He was the best of us.

Agree with your assessment of the left and also your philosophy about coexisting. What if he wasn’t killed by someone on the left? Maybe someone who wanted the two sides to escalate.

I agree with your point-Pointing a finger at the left when it may not be true. What does that make me guilty of? Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding- comes to mind.

If the goal was to escalate conflict in this country the odds are the shooter succeeded.

Some people really do just want to see the world burn. Whether such people are distinguishable from the political left is debatable.

From the party/movement/subculture that gave us the “coexist” bumper sticker we see nothing but violence, suppression and gaslighting. “Coexist” to the core of the progressive movement really means “submit to our ideology or else”. The murder of Charlie Kirk is just another taunt from the left toward the right to try to push the right to resort to violence so that the left and its media strongholds can finally, finally shout “SEE! We told you they were violent!”. To those on the right, hold strong and act with restraint. This moment hurts. It really hurts. Charlie fostered and promoted open discourse. Do that. Talk to your political “opponents” be they friend, family or neighbor. Debate. Disagree. Show the morons pulling the strings that we aren’t playing their game anymore.

A challenge that people fail to perceive is that death is an equality of outcome, as many of these lunatic fringe seek to impose upon the majority of reasonable human beings. The driver is that those who are Jesus followers who are certain of their accession to Heaven tend to fear God more than Men. It would be similar to the Mohammedan attitude of engaging in war. The difference is that Jesus followers fight for love and seek peace with the dominion of the Judeo Christian God over all, and even offer the opposition the opportunity to accept Jesus as Savior and achieve Heaven. If one does not accept Jesus, one damns oneself. Liberals are more centered with the human being as superior without considering the existence of deities, and not accepting of a Heaven or Hell. Liberals want to stay alive because upon death, they cease.

My heart grieves for Charlie Kirk and his family. While he is now embracing Jesus, as one day I shall do myself when my time on the Earth is complete per the decision of God, Charlie Kirk family has lost a son, brother, husband, father, uncle, nephew, and other roles that Charlie had. Indeed, we add Charlie Kirk to the list of those martyred for the cause of Jesus Christ. He is also now a martyr for the cause of America and the United States Constitution. I have long hoped that I would safely and cozily be deceased before the next bloody war conflict within our Nation. In any war, both sides lose. War is not a solution, but a process to force the losers to accept the peace of the winners. It is not merely loss of life and limb, but of character.

War is Hell.

War may also be inevitable.

I want peace, but if progressives will only be content with the peace of the grave, what choice have we but to put them there?
