It’s Time to Make Things Right

Some people are late to the conversation. Some think that there’s still room and time for dialogue, that those who don’t get it are still within reach, that they can still be ‘saved’; that, if we are clever and cautious enough, if we just assemble a tighter and more comprehensive argument and package it nicely enough, reason will finally prevail, and that the uninitiated will surely accept the truth when it is finally perfectly and plainly laid before them in the clearest of resolution. This is not just a pipe dream but a complete misreading of the room, a special kind of ignorance to the “godless ideology,” as Virginia Delegate Nick Freitas has described it, “that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness… and [led to the assassination of] Charlie Kirk.”

Remember this: less than a year ago, half of the country was wholeheartedly prepared to vote for a senile dementia patient, Joe Biden, for the simple reason that their party and its media outlets had convinced them that the alternative, Donald Trump, is evil incarnate, a "racist fascist" and a "danger to democracy". When the Democratic Party — the one complicit in covering up Biden’s serious health issues — finally replaced Biden with cackling Kamala Harris, who repeatedly echoed the lie, half of the country was still willing to vote for the Democratic candidate — all because, as CNN, MSNBC and the various other outlets assured them, the alternative was "Hitler 2.0".

Despite this, there are still some among us who believe that there is still time and space to reason through differences with those who consistently deceive and cover up lies, who concoct “justifications” for theft and murder, who dehumanize and dehumanize and dehumanize and make tasteless caricatures of the men and women they don’t like to the point that people are physically hurt or killed as a result, and who then find some twisted amusement in the pain and suffering they’ve caused, condoned, or egged on. Despite this, there are still some among us who believe that there is still a chance at ‘peace’ and ‘unity’ — popular phrases and buzzwords serving to weaken the resolve of the righteous and so often held as shields for the wicked once the violence has already been done. 

By all accounts, it’s not just that these ideas won’t work, even forgetting the fact that they read more like high-minded poetry than well-defined plans; it’s that they tend to protect those who’ve made a habit of violence, calling us ‘Nazis’, or ‘weird’ if they’re feeling generous — thinly-veiled language barely concealing their interest not just in defeating us at the ballot boxes but in eliminating us from existence. After all, that’s the ‘reasonable’ way to handle ‘Nazis’, ‘fascists’, ‘bigots’ and ‘racists’, right?

Here are just some such examples of the intense rhetoric that has incited so much hatred and despicable violence from the Left:

Kamala Harris has called Donald Trump a “fascist” and has accused his administration of “transphobic” policies; Joe Biden and his campaign have referred to Trump as a “fascist,” a “racist,” and have accused him of “parroting Hitler,” while they have asserted that the GOP represents “evil” forces. Karine Jean‑Pierre has accused Donald Trump of demonizing minorities and representing “a threat to democracy.” Barack Obama has called Trump “racist” and his followers “bigoted,” and has said that the Trump “administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that's what it takes to win.” Tim Walz has compared a Trump rally to a “Nazi rally,” and Elizabeth Warren has said that Trump is turning the country into a “fascist state,” accusing the GOP of “transphobic” and “misogynistic” behavior. Maxine Waters has called Trump a “racist” and a “bigot” and has called on the public to confront Trump supporters with violence. Hillary Clinton has labeled Trump supporters as “racist,” “sexist,” “homophobic,” “xenophobic,” “Islamophobic,” and “transphobic,” and has described as “evil” the entire Republican Party, its actions, and its policies. Beto O’Rourke has referred to the GOP as a “fascist” party; David Lammy has called Trump a “neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath” and has accused him of being a “misogynist.” Don Lemon has referred to Trump as a “racist” and a “bigot”. Jemele Hill has called Trump a “white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself [with] other white supremacists,” “the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime” whose “rise is a direct result of white supremacy,” and that anyone who voted for him “is a racist.” Laura Helmuth has called Trump supporters “fascists” and “bigoted,” and Jason Johnson has described the Republican Party as “fascist,” “transphobic,” and engaging in “eugenics-like” policies.

