A Great Man

On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed by a murderer. At the time, he was engaged in civil discourse with students of all creeds and stripes on the campus of the Utah Valley University.

Some say that when the assassin’s bullet struck him, Charlie Kirk stopped being just a man and became a martyr.

They may be right.

I for one think that Charlie Kirk, may he spend eternity at the right of the Lord, was a Great Man.

Why do I say that?

Well, to be honest with you, I don’t know. Although I sometimes watched his public persona, I was never too close to his brand. I mean, I agreed with his stance on freedom, faith, traditional values, and yes even politics. But I was never on the Charlie Kirk bandwagon.

Then why did I take his passing so goddamn hard?!

What agency induced me not to tears, but to literally second guessing my life.

For this is what his death did to me: it made me realize the error of my ways.

I am a God-fearing man. I love tradition. And I abhor the perfidious ways of the Left.

But compared to Charlie, I lack a couple of things.

I do not possess the strength of my convictions. I am pro-Life but in my youth I agreed to two abortions.

I believe in God but only from a purely mathematical perspective: since nobody proved God does not to exist, I believe in Him.

Virtually all of my convictions are paper-thin.

But here in front of my eyes, here died a man who did believe in Him, who had the courage of his convictions, and who never gave up affirming these Truths.

And for this, they killed him. They shot him dead just like you’d shoot a rabid dog. They cut him down in his prime because they couldn’t stand a man who was true to his soul.

This is why he was a Great Man. Because Charlie Kirk was true to himself. And when he spoke, the world listened. As it always does when a prophet appears from the dessert, that winter of our discontent, and touches our hearts.

Don’t get me wrong. Charlie did not just speak from the heart. He spoke for the Lord who talked to us through him. Charlie was His vessel.

Charlie reminded us that God has endowed us with Free Will. And that He wants us to be free, happy, and above all, multiply.

Crescet et multiplicamini, sayeth the Lord.

And what did we do? Did we obey His commands?

No. True to our Phariseic ways, we refused to be free, happy, and decided instead to kill our unborn babies.

We decided to die out. We lost, nay, abandoned our faith, our grounding, our moral compass, like it was an unneeded baggage in this day and age.

We gave in to despair. We accepted that God was dead. And so morality was gone too. Tradition followed the way of the dodo. We wanted to be unhappy, materialistic, decadent, deranged, and depraved.

We chose this, folks. We did. And so we ended up full of angst, forever on drugs, looking for the next fix, walking the earth without purpose, without meaning and without hope.

And when Charlie came along, reminding us that once there was a Way that guaranteed salvation at the end of our mortal coil, and before that, a peaceful existence in God’s embrace here and now on Earth, what did we do???

Did we remember that for generations our faithful forefathers and foremothers eked an existence of hard toil and many tribulations, to allow the next generation to get a leg up in life?

No, we didn’t.

Instead, we rejected their blessed memory and heeded the calls of false idols and prophets who promised us a better life, but instead delivered world wars, mayhem, economic crashes, revolutions, mass murder, Holocaust, pogroms, tyranny and horrible generational pains, trials and tribulations.

The history of the last 250 years is that of a race of imbeciles who are headed for their annihilation at the hands of a diabolical elite, who consider and treat humans as their plaything.

The only one who can save us from ourselves is God.

Charlie knew it. We all know it.

It’s just that we are so morally lost, and cowardly, that even the notion of abandoning the false prophets and their materialistic empty promises, fills us with dread and makes us catatonic.

Christianity is about two things. Nay. It is about one thing only: self-sacrifice.

Jesus wants us to turn the other cheek and seek no earthly rewards for our toils.

To be a Christian, it takes character. Not everybody can be the former since not everyone has the latter.

Do not be afraid to be courageous in proclaiming your faith. Be good to one another. Try, try to love those who would hurt you.

Do not take revenge! And yes, live a life as close to the Scriptures as possible.

Morality has but one fountain. And that is the Word of our Lord and Saviour.

Not all religions are equal.

Christian faith is the only one that counts and do not let anyone tell you any different.

Charlie Kirk’s legacy is simple: do not stray from the beaten path of our ancestors.

And worship God.
