OPINION:
There are a lot of brokenhearted people in this country who are now mourning the senseless murder of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA (“‘Out of control’: Charlie Kirk assassination blamed on growing left-wing violence,” Web, Sept. 10).
This young man was a teacher of the younger generations, and he took it upon himself at the age of 18 to give his contemporaries a direction in life.
Millions of his followers were taught that they had a right to challenge those who tried to convince them that God and life were bad and democracy should be abolished.
His murderer has ignited a powder keg, exploding in the face of all those Trump-hating miscreants. His supporters will unite to defeat the pursuers of evil and darkness.
I am a former lawman and disabled Marine Vietnam War veteran. I listened to what those on Fox News, friends of Kirk, had to say about fighting the far left and its corrupt ideology. If we don’t stamp out the hatred perpetrated by such politicians and their cohorts in the far-left news media, we as a country will be killing one another until the end of time.
We must arrest and remove from positions of authority these violence-inciting politicians and their conspirators, who are working to brainwash those easily led to commit murder, thinking they have the right.
As an independent voter, I have watched for decades as Democrats have gotten away with lying while committing acts of sedition and treason to undermine our conservative leaders.
Under Presidents Obama and Biden, the people of this country were conned into believing that we should pick sides, pitting race against race and the poor against the rich. We are divided as Americans no longer; we are “one nation under God.”