Matthew Dowd has compared GOP rhetoric to that of “Nazis in 1930s Germany,” and Brian Stelter has used terms like “authoritarian” and “fascist” in reference to Trump. Chris Hayes has referred to Trump as “racist,” “fascist,” and “transphobic,” and Joy Reid has called Trump a “racist,” “fascist,” “white nationalist,” and “misogynistic.” As part of a skit for Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary show, Tom Hanks portrayed a ‘typical Trump supporter’ as a dumb and racist white man wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat. Jack Black has described Trump as “an evil f#cking warlock” who’s destroying the universe.” Kyle Gass, bandmate of Jack Black, lamented on stage that President Trump’s would-be assassin didn’t finish the job, saying, “Don’t miss Trump next time.” Keith Olbermann has referred to Trump and his supporters as “fascists” and “racists,” and has repeatedly referred to “Trump-Nazis.” Ana Navarro has called Donald Trump and his supporters “racist,” “xenophobic,” and “transphobic,” while Michael Moore has described a Trump rally as “Nazi-style” and has called Trump a “fascist.” The Lincoln Project has referred to Trump and his movement as “fascist” and “authoritarian,” accusing him and his supporters of “transphobia” and “misogyny.” Those from The Young Turks (including Cenk Uygur) have described him as a “fascist,” a “wannabe fascist,” a “racist,” and “transphobic,” and a neo-Nazi sympathizer comparable to Hitler. Mehdi Hasan has called Trump a “fascist,” a “white supremacist,” and a “bigot,” and Shaun King has labeled Trump a “racist” and a “fascist.” Sarah Silverman has referred to Trump as a “Nazi” and a “fascist” and has accused Trump of “misogyny,” while Joy Behar has called Trump the “very definition” of a “fascist” and “transphobic.”

Sunny Hostin has said that the GOP represents “white supremacy,” “fascism,” “transphobia,” and “semi-fascists,” and Alyssa Farah Griffin has joined panel discussions identifying “Trumpism” as “fascist” and “transphobic.” Whoopi Goldberg has described Trump as a “dictator” and has said that the U.S. was experiencing “pure fascism” with “transphobic” policies. Rosie O’Donnell has referred to Donald Trump as a “creepy fascist” and “Adolf Trump,” and she has said that supporting or working with him made one a “Nazi.” Bernie Sanders has repeatedly called Trump a “racist,” “sexist,” “homophobe,” “xenophobe,” “religious bigot,” and “transphobe,” and has described Trump and the GOP as “evil.” Van Jones has described Trump as a “racist,” a “bigot,” and a “homophobe,” and has accused Trump’s supporters of tolerating “outright neo-Nazis.” 

Noam Chomsky has accused Trump and his supporters of being “science deniers” who are “putting their foot on the accelerator” toward “cataclysm”, and Maxwell Frost has likewise characterized Donald Trump as “a threat to our planet and every future generation.” Bill Maher has called Trump a “fascist” and has accused Trump and his supporters of “talking like Nazis.” Drexel University professor Robert Zaller has described Trump as the “first fascist president” and has often compared him to Hitler, while a Northern Arizona University faculty panel has referred to Trump as a “neo-fascist” and has compared him to “Nazis.”

In 2017, Kathy Griffin made a tasteless joke as she posed with a prop made to resemble the severed head of Donald Trump. Stephen King has called Trump a “horrible person” and a “sociopath,” accusing him of trying to overturn democracy, and has described his presidency as terrifying. Mark Hamill has called Trump a “dictator,” a “malignant narcissist,” and “easily the worst president ever,” likening his actions to those of authoritarian regimes. John Fogerty has accused Trump of “fanning the flames of hatred, racism, and fear,” and has condemned the use of his music by the Trump campaign. John Mellencamp has called Trump a “madman,” and has released politically charged music against Trump and “systemic racism.”

Spike Lee has compared Trump to Hitler and has accused Trump of being a “white supremacist.” John Cusack has called Trump “Hitler-like” and has claimed that fascism is rising under his presidency. Cher has publicly compared Trump to Hitler and has repeatedly warned of authoritarianism. Lea DeLaria has called Trump “Hitler” and has encouraged aggressive resistance. Alicia Machado has described Trump as a “nazi rat,” likening him to Adolf Hitler and accusing him of “bigoted, authoritarian” behavior.

