If he and all of the other defendants had been degraded perverts, if all of the leaders of the Third Reich had been sadistic monsters and maniacs, then these events would have no more moral significance than an earthquake, or any other natural catastrophe. But this trial has shown that under a national crisis, ordinary, even able and extraordinary men, can delude themselves into the commission of crimes so vast and heinous that they beggar the imagination.
Screenplay, Judgment at Nuremberg (1961)
It would be bad enough if the murder of Charlie Kirk were being celebrated by a few anonymous ghouls on the internet. But that is not the case. The people doing this devils’ business include many teachers, doctors, nurses, lawyers, elected Democrats, people who would in sane times be regarded as pillars of their communities. Our society has a sickness unto death that can only be cured by Christ.
It was interesting to hear the views of other Christians while partaking in yesterday’s rally in Lansing. Strangers speaking of the final battle and the second coming of Christ.
From the CNA archives;
Cardinal Caffarra explained that Saint John Paul II had commissioned him to plan and establish the Pontifical Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family. At the beginning of this work, the cardinal wrote a letter to Sister Lucia of Fatima through her bishop, since he could not do it directly.
“Inexplicably, since I did not expect a reply, seeing as I had only asked for her prayers, I received a long letter with her signature, which is now in the archives of the Institute,” the Italian cardinal said.
“In that letter we find written: ‘The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about Marriage and the Family.’ Don’t be afraid, she added, because whoever works for the sanctity of Marriage and the Family will always be fought against and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue. Then she concluded: ‘nevertheless, Our Lady has already crushed his head’.”
Interesting how this battle is playing out.
Family. Marriage.
I would have to agree with the Protestants that were standing next to me, that these just might be the times of an end to an era. I doesn’t matter to me since my life is 3/4 or more in the history books. To our family at large it matters very much. Having St. Peter look at me and say; Hey. What happened? Where is the cargo?
That cargo is our neighbor’s soul.
But St. Peter, I have invested in my talent.
St Peter; Yes but you were given 10 and you have only brought back 12. Where is the other 8?
The leftists have their (b)ible of sorts.
They have their own golden rule.
They have chosen poorly.
If we do only one thing this week for Christ, let it be working for the salvation of just one more.
A sacrifice. A prayer. A extended hand of peace while they spit on you. Just one more Lord. Use me to bring back just one more.
There is a silver lining.
Millions who once thought the Left was just stupid.. with their open-border, abortive and transgender ideologies, and their false cry’s of “racist”, “hater” and “fascist”… now see the Left as malevolent. Which is what their actions are, whether they realize it or not.
It’s amazing how quiet Catholic leaders and social media have been about this. Some have definitely joined with the ‘he shouldn’t have been murdered, but…’ approach. Other are just silent.
I’m a participant in one forum with a claque of leftists and a lurker in another. These are street-level Democrats. They’re all playing DARVO cards.

The Queen of DARVO is the most widely circulated Substacker in the United States, a dame named Heather Cox Richardson. She’s a history professor at Boston College. She’s pushing the meme that Tyler Robinson is something other than a leftist based on nothing.

This so sad to say about Charlie Kirk whose punch was as soft as a feather. People are literally making things up to create a false narrative. Comparing Charlie Kirk to a group of people who exterminated innocent civilians in gas chambers is revolting.
Democrats believe that abortion, sodomy, and transgenderism are inherent human rights, so when someone like Charlie Kirk argues against their false ideology, no matter how much logic and with how much kindness such an individual uses in his dialogue, he is regarded as a Nazi who hates freedom and must at any cost be defeated. Democrats believe that they are righteous in this and thus, what they do by killing their opposition is not murder in their eyes, but protection against an assault on Democracy itself. There is no convicing these people with reason that they are completely mistaken because in their self-righteousness they cannot conceive of such a thing. This country cannot survive intact with people holding such views. The Democrats have rejected the dialogue in which they once said they believed. They will not stop their violence because they believe it is their duty given by God to preserve Democracy by protecting abortion, sodomy, and transgenderism. We can even rightly call them evil, but they do not view themselves as evil; rather, in their eyes we are the evil ones for opposing “a woman’s right to choose,” “the right of two homosexuals to marry,” and “the right of a person to choose his or her own sex or gender.” This is sadly not going to end well, and the Carthaginian solution that they wish to apply to us may need to be their own eventual fate.
This all started with “my truth, your truth.” Once you deny the fact that there is objective truth, anything is not only possible but probable.
The following quotation about the Spanish Civil War comes closer to reality in the USA every day. God help us.
“At long last, we simply couldn’t stand each other any more.”
It’s important to remember that there are two classes in the democrat party: the brainwashers and the brainwashed.
The brainwashers have the same attitude as demons do to truth, honor and reason: they are aware that normal people value them and thus will pretend to care about them in their arguments, but in reality they despise all three. So you can’t convince them or shame them.
The brainwashed do care about truth, honor and reason, but they have been so inundated with propaganda that their view of the world is completely distorted. I recently saw one of them say “the only reason people are calling the left’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death extreme is because the modern US is so insanely far-right is that what should be a center position is considered extreme left.”
I think that the guy saying it was honest, but think of what he really means. He believes that in a “normal” world brutally killing Christian family men in public would be a “moderate” position. Imagine what he considers a “non-extreme” leftwing position.
It’s difficult for us to believe that anyone could honestly feel that way. But as conservatives, we regularly encounter opposing viewpoints. They appear on TV, on the news, from teachers, etc. We have friends, relatives, coworkers, acquaintances from church, etc. who will not hesitate in putting forth leftist platitudes. But on the left it is very easy to only encounter TV shows, news reports, websites, etc. that support your views. You don’t even really have to try to do it. And once you become known as the guy who hyperventilates any time leftism is questioned, you will either lose your non-leftist friends or at least any non-leftists will keep their mouths shut when dealing with you. So you achieve a world where nearly every hour of every day leftism is being enforced, and your only reminder that not everyone in the world believes these things is an occasional freakout that people like Charlie Kirk have the wrong opinions. In such an environment the programmed reaction is not the normal “well of course people who disagree with me exist” but rather “only an irredeemable monster who must be killed would disagree with me!” And the saddest part is that people in that environment can’t even realize how unhinged they are.
Rudolph Harrier-
Spot. On.
Will the (momentary?) resolve of many to now speak the truth to the left be the end of the echo chamber or the straw that breaks what remains of leftist restraint. That’s the $1M question…
Frankly, that Spanish quote has been haunting me for several years if watching how things were going. I used to be able to sigh and put it back in its box. The box is broken.
We, the people killed Nazis during World War II to free the crematoriums and concentration camps. WWII was declared after Pearl Harbor by Congress. Only Congress has the power to declare war.
The Democrats; not one Democrat voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1962, do not have the power to declare war or to label another citizen as a Nazi. They need to be brought to court for slander, character assassination and bearing false witness.
Oh, The Ten Commandments need to be reposted now and quickly before civil war breaks out. More civilians have stored ammunition for that one.
Remember Charlie Kirk and pass the prayer books. The Democrats are going to need them. Their base: “My mother voted democrat.” has died…and the devil is waiting in the wings.
What squandered souls the idiots cheering Charlie Kirk’s murder and advocating slaughter for every human being. And without being brought to Justice as though they had no souls and that there were no human laws. Vicious savages, monsters, ghouls (ghouls eat dead people, watch your back), defund the police, catch and release.
I worked with a murderer. He bragged at how he killed an old lady. Justice and Freedom
