I don’t know if anyone fought as hard as you did day after day, campus after campus, schooling and winning over the younger generations for Trump. I watched all your streams and learned so much from you. Thank you, Charlie. 👏🏻🙌🏻♥️ pic.twitter.com/nJcvPrFXTa

Charlie Kirk was what Rush Limbaugh might have called “an American Original”. An American Original, according to my understanding, is what America would be if America were a single person, instead of a nation–an individual human being instead of an individual country.

What if the impulse for liberty, disciplined by virtue, were a person, instead a “national spirit?” What if the impulse to replace language with violence were a human being, instead of a “national spirit.” What if the rights to property, freedom, life, and Christian Salvation were one man, instead of “the principles of a nation.”

My considered guess is Charlie Kirk.

He was Christ-obsessed; he married young, had children, made himself millions of dollars through honest work, cultivated the practice of civil debate, and through his activism, ensured the election of the most representative politician since Ronald Reagan.

His murder was sinful in the sense of anti-Godly, or Satanic, but it was also symbolic.

It articulated all of the contradictions of the Left, showing them to be versions of bizarre irrationality: an ideology which enabled the murder of a civil debater is calling for “civil debate”; the ideology which explains away its enemies as “Nazis, Fascists, garbage, deplorables” is pleading: tone down the rhetoric.

Do not say to us “Lord, Lord”; by fruits we will know you.

Civilization exists to the extent that language has replaced physical violence as the primary means of organizing and uniting people, and resolving their disputes. On Sep. 10, violence replaced language, so it is TECHNICALLY correct to say Leftism is a form of barbarism.

The response to this evil is predictable from the left, stellar advocate of wickedness that it is (abortion, transgenderism, etc).

What must be calibrated is the response from the right.

There will be the few, the tone deaf, who babble about “prudence”, restraint, caution. There will be the few who return us nothing but platitudes.

We must make sure the few are not the powerful.

The problem is not rhetoric. American politics has always involved verbal aggression; it has not always involved an explanation of why one’s political enemies have the moral worth of Adolf Hitler or Joseph Goebbels.

Leftism is, per se, a justification of violence. Any Leftist who isn’t committing violence is someone who has not followed their beliefs to a logical conclusion.

What must follow, nevertheless, is a suppression of barbarism.

Here is my unoriginal list: seizing the assets of BLM and ANTIFA; RICO prosecution of George Soros et al; mass firings of those who celebrate, condone, justify, contextualize, or excuse the idea that difference of opinion is a capital crime (i.e. the re-invention of polite society); total legal accountability for those (ANTIFA) who have instructed others in terror tactics, led terror tactics seminars, or recruited others for the purpose of domestic terrorism.

That will be a beginning.

Regarding the caution-mongers, allow me to translate: shut up and wait for the next assassination.

We will not wait. We will not be cautious. We will institutionalize the truth so belligerently, our enemies will want to kill us.

Then we will be worthy of Charlie Kirk’s legacy.

Then we will have honored him.