Jon Stewart has routinely connected Trump to Nazis and neo-Nazis, and George Takei has suggested that a Trump presidency threatened to reinstate internment camps in the United States. John Oliver has said of Trump, "He's not just a racist, he's a dangerous authoritarian who threatens the very foundations of our democracy." Likewise, Jimmy Kimmel has called Donald Trump "the most dangerous man to ever run for president in my lifetime," and that "it's unprecedented and deeply troubling." Then, on his late-night show, Kimmel gleefully claimed that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a Trump supporter, part of the “MAGA gang,” a false allegation met with the applause and laughter by his audience.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has called Donald Trump a “fascist,” claiming that it is “not an overstatement” and that Trump exhibits the “characteristics of a dictator and authoritarian,” describing his behavior as “deranged and unhinged”. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has also described Trump as “deranged” and has accused him of inciting violence, claiming his rhetoric puts public officials’ lives in danger and fuels extremism. She has also alleged that “hate groups” hear the President’s words as a “rallying cry” and that Trump is guilty of “inspiring and incentivizing and inciting… domestic terrorism.” And Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly referred to Trump and his supporters as “enemies of the state,” describing the GOP as “domestic terrorists” and repeatedly referring to Trump as a “dictator” and “a threat to democracy.”

And then there is the popular Leftist YouTuber Hasan Piker who recently implored his listeners to “kill those motherf#ckers and murder those motherf#ckers in the street…. Let the streets soak in their f#cking red, capitalist blood!”

Even after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the rhetoric and the lies continued. One unforgivable example, among the torrent of others, came once again from 77-year-old Stephen King, who one might assume at seventy-seven years of age would know better, but who just can’t seem to control the sewage seeping through his lips, and who probably holds the world record for most books sold but sitting on shelves, collecting dust. King’s proven ability to continually one-up himself in the category of stupidity makes it understandable, yet no less reprehensible, that he allowed this comment to escape his mouth: “[Charlie Kirk] advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin.” Of course, apart from the obvious tastelessness of this comment, it just as obviously turned out to be false; but, with the speed of the Internet and the willful ignorance of Leftists biting on anything and everything hateful toward Charlie, in the days following his assassination it had already formed part of the ignorant assault on Charlie’s character and the fabricated fiction around words he never spoke. All of this reveals just more of the same evil and cowardice we’ve known and witnessed all along from those among the Left. All of this proves once again that, in the words of the former Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green, “They are who we thought they were.”

All of these examples showcase just how far Leftists are willing to go to weaponize language, intimidate their detractors, and incite violence through rhetoric; it proves that there is no limit to what they will say or do, and that they will not shy away from destroying their opponents and the lives of their opponents’ friends and families. All of these are obviously highly-inflammatory forms of rhetoric — some more direct than others, some leaving just enough room for plausible deniability, but all distinctly wrong, evil, and out of touch — seeking to stoke not just outrage and contempt but a reactionary response from members of their audience: Democrats, “victims” of “exploitation” and “injustice”, impressionable students (at primarily Democrat-run institutions), and others who live and work alongside the men and women so profanely vilified and inaccurately portrayed. It is no mere coincidence that, after all of the constant rhetoric disparaging Donald Trump and his supporters, the shell casing from the bullet that struck Charlie Kirk in the neck had scrawled on it the words “Hey fascist! Catch!” All of this is all too familiar, as shown by the repeated use of the same language by the talking heads and thought leaders leading the Leftists in their continued assaults on anything and everything remotely American or patriotic.

It is in just this way that their political leaders take up residence in their followers' heads and incite violence, either explicitly by calling for it or through inflammatory rhetoric amounting to the same — poking, prodding, pointing fingers, sounding false alarms, and whipping their followers into a frenzy to the point that the unspeakable happens. 

Yet they predictably turn around and call for ‘peace’ and ‘unity’ when they are finally called to account for their crimes; calls and empty gestures which serve to distract from their war on truth, freedom, and speech. Just as we saw following the various assassination attempts on President Trump, it never takes long for the deceivers to return to their regularly-scheduled programming, to continue their campaigns of libel, slander, and incitement. 

