Charlie Kirk's Travels

 

In search of America,  Charlie encountered swift and violent shipwreck on the shores of Little Putterings.  Resting silently on the beach of his dreams, this is where the story really begins.

Small in stature, the citizens puttered about their little lives  with their little thoughts.  A constant source of bickering was their obsessive  fascination with how to crack an egg.  In reality, it did not matter.  The initial crack would expose a fully-developed XX or XY pattern.  But then again, these quarrels were the signature of the short of stature and slight of build Little Putterings.

Having never confronted the frame of a giant; the thought that such a giant even existed; brought tremendous fright. The startled citizens spoke with each other in their native tongue - called "mutterings".  A private language, one which now found itself exposed to the light of day, became both inflamed and exposed.  And when a report reached the island of Charlie's knowledge of the greater mysteries of the world, the Little Putterings armed themselves with  tiny cords and ropes.

The stark reality of their small-minded world with their self-important little lives was in full view.  And on the beach of the shipwreck of his dreams, their nightmare was deployed. 

"How dare he!  Do you  know who I think I am?!" This muttering was spoken against his resting body.

Do you know who I think I am?

He was securely bound.  There was no question that he could ever be allowed to stand upright again.  But even this was not sufficient.  They gathered their tiny arrows and took aim at his body.  In the truest sense, it became a type of desecration of a corpse.  He would not be allowed to rest in peace.

"I hate Charlie Kirk. He had it coming!  He deserved it!"  Dr. Matthew Jung

"Thank you, witches.  Signed, everybody."  Professor Jean M Jackson

The tiniest of arrows taking aim - not being content that Charlie's travels were over - shot over his toes and took aim at his remaining family.  "Fuck the bitch that gave him birth!"

I am not a fan of this account, but am using it as a limited resource this week:

So Charlie Kirk's travels are over.  He began like John Steinbeck, in search of America. And he entered the story of Jonathan Swift.

This remains a cautionary tale.  With Turning Point USA  inundated with requests for new chapters, this becomes a quality control issue.  The organization will attract migration from the Little Putterings in the Christian community with their own ropes and arrows.  May logic, kindness and gentleness be the benchmark of our faith.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Charlie Kirk Memorial: Live Blog: The Largest Church Service in Human History

Live Blogging:  Charlie Kirk Memorial Blackfoot is comfortably snoozing in a different time zone.  So I will go ahead and start the post.  Undoubtedly, when I return to the desktop, Blackfoot will have added a few thoughts and I will enter the arena again. Security.  The word floated across my consciousness several times yesterday.  The perimeter of two stadiums and parking lots must be secured for the Charlie Kirk Memorial.  Within full envelope surveillance are tricks of the trade which most of us are unaware of - in blissful manner. Problematic, is not only an estimated crowd of 100,000 souls, but the abbreviated timeline to secure the venue.  We had a friend who worked full-time providing security for the Dallas Cowboys Stadium when it was in Irving, Texas.  When the team hosted the Super Bowl in 2011, several alphabet agencies were involved in securing the space for weeks in advance.  Every can of nacho sauce, toilet paper, and toothpick...
