THESE Are The Times That Try Men’s Souls
THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. ~ Thomas Paine
Charlie Kirk, killed yesterday at the age of 31, speaking to a college crowd at Utah Valley University. This is the 24th anniversary of September 11th. This is not an easy day. I have often found from you that it is the not easy days where we show our best. This will not be a conversation, at least from me today about the glorifying of Charlie Kirk. I didn’t know him. I didn’t always agree with him. He had a different view of how to engage than I did. But there is no question that his engagement worked. His engagement was effective. His engagement reached people. And there was absolutely no question that when you could sit yourself down on a campus to where the campus pours out to see you, to the tune of thousands of people who want to watch him, well really dismantle leftist arguments, to which he did. I think with rousing success. That is an oddity. That is something and for many on a campus, for many in America to see somebody stand up and say no, this, this and this, and I am not swayed by the problem. It’s good. It’s one thing to hear it. It’s another thing to see it. It’s another thing to feel. It’s nothing to experience it. That is impressive stuff. He’s extremely good at the recall, extremely good at finding in his mind the obscure fact that would work to his favor. He didn’t deserve to die assassinated as he would, murdered as he would depending on how you want to say these things.