And yet, despite this, they still have the audacity to fancy themselves ‘inclusive’ and ‘tolerant’; an impossibly narrow form of ‘tolerance’, no doubt, ‘tolerant’ of only one general set of outcomes and ideas — if we are even justified in calling them ‘ideas’, given how subjective and poorly defined they are. Rather, these ‘ideas’ are better described as commands or edicts, each assuming compliance and each getting it through the threat of force and the guarantee of jail time, or death, among those who might dare disagree or fall out of line. And, even despite all of this, there remain among us those who still hold out hope that these people might be persuaded by reason. 

Again, it’s not just that ‘peace’ and ‘unity’ can’t work here; it’s that one party insists on attacking the others, and the others justifiably don’t want anything to do with them. It's not just that they are obtuse and incredulous to facts, reason and evidence; it's that they have been groomed to counter these, viscerally and instinctually, through fits of rage, intimidation and violence, compensating for their lack of wisdom with a lack of humanity.

These are just some of the many reasons — political as well as practical — that the United States of America is in desperate need of a redrafting of boundaries and serious consideration of the secession movements that have been building for years; movements which were not only anticipated by America’s Founders as the country expanded, but which were presumed practical and were already in motion in the country’s infancy. Beyond the enhancements to political representation and the mitigation of conflict between inhabitants, another practical side effect of secession in America would be, among those who cherish the freedom of expression, the preservation of free speech and open dialogue, where the first would be less likely to be weaponized domestically and the second would enable communities to rally around shared values and to more peacefully coexist in the enjoyment of speech that is generally constructive, edifying, or otherwise harmless; each offering the further benefit of a higher-trust society and less fear among fellow countrymen, as well as smaller, more manageable social case studies that make it easier to identify the crimes and the faults in society, and thus the errors in, and merits to, each group’s theories and ideals — a situation whereby crimes and culprits, including those hostile to the core values shared within the community, can be handled swiftly and effectively, often through shunning or shaming, banishment or ostracism. 

As it is written in 2 Corinthians 6:14, “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.” Whether it be those who reject Jesus Christ or those who oppose American liberty, let us divorce ourselves from those who reject either, and let it be final; and let us — with prejudice and without reservation — formalize our divorce from those who bring or call for suffering upon us, who have shown time and again that they wish us dead, who continue to wage war against Christians, masculinity, ‘white’ people, and the core values we share as essential to good, honest, and fruitful living. Let us free the reasonable and the goodhearted from the metastasizing cancer of the vacuous and virtueless, and leave the wretched and the unwise to suffer the fate of their own devices, to finally showcase their utopia in all of its unrestrained glory and to feed fully on the poisoned fruit that nourishes their hatred and hostilities. Let us separate from those “whose rash words are like sword thrusts”, in favor of “the tongue of the wise” which “brings healing,” and let us remain convicted and totally committed so that we might finally restore civility, preserve for posterity the bounty of American liberty, and fulfill our obligation to ‘Make America Great Again’. 

While it is true that the right to free speech is absolute, and that it must be preserved for the protection of the individual and the defense of liberty, there are cases when some groups are more, or less, protected than others in the enjoyment of this right; when some groups are selectively spared the consequences of their actions and thereby operate from the benefit of assumed impunity: let us never forget the BLM and Antifa rioters, the assailants and arsonists who were never arrested or tried, or who enjoyed protection under catch-and-release; whose riots were regarded as "mostly peaceful protests" instead of mob violence or 'domestic terrorism'. The double standard in place — which has protected specific groups and demographics for the benefit of political gain, while censoring, canceling, doxxing, and degrading the other citizens either not counted among those demographics or not explicitly aligned with them politically — has in practice meant that some within society enjoy extra social and political privileges, whereas others are held accountable to the laws on the books and still others deemed expedient to 'progress' or 'political correctness'. 

