As noted in an earlier post, my knowledge of Charlie Kirk was little beyond occasional clips of short interviews or noteworthy exchanges with campus students. He was clearly smart and well-mannered.  I never saw him exhibit the nut-case venom one regularly sees from the Jacobin caste (remember, they want their “revolution” and they want it now).

After Kirk’s assasination I began watching several past debates and the reactions various people had of his passing. Clearly those that knew him well really liked him.  Even among those who disagreed with him, he appeared to be respected (e.g. Bill Maher).  Like all significant “news” events, coverage will fade over time but, for now, I’m struck by the increasing intensity of people’s reactions to his death.  He really does appear to have been a sincere and decent person.  

The “opposition” are now showing their true colors, with insane and rabid vitriol complete with the expected fabrications regarding what Kirk believed or said.  He was definitely a conservative, something that, in itself, shouldn’t be a problem anymore than being a “liberal” (never to be confused with leftist).  As far as I’ve seen thus far, I see no evidence of his being an “Extreme ultra far right wing fascist Nazi white supremicist.”  Of course now, anyone who isn’t fully on board with a communist coup d' ètat is branded that or worse.  The callousness of some responses to his assasination have been horrid.  In each case I’ve seen, the person spewing their hatred toward Charlie Kirk has inevitably added supposed stances and statements completely fabricated.  Among them, for example, Stephan King’s absurd imaginary quote of Kirk saying that gays should be “stoned to death.”  King later had to apologise when it was clear that Charlie Kirk had never uttered or suggested such nonsense.  In addition to projection, the pathological left has a thing for the straw man. In their paranoid fantasyland, anyone favoring tradition, security and prosperity is a spawn of the Third Reich.  Kirk’s suspected assassin had apparently scratched an Italian Antifa slogan on the weapon he used.  …Antifa, there’s a surprise. They really are an evil bunch. Supposedly “fighting fascism” they’re the epitome of violent fascist authoritarian thought (and action).  Can one imagine what kind of a world we’d be living in with these people in charge.

I’m sure many are turned off by the religious references surrounding Kirk and his death.  He doesn’t seem to have possessed the hypocricy so often found among the religious.  He actually possessed a rare balance between genuine conviction without the prudishness one so often finds when hearing Christian references.  Watching his wife’s brief comments after his death was moving — trying to answer her daughter when she wondered where “daddy is.”  

I’m sick of the many articles currently about describing Kirk as “right wing firebrand,” “controversial,” or “extreme….”  The transparent dishonesty of the media has become sickening.

He was obviously a unique individual at least worthy of respect at his passing.  A nice guy with a wife and two kids.
