Like a lot of people, I first came across Charlie Kirk when YouTube’s algorithm started showing me short clips of him dismantling woke Leftists at university campuses.
Kirk used politeness combined with simple logic and reason to demonstrate what we all already knew: the Left has no idea what they’re talking about!
That’s because everything to the Left is in the eye of the beholder. What is a woman? It’s whatever they want it to be, i.e. “anyone who identifies as a woman”.
What is racist? Whatever they say is racist. What is “hate speech”? Whatever they say it is. What is offensive? Whatever they say it is.
And most importantly, what is the truth? Whatever they say it is… at the time that they say it. Because, just as in Orwell’s dystopian classic 1984, the Left constantly changes ‘the truth’ without ever acknowledging that they moved the goalposts.
Remember when Joe Biden was “sharp and commanding” and anyone who disagreed was a right-wing conspiracy nut? Remember when the Left canceled people off the Internet for saying that people with the vaccine could still get Covid?
The list goes on and on. The Left makes iron-clad assertions about what’s true, demands everyone’s obeisance… then suddenly reverses itself and acts like their new position has been ‘the truth’ all along.
Charlie Kirk was one of the many voices who called them out, and who realized that the Left would humiliate itself if you just ask them simple questions.
Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana summarized this approach when talking about AOC: “Our plan for dealing with her is called Operation Let Her Speak.” And they’re absolutely correct – the Left doesn’t need any help in proving itself naive, corrupt, ignorant, and destructive.
And herein lies the problem: even after they’re exposed, defeated, and humiliated… despite failure after abject failure, the Left refuses to re-examine its belief system. They double down on the same policies. They shriek, howl, and rage even harder.
Sometimes it’s petty. Kirk’s videos often showed flummoxed Leftists shouting puerile insults at him – “Yeah? Well, you’re ugly!”. The formerly funny Southpark panned Kirk this season as a “master debater”, i.e. Kirk didn’t fight fair because he was too intelligent, as if that’s some sort of disease.
But sometimes the Left’s hysteria is far more sinister.
After the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska – clearly a result of their failed DEI and woke justice policies– the Left rallied around… the murderer.
From Van Jones’s emotional soliloquy on CNN in defense of the killer, to multiple GoFundMe campaigns to pay for his legal expenses, the Left wept more for the criminal than the victim.
And everyone noticed.
Zarutska’s horrific murder lit a fuse: the Left is imploding. They know it. Charlie Kirk knew it.
But like a wounded animal, the Left is desperately striking back. They’re driven by a moral indignation that justifies everything… including the most horrific violence… because they believe their defeat will result in the end of the world.
(This is such a bizarre view given that their own policies – from massive handouts to homeless people to idiotic green mandates to open borders to defunding the cops to bowing to the unions to decriminalizing shoplifting to zero-bail justice, etc. etc. have truly destroyed some of America’s great cities…)
A deranged lunatic murdered innocent children at a Catholic school two weeks ago, believing it was justified to snuff out future conservatives. The Left closed ranks and blamed gun control laws.
They did the same after Charlie Kirk’s shocking assassination yesterday – the Left closed ranks and blamed everything from Donald Trump to January 6th.
Naturally they make grand statements condemning political violence, insisting that it comes from “both sides”. They also claim that the “majority” of political violence comes from “right wing extremists”.
(And Congress’s newest inspired idiot, Jasmine Crockett, recently claimed that “80% of the most violent crimes in our country are white supremacy.”)
But we all know that’s BS.
Van Jones is on CNN night after night calling every White person in America racist. But he’s able to walk the streets safely and go home to his family every day. Ditto for the chorus of inspired idiots on the View, or MSNBC, or all the other discord factories in the media.
Despite the Right’s outrage over Zarutska’s murder, there are no “mostly peaceful” protests in Charlotte, North Carolina. No flash mobs. No looting. No rioting. No lawlessness. Shopkeepers aren’t boarding up their stores and abandoning the city center to anarchy.
Same for Kirk’s assassination. There are no riots across America. There are vigils. The Left “peacefully protests”. The Right prays.
I fielded a lot of phone calls yesterday from people who needed to fume about Kirk’s murder. We were all shocked. Still are. And the knee-jerk reaction is to say, “I f*cking hate the Left.”
A lot of people believed Kirk would one day become a great President. And now he’s lost to martyrdom.
I don’t get into these sorts of things very much at all… but many people with Charlie Kirk’s Judeo-Christian values believe wholeheartedly that each of us has a purpose. Call it what you will – God, the Universe, karma, whatever. Charlie Kirk certainly believed that.
And I believe that his tragic death, whether divinely intended or not, will serve a purpose… in that countless people on the Left will be shaken from their party and from their belief system.
They’ll see their own comrades celebrating Kirk’s murder, their political and media leadership exposed as pure evil, their own extremists killing more children. And they’ll finally wake up and walk away from the toxic ideas that are destroying America.
For a man whose entire life was devoted to restoring the republic, that may be his greatest and most lasting gift.
To your freedom,