This means that, because of the protections enjoyed and the aggression demonstrated, the implications of some expression are far more serious and far more threatening than others; whereas some expression might assume the qualities of a grievance, other examples might assume the qualities of credible threats and literal battle cries — especially where war has already been waged domestically against one’s culture, rights, and fellow man. Good instincts and honest judgment will generally (though not always) serve in distinguishing between the two. Of course, the combination here of instinct and judgment is not just about identifying credible threats but ultimately in the interest of preserving the lives of loved ones and the cherished cultures and priceless legacies we’ve inherited as blessings from our forebears. We honor our ancestors and our children by preserving these blessings, and those of liberty, for ourselves and posterity. 

As is the challenge before us, there are times when more than mere individuals are set against us, when one of the greatest threats comes from within the institutions once established under the pretense of securing and protecting those blessings. Likewise, there are cases when a political system can no longer maintain its structural integrity to guarantee the protection of such fundamental rights as the right to free expression at the same time it purports to protect others, namely those to life and property; and this is particularly the case where the inhabitants have lost the congenial qualities that made it possible for them to coexist in the first place. Ultimately, free speech as an absolute is feasible where countrymen at minimum enjoy equal protection under the law and share in their core values and in their mutual respect for life, liberty, and property. Where one particular segment of society enjoys “protected” status and has demonstrated the capacity for ‘mob justice’, where that segment of society scoffs at the others’ core values, promotes or condones abortion and lampoons death and assassination, mocks liberty as “freedumb”, and rallies for ever higher taxes on and redistribution of property, there is not only a distinct incompatibility between peoples but a political system that has lost the requisite structural integrity to guarantee equal protection in the exercise of rights — a system democratic in its processes, but one that depends on a shared moral substrate, without which procedural rights become not only untenable but actively destabilizing. As John Adams famously put it, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” 

What’s more, in any society crawling with enough evildoers, the space for free speech will eventually be so monopolized and bastardized by agitators that it will not only give ‘free speech’ a bad name but will progressively punish the decent and respectable people who’ve considered themselves principled for tolerating the insanity and the wickedness but who’ve neglected to even consider the requisite substrate for a free and virtuous society; and not only have they neglected that, but they appear oblivious to the fact, or otherwise unwilling to face it, that we are at war (and we have been for some time) — both culturally and physically — with adversaries who want to eliminate us and our ideas, and who’ve already proven their intention and their capacity to destroy. As a matter of good practice, of course, it hardly makes sense to extend to them the same protections and the same guarantees, so far as rights are concerned, as if this is peacetime, as if they are merely fellow Americans. It’s time to be intentional in identifying the enemies and to focus exclusively on doing our duty to ensure that our children and grandchildren don’t inherit this war, when they’ll be faced with even greater challenges and logistical hurdles in the event that we should fail. 

So, while it is true that the right to free speech is absolute, there are cases when the exercise of that right threatens to destroy: just as the velocity of money corresponds with decadence in a degenerate society, so too does free speech threaten to corrupt minds and civilizations, to incite and habituate people to violence, to coordinate and rally decentralized actors who are otherwise unofficially affiliated (and who can thereby be said to represent ‘isolated events’ that are obviously, just not officially, connected); and this is particularly problematic where those people — the ones expressing vitriol and the others on the receiving end who are called to “love thy enemy” — are expected (as citizens under the same political jurisdictions) to coexist despite the most slanderous, libelous, and inaccurate of expressions, and despite the most crucial of irreconcilable differences that bring about targeted violence through individuals, or through systemic oppression by way of government, to punish adversaries or (less commonly) to resolve issues that would be more effectively reconciled through peaceful political separation. 

The truth is that there are simply too many irreconcilable cultural differences between Americans now numbering greater than three hundred and forty million in population, across a landmass measuring nearly four million square miles in size; and this is especially so considering the active atheists and the anti-deists who lend pseudo-intellectual basis for the betrayal of morality; the so-called “anti-fascists” and the “mostly peaceful” rioters and murderers in the name of Black Lives Matter who are dead set on the destruction of civilization; the instinctual Leftists who play into the hands of cunning politicians and the political Zionists who control or influence social and cultural affairs through industry, politics, art, media, and education; or that which condenses into anti-American collectives ignorant of, if not outright hostile towards, ideas of individual initiative and personal responsibility, American history and heritage, the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States, and the sacred traditions and values of the millions of faithful Protestant and Orthodox Christian families across America, whose meekness, obedience, whose Divine Commandment to “love thy enemy”, and whose general reluctance to get caught up in the morass, render them uniquely susceptible to unrepentant schemers, fraudsters, and evildoers.

