I never heard of Charlie Kirk until he became famous by getting shot dead. Kind of like that George Floyd guy, a total nobody drug addict and criminal who died while getting arrested and the blacks used that as an excuse to riot.
Charlie Kirk was apparently the darling of the Far Religious Right, who gave speeches I never heard at venues I never tuned in on because I’m not one of the religious fanatics that obviously adored him. I say adored because of the overblown reaction among all the Very Righteous over his death. Trump made a big deal out of it, he ordered the flags across the nation, at military posts and at embassies to remain flown at half-staff for 3 days and a Moment of Silence for Kirk was held on the floor of the House of Representatives. Broken, by the way, when some women Leftists started yelling.
Anyway, since he’s suddenly the primary subject of Whatfinger, the right-wing mostly political news aggregator, I took the time and trouble to listen to a few of his speeches, including when he publicly debated Tyler Robinson, the guy who ended up shooting him.
On that occasion, he was rude, insulting, obnoxious and abusive toward Robinson. Beyond that, he clearly expressed his attitude that if a woman became pregnant for any reason, she should be forced to carry the pregnancy to full term even if it medically endangered her life. In this regard, his stance was that women have no rights at all. His religion-based morality was the only morality and not only all women but all people everywhere should adhere to it.
Listening to him speak, I wasn’t taken in by Charlie. Charlie was all-in for Charlie, he was gaining fame and power and clearly reveled in it. This was no gentle follower of Jesus, spreading peace and brotherly love. This was someone seeking domination.
The man was intractable, he had no humility whatever. What he did have was a great deal of charisma and the implacable determination of a Nazi. He would have made a great dictator and if he hadn’t been murdered, I’ve no doubt that he would have risen to great heights in the US government. I can easily see him as a future President/Dictator, and if it were up to me, I’d commit Tyler Robinson to a mental facility for treatment rather than send him to prison. He may have just done the world a far greater favor than anyone will ever know.
