Rest in peace, Charlie. God will take it from here. He has already done so much good in the week since you left us.
I wanted to focus on that while hosting The Charlie Kirk Show today. Tonight on Glenn TV, my team compiled some of the highlights.
I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.
But we aren't "one people" are we?
The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.
We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.
I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.
And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.
I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.
It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.
Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.
And the other side murdered him.
Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.
I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.
Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.
I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.
I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.
I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.
There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.
But then there will be a reckoning.
My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.
So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.
Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.
Ours is just beginning.
@gloria_purvis Disturbed? No. Disappointed that since you were let go, you have decided to create a career on something that isn’t real (to the extent that you make it) and one you’ve sensationalized in order to profit off of. You are in my prayers that you will find peace and learn to love
the purpose of the Council was the “modernization of the Church after 20 centuries of life.” - Pope Saint John XXIII
This behavior is a direct result of Vatican II. Lord forgive them, for they know not what they do 🙏🏼
@TaylorRMarshall Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him! May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
Eternal Rest Grant it to Johnny & Matthew O Lord, and let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace. Amen
@gloria_purvis Gloria, these situations have absolutely nothing to do with each other. I’m sure this is just an attempt from you to get clicks/likes, but as a Catholic woman especially, stop trying to make everything a race issue.
Even @billmaher has more sense then some of my fellow Catholic’s like @mfjlewis / @Where_Peter_is & @NCRonline
Also, if you see anyone comparing Harrison Butker to Kaepernick….just avoid them completely. Those ppl clearly don’t have much logic (with all due respect)
#IStandWith7
especially the Catholic women who have clearly embraced feminism instead of 100% embracing the True Teachings of Jesus Christ and our Holy Mother Church.
To all of my brothers & sisters in Christ, especially the women, guess who the greatest “Homemaker” in history was? I’ll wait
The worst part about the backlash towards #HarrisonButker is certainly not the reaction from Liberals…that’s to be expected. No, the worst part is seeing how some Catholic’s, most of which are women, are reacting and criticizing in such an uncharitable manner. (1)
They either didn’t watch/listen to the speech in its entirety or they just can’t understand basic Truths of our Faith.
Seeing fellow Catholic’s behave in this manner and the cowardly passive agressive comments is just proving the point. (2)
Listen to this amazing commencement speech by Harrison Butker 🔥
Our Catholic faith has always been counter-cultural... The world around us says we should keep our beliefs to ourselves whenever they go against the tyranny of diversity, equality and inclusion -
@JamesMartinSJ@Church_Militant “please join me in prayer for these souls gone astray so they may know the mercy of Our Lord” (something like that)
I finished your post for you @JamesMartinSJ Please try to do a better job of at least pretending to show charity towards fellow Catholic as any good priest would