Thus, it appears that the only viable option remaining, so far as talk is concerned, is to freshen up on French and tell the insane to “f#ck off” every chance we get; to drive out the scoffers and the self-condemned who decline instruction, resist responsibility, and reject correction, and to finally declare our independence from the abject inanity and insanity which are currently on full display. And let me be clear: the insane are the people who have a disclaimer, a qualifier, a gotcha, an excuse, or some wiggly, whiny reaction (i.e. “Well, he was controversial…”) to such overt displays of evil as the assassination of Charlie Kirk — a man who made his top priorities in life his faith, his family, his love of Christ and country, his emphasis of family values, his championing of “the return of the American family”, and his passion for education, free speech and open dialogue.

It is high time that we reclaim our country and restore our culture, through art, media, politics, literature, education, and an emphasis on faith and family. It is time that we get organized and remain determined to systematically dismantle the institutions that subsidize the actions and amplify the voices of the unreasonable, through which Leftist agitators have long succeeded in destabilizing society and fomenting violence. It is equally essential that we know to anticipate more of the same violence from among the same dregs of society who will resist, who will continue to lie, steal, cheat, and commit any and every sin, and betray all reason and rationality, to resist truth and accountability. 

While tit-for-tat justice might sound appealing, the truth is that there is no particular individual on the Left worth our time. What we have in America is a roach infestation, so the fact of the matter is that it would be irrational to squash just one and call it a victory. That would not only betray a misunderstanding of the actual problems; it might diminish the legacy of a man unmatched in every way by his every opponent on the Left. It makes more sense to turn on all the lights and start cleaning house, to, as I say, systematically dismantle the institutions harboring the thought leaders, subsidizing the actions and amplifying the voices of the unreasonable, and planting among us the seeds of gradual destruction.

People too often say, even now, that violence isn’t the answer. Well, yes, it is, when you’re dealing with unrepentant mobs who don’t care about life, liberty, or property, and who, with virtual impunity, carry out their own forms of violence and destruction in the name of “social justice” — mobs operating either through government or under its protection, bolstering and radicalizing their ranks through the institutions under their influence and condemning as ‘racists’, ‘nationalists’ or ‘domestic terrorists’ any and all who resist, disagree, or sound the alarm. 

All of this simply affirms that, where they advertise ‘unity’ they ultimately seek subordination. All of this affirms that, where men and women refuse to be silenced, intimidated, or shouted down, where they dare to entertain or profess an unpopular or ‘politically-incorrect’ opinion, or where they refuse to cave or capitulate under the pressure to conform, violence is not only possible but promised by the mobs that think and operate just as the name would suggest. Likewise, violence is their preferred language; so, in order to communicate with them, we must speak it. This is especially so in the event that their enablers continually elude justice, often by redefining it.

Yes, violence is not only acceptable in these cases; it is necessary. I cite John Stuart Mill and Ecclesiastes in my 2024 treatise Death by Socialism to bolster this point: war is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things… there is a time to kill and a time to heal. Needless to say, the time for reason isn’t even in the rearview mirror anymore.

Today being September 11th, it is important to note that 9/11 remains (and will forever remain) a defining moment of my life. Among the various dates of particular meaning to me throughout the year, September 11th is a date that I never forget to mark on my mental calendar; it’s a time when I remember to reflect on the 2,977 men and women who perished, their families and loved ones, and the ways in which our lives forever changed. This September 11th, we once again had the heartache of having lost an American at the hands of sheer evil, another father, husband, and this time one of the strongest patriotic voices in America. As with September 11th, I will never forget the sorrow and significance of September 10th, and each of us must do the same so that we never forget just how much we’ve lost to the real evils mobilizing in our midst, just what it means to be a true American, just what it means to genuinely care about something other than ourselves, and just what it means to stand up for what’s right, especially when so much is on the line and so much among us is so wrong.

