Oggi si celebra la Giornata nazionale di Cristoforo Colombo, istituita nel 2004 per onorare uno dei più grandi italiani di cui l’Italia può fregiarsi.
Con il suo straordinario viaggio di 533 anni fa, Colombo ha dato al mondo un altro mondo. Concepì un’avventura che nessun altro prima di lui aveva immaginato. Navigò verso Occidente, oltre i confini del mondo all’epoca conosciuto. Un “nuovo Ulisse”, che non fece naufragio ma che riuscì in una delle imprese più gloriose di tutti i tempi. Impresa che ha segnato il passaggio dal Medioevo all’Età Moderna, riscritto la geografia e cambiato le relazioni politiche, culturali ed economiche tra i popoli.
Il viaggio di Colombo ha gettato le fondamenta di quel legame indissolubile che unisce le due sponde dell’Atlantico, Europa e America, e che rappresenta il nucleo di ciò che definiamo Occidente. Non uno spazio fisico o geografico, ma un sistema di valori che vogliamo difendere e preservare. La nostra missione non è abbattere le statue del passato e cancellare gli eroi che hanno plasmato la nostra identità, ma aggiungere a quella storia le nostre statue e i nostri eroi, con orgoglio e umiltà.
Oggi rivendichiamo la nostra identità e lavoriamo per rafforzarla, perché senza quella identità non possiamo tornare grandi e restituire all’Occidente il suo ruolo nel mondo.
Oggi Colombo viene ricordato in molte Nazioni nel mondo, a partire dagli Stati Uniti. Il grande navigatore genovese è l’origine dei legami che uniscono il popolo italiano al popolo americano. Legami oggi più solidi che mai, anche grazie al prezioso contributo della comunità italo-americana allo sviluppo, alla prosperità e alla forza degli Stati Uniti.
Difendere e celebrare Colombo significa difendere e celebrare la nostra identità profonda e ciò che ci rende, nel mondo, così amati, apprezzati e rispettati.
In loving memory of Charlie Kirk, a fearless patriot & man of unwavering faith who dedicated his life to America.
"It's bigger than you, I want you to remember that... It's bigger than me - you are here to make somebody else's life better, the pursuit of liberty & freedom."❤️
Please share if you agree that the estate of Charlie Kirk should sue Stephen King for defamation over this heinously false accusation
He’s crossed a line
It will prove costly
Welles Crowther, a former Boston College lacrosse player who had a trademark red bandana, was working in New York on Sept. 11, 2001.
This is the story of how he led people to safety after terrorists struck the World Trade Center.
Charlie Kirk would have been president. His friends knew it. His admirers knew it. And his enemies knew it.
This universal confidence in Charlie’s future began with his countless political accomplishments. At 18, he founded Turning Point USA, which went on to become the most important cultural organization on the American Right. By 22, he was addressing the Republican National Convention. Three years later, he founded Turning Point Action, which led the get-out-the-vote efforts that delivered the first Republican popular vote victory in twenty years. In his spare time, Charlie published five books, hosted a national talk show, married a lovely wife, and fathered two beautiful children. All of that by 31.
Charlie’s appearance inspired as much confidence as his accomplishments. At a towering six-foot-five slouching, he joked that he had descended from the Nephilim—the giant “fallen ones” of the Old Testament. He might have been born with such a nature, as are we all, but he was not content to remain so. Charlie loved his Savior. The zeal with which he debated politics paled in comparison to the excitement with which he discussed religion. And his religious life bore fruit.
Turning Point launched a Faith division to focus specifically on his followers’ souls. There too, Charlie’s enthusiasm for open debate set the tone, as he invited atheists and even Catholics to take part. But he didn’t need a specific religious conference to convey his faith. Charlie Kirk’s religion bore fruit in everything he did.
Discerning observers believed in Charlie Kirk, not chiefly for his accolades or his appearance, but for his manifest virtue. Charlie’s prudence, the principal virtue in politics, built a generational coalition that helped to transform the American government. His temperance distinguished him as one of the few on the Right to eschew whisky, cigars, and every other delight that might have distracted him from his purpose, for which he had so little time. His sense of justice produced clarity in moral vision and grace for his opponents. His fortitude impelled him to enter the public square without a hint of servile fear.
Charlie’s only fear was the holy sort—awe and wonder, the beginning of wisdom—and his clearest virtues were theological: faith, hope, and charity. We mourn his death, we take up his cause, and we entrust him, as he confidently entrusted himself, to God’s care.
Once again, a bullet has silenced the most eloquent truth teller of an era. My dear friend Charlie Kirk was our country's relentless and courageous crusader for free speech. We pray for Erika and the children. Charlie is already in paradise with the angels. We ask his prayers for our country.
