THE GLORY OF FAMILY

-


 
 Charlie Kirk's death has impacted me unlike any death of a public figure in history. I was greatly impacted by the deaths of JFK, MLK and RFK but not like Charlie Kirk. His death and Christian witness has inspired me to be a better Christian. Over the years it has been revealed that JFK was tied to the mafia and a man whore. The same can be said for MLK and RFK. MLK was a man whore and probably bisexual. RFK had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and both he and JFK may have been involved in her death. These things weren't revealed until after their deaths and as a result their standing is diminished in my eyes. I still look for the good in them and their positive accomplishments from a historical perspective. Who knows, Charlie Kirk may have his dark side. Lincoln said that "men are like the moon. We all have our dark side." Somehow at this point I don't believe that Charlie Kirk's dark side will come close to that of JFK, MLK or RFK.

 The one aspect of Charlie's death that has possibly impacted me the most is his love for his wife and children. I can relate so well because I remember when my family was young and how much I loved them. Seeing him interacting with his children and his little girl running to meet him brings back such fond memories for me. I can still see my babies running to me when I was coming home from work or returning from a military deployment. I love the look of sincere love between Charlie and his wife Erica. This period of my life was magical. I was crazy about my wife and children then and I still am but I would give anything to have those years to live over again. That would be the closest thing to heaven for me. Yes, my life was hard but it was all worth it. Debbie would dress them up and they were so beautiful to me. I would just be in awe of how beautiful they were. In my mind I couldn't believe that I was capable of producing something so beautiful. When Debbie and I first got married I definitely wanted children but my plan was to wait until I got out of the Air Force. God's plans were different. We had two children by the time I was discharged. That's okay because I wouldn't change a thing. Charlie was trying to promote the joy of family to young people. He wanted others to experience the same happiness that both of us knew. The miracle of childbirth is like a religious conversion. If you are leftist before having a child there is a good chance that you will become more moderate or conservative afterwards. 


 The ideas of the left are hostile to family values. Having a child makes you more protective of them. It is not just about you anymore. I hurt for those young people today who are putting off marriage and thoughts of family for careers or material wealth. Or they have been indoctrinated with feminist poison and hatred for men. I have grandchildren in their mid to late 20's and they don't even date. In my grandsons case they are plagued with social awkwardness or painfully shy. I can relate to that because I was painfully shy but 2025 is not 1968. I want them to find the magic of creating a family like I found so many years ago. They deserve that happiness but we don't know what we don't know. Charlie Kirk was trying to change our views on marriage and family by dialogue and by example. Satan killed Charlie Kirk but he didn't kill the vision of the family that he was trying to reveal to young people. The seeds were planted and I expect a great harvest.

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. ...

Why his parents did this I do not know.  The brothers were on the run. Nashvill...