Like countless millions of other Americans, the news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination has completely broken my heart, and the footage and memory of those public moments between him and his children, him and his wife, are heartbreaking. The footage of Charlie’s casket being carried from Air Force Two makes this all the more real.

This is not a game, not a TV series or a YouTube production. A flesh-and-blood human being, a daddy, a father, a man of God and a special soul, was brutally assassinated. The sadness is beyond description, especially when considering the weight of the loss suffered by two little children who loved their daddy and rushed into his arms whenever they saw him. Any good and loving parent knows just how precious this is, and just how evil it is that all of this was quickly taken away in an instant by an assassin’s bullet — just how evil it is that some people under a certain political persuasion either don’t care or find amusement in this. This is not just evil but the absolute epitome of it. Those who describe it in any lesser terms are the types who can’t be bothered with definitions and principles, or can’t be held to them; and, whether they realize it or not, they are not just accessories to evil but evildoers themselves.

All of this is so very hard to swallow, not just because of the man we lost, his indelible influence on young and patriotic Americans, and his unrealized potential, not just because of the family torn apart and the futures forever changed, but also because of what it reveals about what we are apparently expected to accept about the people among us who don’t care nearly as much as they should, who don’t care at all, or who are gleeful at the loss. Our continued presence in society is enough to imply acceptance; it is enough to suggest that we can resume life as "normal", that we will continue to manage in a society of evildoers who not only wish death upon us, or people like us, but who do so openly and without hesitation, who have no respect for our beliefs or our faiths and who have time and again demonstrated their capacity for violence wherever they disagree or disapprove, or (more commonly) wherever they’ve been instructed to direct their life’s discontent — and that is precisely the message sent in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a man who practiced and championed civil discourse among all. This is the message sent to those who might dare to think for themselves, who thus dare to consider themselves free and independent, who have already faced so much pressure to keep their mouths shut and their opinions to themselves, but who’ve just been reminded of what consequences might be in store for them if they dare to disobey. 

It is in this way that the assassination of Charlie Kirk is the assassination of free speech. 

Our survival then, in the truest sense, relies on harnessing our righteous anger and our hardened determination to tolerate no more. Indeed, so much more than our survival depends on it.

My hope is that all true-blood Americans will stay angry long enough to make certain that we will not continue with the status quo. My hope is that all true-blood Americans heed wisdom and act on it; that they will stay alert and will be prepared when the time for reckoning finally comes — and let it come in our time so that our children and grandchildren might eventually know peace and sanity in theirs. 

The sophists and the brainwashers who’ve instigated this, who’ve for so long called for violence against us Patriots, parents and independent thinkers, who’ve made countless jokes about murdering President Trump and bringing violence to conservatives and MAGA supporters, mustn’t be allowed to get away with this; they mustn’t be allowed to start the fight without consequences, to succeed in their stated mission of bringing pain and death to the men and women in our ranks, and they mustn’t be extended any mercy for their hollow condolences now, just when they’re called to account for the violence they’ve condoned, encouraged, or flat out demanded all this time.

They need to know that we’ve been listening and that judgment day is upon them for what they’ve said and what they’ve caused. And, as true-blood Americans, we need to assure them that our first priority is justice and that their rhetoric around ‘unity’, their shield in their moment of need, won’t protect them anymore — we don’t want their company, and we don’t associate with evildoers. 

As for those among us who have long assumed the best about the agitators and abusers who wish ill upon us, as for those among us who have foolishly extended to them the benefit of the doubt or an unsolicited olive branch, or who have long considered their words “hyperbolic” and their intense rhetoric an expression of style, strategy, or plain ignorance, you have clearly overestimated the character of those who wish us ill and you have evidently underestimated the threat they pose to life, liberty, and property.

The facts are clear: the time for reason has long since passed, and so too has any chance at peaceful reconciliation. The Left has made sure of this. It's up to us to decide what's next. It’s time to make things right.
