We are not the same

I believe all life is sacred, especially those of the innocent babies

You believe that babies are a burden that should be murdered before they are even born.

I believe that everyone should learn to love themselves, and work hard to become the best versions of themselves.

You believe everyone should either chop up or drug themselves up in order to “feel better”.

I believe that life is an amazing gift that we should all treasure for as long as we can.

You believe life is a burden that has no meaning and should be allowed to be ended whenever we feel like it.

I believe that parents should be responsible for their children’s education and forming their values.

You believe that the government should be in control of all spread of information.

I believe that race is irrelevant.

You believe that everyone should be judged primarily by their race as some are better and/or more capable than others.

I believe that if you want something in life that you need to work for it, contribute to society, and earn it.

You believe that everyone else should do the work for you so that you can get everything for free.

I believe in open dialog and sharing ideas.

You believe in silencing anyone who dares disagree with you.

I believe that violent criminals should be locked away forever, if not killed of the crime is severe enough.

You believe the criminal is the victim and should be released and given compensated for his troubles.

I believe everyone has the right to be as rich as they are capable of being.

You believe that everyone who is rich is evil… unless it’s you.

I believe that you should fall in love, commit to one person, and have a family.

You believe in hook up culture, sex workers, porn, and spending your days high with no responsibilities.

I believe that The United States is the best country in the world who fought to protect others numerous time and has, for the most part created more than destroyed in comparison to any other nation.

You believe in destroying it all.

My martyr was a family man who was murdered while having a civil conversation.

Your martyr died of a drug overdose while resisting arrest.

When My martyr falls I pray in the streets.

When your martyr falls you burn them down

I believe that murdering someone for their opinion is evil.

You believe it is funny.

We are not the same.

It’s been a week since Charlie Kirk

It has been a week since Charlie Kirk was brutally taken from the world, and no one can stop talking about him. Both sides of the isle have been whipped up into a frenzy over his death. One side claiming that he deserved to be murdered because he was evil and spread hate, and the other side deeply grieving a man whose only crime was disagreeing with those he spoke with.

I have been watching Charlie Kirk for years. I have become obsessed with news over the last few years, as many have, and find myself going down the rabbit whole of debates and commentary. He was my go to when I wanted something lighthearted and civil. He was the one that I went to when I wanted to watch what the youth of today was being taught to think and how one could politely disagree and possibly change some minds.

That was the problem. Charlie could change minds. Charlie could have a respectful conversation with those he disagreed with and they could start to understand his point. They could see him as a person who just had different information or different opinions about a subject and that is ok.

He also helped conservative students find their voices. As someone who has recently gone back to school as an adult for my MEd I can’t believe the indoctrination process. I was told that I had mandatory Critical Theory classes and when I disagreed with the teacher she didn’t listen to my argument and evaluate if I had made valid points, but just disagreed with the methods. No, I was told to comply or fail. I took the F and switched schools.

This was me as a middle aged mother who has decades of bullies behind me and an understanding that you can never comply or they will not stop. Imagine being the 18 year old kids leaving their homes for the first time and being told if they disagree with their professors that their futures will be ruined. Charlie gave them other options. Up to and including the understanding that state sanctioned school is almost never the answer.

Will the loss of Charlie Kirk I feel for his family and especially his kids. He was such an ambassador for the importance of having a father in the house, and now his poor babies will grow up without him. I understand that loss. My son lost his father when he was only 6. The difference is that Charlie Kirk left behind hours of footage that his babies can watch and learn from. Charlie Kirk touched the hearts of millions of people who are forever changed. Charlie Kirk has been gone from this world for a week, but his legacy will never be lost. We are all Charlie Kirk now, and those who don’t like it can sit down and watch us rise.
