Hateful rhetoric from politicians, universities

September 16, 2025 by Guest Post

by Richard Parker, Stevensville

They (the violent left) murdered Charlie Kirk but, as someone said, “they have created a million more Charlie Kirks.” The left includes Antifa, BLM, all the Democrat Party except a few holdouts to John Kennedy’s party.

It is time for Christians, especially pastors,to speak out against this communist, atheist and evil coming out of our schools, from kindergarten to universities. Left-wing propaganda is pervasive there. Some people are glorifying their approval of the death of Charlie. There is no respect for life on the left. Christians don’t fight by killing the people we disagree with. We pray for them. Charlie Kirk was a peaceful dialoguer, standing effectively for the Bible and Jesus Christ. He stood for truth and for America. He stood for family, country and faith in Christ. He was a father, a beloved husband and man of God.

We’re not going to hide from fear of speaking out. Above all, we Republicans must vote, all of us, in the mid-terms. If they gain power they will turn lawfare on all of us, because we elected Pres. Trump. TDS – Trump Derangement Syndrome.

    While I agree with some of your statements I do know that all life is precious regardless of party.. The killing of Kirk is tragic as is the killing of Melissa Hortman, she was the Speaker of the House in MN, her husband was also killed by a registered R who voted for Trump. The killer also went to another politicians home and shot the husband and wife 17 times, they’re still recovering 3 months later. Ms. Hortman had 2 children and was a Sunday school teacher and was active in her church. We have seemed to forget very quickly the two who died and two seriously wounded. There’s plenty of blame to go around and it’s not just one party. On Jan. 6th. over 100 police officers were injured and over 3 dozen more were sent to hospitals, they were tazed, chemically sprayed and beaten and caused over $1.5 million in damage. They were all pardoned or sentences commuted..

      And yet, the 3 attacks on Democrats all occurred by mentally ill individuals at peoples’ homes while the attacks on right wingers have been public large crowd shootings. They are not equivalent. Perhaps before playing the “other side too” game maybe consider why these attacks look so similar but so different depending on the side.
      Your descriptions of J6 are just lies. And if you believe them explain why Pelosi refused all requests for additional police both the day before and during J6.
      And they only had their sentences commuted after spending 3+ years being abused in DC jails. Stop making things up just to help “your side.”
