizers.
Academia depends on federal funds. Obviously, we need to stop funding leftist indoctrination centers. States are not going to want to subsidize all that left-wing crap except in states like Massachusetts and California.
They are Republicans. What else do you expect them to do? If it was not for Republicans, the Democrats would have been gone 20 years ago. Time after, time,, after time, after time, after time Republicans have snatched defeat out the jaws of victory. I see no reason for this trend not to continue after viewing the Republican Leadership. President Trump tried to make winners out of them and they attack and despise him more than they do the Democrats. Other Republicans tried to change them and they have gotten rid of them. Some things are just not meant to be. And making anything but Democrat ass kissers and lickers of the Old Guard Republicans is one of them. They can’t wait until Trump’s time in Office is up so that they can return to doing best.
The Republicans are the “designated loser” faction of the uniparty.
You have two groups in this nation, those who are in favor of liberty and restoration of the Republic, presently championed by Trump, and those who are opposed to the destruction of their leftist global socialism plan.
So, there are two parties...just not the ones we've all been taught.
Don’t be lukewarm. We have a right to be angry and we will fight!
Too much damned demorat in those republicans.
Funny, Zeepie, you're not too civil when it comes to swabbing the rump of your boy Zelenskyyyyyy™ and the corrupt craphole country he leads and foaming at the mouth for the destruction of Russia, are you?
To everyone else: Being "civil" and "taking the high road" against leftist/globalist filth has only resulted in leftists capturing and destroying every cultural, academic and government institution in America. Sixty years of non-leftists being "civilized" in their dealings with leftists is all it took. That is a fact, so anyone who wants to "dialogue" with violent, anti-human, uncivilized leftist/gliobalist filth is a fool at best, suicidal at worst.
No, it's time to utterly crush the disjointed, murderous left, making it impossible for it to ever get its satanic hooks into America again.
