“Guns cannot protect us from ourselves.”
----Quotations of Chairman Joe
The murder of fascist provocateur Charlie Kirk has stoked outrage from the idiot wrong. Kirk, founder of “Turning Point”, yet another demented political action organization, was a well-publicized anti-Semite, racist, and general overall swine whose sole function in life was to lower public discourse to the level one expects from the Maggot Movement.
One of the young 'darlings' of what passes for the current 'conservative' movement, Kirk was on the campus of a Utah University spreading his message of hate among the young and impressionable. Yet in his early thirties, he was shot and killed by a sniper, yet another in a long list of casualties in this country's never ending saga of gun violence. Lost in the reporting was a school shooting, all too common in the current era, in which 2 were killed and 9 wounded. Just another day in America.
As the news broke, the hate machine went into instant action. Hate speech radio went bonkers. Faux News did it's usual dance, blaming liberals and 'socialists' for the “tragedy”. Caesar Disgustus, never to miss an opportunity, addressed the nation from his newly appointed bordello at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, blaming “radical leftists” and Democrats for the killing. Disgustus, always one to cast the blame elsewhere, never misses a beat.
First, there are no “radical leftists” in this country. Disgustus doesn't know what these terms mean any more than he understands tariffs. That aside, here was yet another opportunity for him to exercise one of his few talents: dividing the country and spreading hate and fear.
There is talk of Kirk lying in “state” under the Capitol Rotunda, as if he were a former president of the United States. There is talk of enshrining Kirk along with insurrectionist Ashley Babbitt, killed during the January 6th attempted coup, in the pantheon of American fascism, much as Hitler and the Nazi's did with the 'martyrs' of the 1923 “Beer Hall Putsch”.
Kirk is no “Martyr”, for his “cause” is a despicable one. To paraphrase Nietzsche's commentary on Jesus Christ: had he lived to become as old as I, he would have no doubt followed the likes of Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, David Frum, Nicole Wallace and a host of others and recanted. But, Oh, the needle and the damage done.
Here you have a political bowel movement that lionizes, as every American fascist movement, the “heroes” of the Confederacy; traitors who took up arms against this republic in defense of slavery, the worst cause in modern history. That's what the demonstrations and murder in Charlottesville was all about, and Kirk's political agenda reflected this kind of knee-jerk reactionary response to our current political climate. This is not a life to celebrate; there is nothing, save the loss of civility, to lament.
Nevertheless, there ensued the renting of garments, the gnashing of teeth, the wailing and lamentation, almost of biblical proportion, in the aftermath. The words “civil war' now bandied about with reckless abandon. Then news broke that a young man, a son of the local Sheriff, from a conservative tRUMP fearing ReSCUMlickan family confessed to the deed. Once again, Rupert Murdoch's “Faux News” and the entire fascist media enterprise, along with Donald tRUMP had 'jumped the shark'. Once again one of their own, it was revealed, had done the awful deed.
Just another gun nut gone off the rails; just another troubled white boy in search of recognition. Just another young fascist, himself like Charlie Kirk, in pursuit of justification.
The casualty here isn't Charlie Kirk, it is political discourse in this country. It is civility. There are protests, as there always are that 'this isn't who we are, we are better than this.” No, this is precisely who we are and have always been. There has always been a deep undercurrent of violence in this country. From the Salem Witch Trials and slavery, to the genocide of our native population, to Jim Crow, to the political assassinations from Alexander Hamilton to our current day, to school shootings and other senseless acts, daily visited upon us, of gun violence. This IS who we are and always have been. It is time to face up to it and admit that American's are too immature to own guns, that the time has come for confiscation.
Admit now, once and for all time, that the tyranny the 2nd amendment is supposed to prevent is upon us and proving useless in our defense. Guns cannot protect us from ourselves.
Impeach and Imprison
