The psychology of the Charlie Kirk memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, will forever change America. While I disagree with Erika Kirk, as she said she forgave her husband’s killer, I’m not that kind of person. It might be a good “Christian” thing to do, but when it comes to professional religions, that’s where my off ramp is. I might share values with people who have deep religious convictions, but I am not humble or forgiving. And as I said recently in answer to what many tried to point out to me in the wake of the Charlie Kirk murder, I simply love war, fighting, and destroying enemies. And I don’t want to live in a world, or in an everlasting state in Heaven, where I am not at war with my enemies and destroying them for the injustice they do in the world. I would be bored to death. But I get what she and the more than 277,000 people who filled up the football stadium and the surrounding area where the Arizona Cardinals play NFL games were thinking. It was one of the most significant public memorials for a public political figure in history, and the impact of that violence had changed the American consciousness. Many millions more people watched the proceedings all over the world, and it’s safe to say that life will never be the same after the murder and brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk. Forgiveness is not appropriate. But it’s a nice gesture. For people seeking meaning in their lives and who had been considering organized religion, I think this event gave them a reason to take the plunge, and that America changed for the better in the wake of the tragedy. Almost as if the whole terrible thing were part of God’s plan all along.
But let’s talk about the many firings that have been going on of teachers and other public officials working for the government who have been celebrating this assassination. We almost came to this point with President Trump when he was nearly shot in the same way at Butler, Pennsylvania. Nobody should celebrate a murder of another person. If the shoe were on the other foot, I wouldn’t celebrate the killing of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, or anybody I can’t stand in politics. The people celebrating the killing of a really good person in Charlie Kirk have no redeeming value. They aren’t worth saving, or working with. And any notions that Democrats had about living in a coexistence under government with such radical notions of right and left politics are now over. They crossed a line, and people will never want to work with them again, because they showed themselves for what they really are: terrible people out for the destruction of the human race. And perpetuators of a vile evil that deserves to be eradicated from society. If there is any good that came from this horrendous murder, it is because of people’s unified reaction to it in a mass way. There aren’t many people who could fill a stadium like that for a memorial service, and the silent majority that has always been out there has some extreme opinions on the matter. Religion might tell them to forgive the vile creatures of evil disposition. Erika Kirk might not have room in her grief to nurture conditions that combat evil itself. But America will never go back to what it was, a country with a high tolerance for different beliefs, even if those beliefs were destructive and vile, as many of the thoughts of Democrats are. There has always been an assumption of tolerance that has now been ripped away.
It’s not a free speech protection to disclose to the world as a school teacher that you support violence where a public assassination took place, and to expect to keep their jobs. It is a statement of what a lowlife the protestor is, and we don’t want to share space with those kinds of people. We don’t want to see them at the grocery store. We don’t want to work with them. We don’t want our kids going to school with them and sharing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We don’t want to know about their dumb parents or their lives in any way. We don’t want to share elections with them where they vote for open communists and socialists for political offices. We have reached a breaking point, where, for too many years, we have been too forgiving of terrible people, and we have watched as they have grown in confidence in working against America’s values, to the point where it has made us miserable. And while forgiveness is an admirable trait, I think of Joshua and the wrath of Yahweh in these kinds of times, and I don’t believe the father of Jesus wants such horrible people to continue to exist, and that we are justified to eliminate them from our lives because they are beyond redemption. We may not go out and slaughter them all under the sword and put their heads on a pike for people to spit on, which is what my advice would be if I were talking at the Charlie Kirk memorial. But we certainly don’t want to pay them with public money to do jobs in government if that is how they really feel. The times of live and let live are now over.
The corruption of the Israelites after the conquest of Canaan, as the Book of Judges begins to explore, especially in the story of Samson and Delilah, who he sought to use as an excuse to love, comes to mind. You cannot unify with treachery. They will seek to take away your strength at every juncture and to blind you to observe their vast evil by cutting out your eyes. And they do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. And when the Jewish people failed to kill the evil doers in their society as God had instructed, and let them hang around and live in a shared space with them, God punished them many times over with their destruction. Because they didn’t listen. History has many Jezebels who became entangled in evil because society did not apply justice to their wicked deeds, and many people suffered unjustly as a result. And I think the Charlie Kirk memorial was the end of the line for that mistaken approach over many thousands of years. And that evil showed itself in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, and we have decided we don’t like it. And we don’t want to employ them. We don’t want to share a country with them. We don’t want them clogging up our jails and our welfare system. There is no saving such evil, and now that we know what they really think in polite society, it’s time not to be so courteous. And this isn’t a time for forgiveness. It’s a time to draw a line in the sand and not share the earth with such evil people who cannot be reasoned with. We can’t live with cancer cells taking over our body and we can’t have people with such hate that killed Charlie Kirk roaming around our streets and sharing a box of chicken nuggets with us at a local Dairy Queen. And the judgments that are about to come are healthy and correct. But not forgivable.
