GIVE EM HELL

-



 On my way into work this morning I was listening to a local conservative talk show host. A listener emailed the question that asked if the death of Charlie Kirk would still be having the same impact six months from now. That is a good question and I have been thinking a lot about that. I think that his death is having a greater impact than we know and his movement will continue to grow. Before Charlie Kirk's death there were people of all ages who either didn't know who he was or had only heard his name in passing. Now people are seeking out his videos on line. Once they actually listen to what he is saying they discover that their beliefs and values are more in line with Charlie's than with the Democrat party. This same I talk show host played a couple of young people's testimonials to how their opinion of Charlie Kirk was much more positive after taking the time to listen to him. Both happened to be young black men. One identified as a homosexual. They expressed anger that the left had lied to them about Charlie Kirk. I believe that the testimony of these two young men is just a glimpse into what is happening across this country and the world right now.

As I have stated many times in the past I was a Democrat in 1980. The near assassination of Ronald Reagan was also a catalyst for my conversion to Conservatism. I will never forget the moment that I heard President Reagan had been shot. I was sitting in a courtroom when the judge was handed a note. He then broke the news to us that Reagan had been shot. We all let out a collection of gasps and groans. Most adults in that room were very familiar with these kind of moments. We had endured the assassinations of JFK, Malcolm X, MLK, RFK, the near assassination of George Wallace and Gerald Ford twice. There was no celebration or smiling in the courtroom. I am sure that there were many people in that courtroom, like myself who were not fans of Ronald Reagan but we didn't want to see him killed. That was America in March of 1981. Although President Reagan was spared from death but I began to see him in a different light. I was impressed by his courage and fortitude. This was an elderly man by the standards of the day. Now we have had a president in his eighties and one close to that age but at 70 Reagan was our oldest president to that point. I realized that he wasn't the ogre that the Democrats had made him out to be. My values were more in line with his than with the Democrat party. By 1984 I was a Reagan convert and staunch Conservative.


A second reason that I believe Charlie's Kirks influence will be felt is that his death has confirmed to many what I and others have been warning for years now. The left wants us dead. They can't win arguments against us. It is impossible to defend the indefensible. So we must be silenced by any means necessary. They tried to silence us by intimidation and to a certain degree that has been successful. Conservatives have self censored themselves order to get along, or they have been in fear of losing their jobs. We didn't lose our jobs celebrating someone's death. We lost our jobs just for having opinions that were contrary to the powers that be. Then they tried to arrest us into silence. That didn't work so now they are trying to kill us. These tactics didn't stop the Civil Rights movement or the women's suffrage movement. Nor will they stop ours. Charlie's legacy is that he was speaking out against this political violence and was urging president Trump to take action. Because of his death President Trump is now going after terrorist networks like Antifa and their sponsors. President Grant sponsored the Ku Klux Act passed by Congress in 1871. This law effectively drove the Klan underground and it would not reemerge as an active organization until Democrat Woodrow Wilson gave it his blessing in 1915. Congress needs to pass similar legislation against leftist terrorist networks.


The violence will not stop, however; until the Democrat party tones down the rhetoric. They won't do it until they are soundly voted out of national and local offices. Even then there is no guarantee that they will change. As long as they continue the hate us Charlie's name will be front and center in everyday life. Unfortunately there will probably be more deaths on the right from their violence before they are vanquished. Until then, play time is over. This is a different group of people they are fooling with now. We are not woke. We are awake and we will defend ourselves. I saw a meme that said Charlie Kirk wasn't using hate speech. He was using speech that they hated. Harry Truman said it even better to my liking. At a campaign stop a supporter shouted "give em hell Harry". Truman answered "I don't give em hell. I just tell the truth and they think its hell".

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while...

THE PLATT FAMILY

  Allen Platt was like many bigoted Southern white men in 1954. He would say 'My dad always said Blacks had their place,'' This belief was challenged in October 1954. The Lake County Florida Sheriff Willis McCall paid Platt a visit in his  Mount Dora home. There had been complaints about his children. There were many people who believed the family was Black because of their dark skin color and curly hair. McCall was pretty sure that they had ''nigra'' blood, as he called it. The sheriff told him "You don't belong here. You are trying to mix with white people." Platt told him 'I'm as White as you are and come from better stock." Under the law at that time you were accepted into White society if you only had one-sixteenth black blood. If you had one-eighth you were considered Black. Platt was told to keep his kids out of school until the race issue was settled. He was a fruit picker in Florida and the father of nine children. ...
