The time for dialogue is over, and the sooner you come to grips with it, the sooner you’ll know how to make it in the new world the American left has created.
Capt K, this has been a tough 24 hours for many…yet we are crystallized in our fearless resolve.
I don’t know the future, but there’s a fight, fight, fight ahead, and it won’t end well for the snipers in the weeds, whatever stripes they might bear.
Only God can shine the light bright enough to change the hearts of those who persecute the truth-tellers. Please read Acts 9:1-23 (KJV suggested) for a reminder of the most complete divine conversion in the history of mankind. Ananias was the first witness, who said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.”
Nobody was praying the Lord save Saul, but that’s what happened to “a chosen vessel” whose footsteps I follow (because I can’t walk on water).
It is fitting that we pray for patience and understanding, even though we can’t wait to fight fire with fire in response to the incomprehensible horror of yesterday, and 24 years ago, today.
Thank you for this treatise that brings many into singular accord. And thank all who served and serve still in the armed forces and public safety. My father’s remains are near your father’s, overlooking the Potomac south of D. C., let us cherish their memory.
And, let us all be filled with the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
God had other plans for Charlie. We know he is with his Father in Heaven. We are not a body with a soul, but a soul with a body.
His death just made me more determined. More determined to speak out. More determined to conceal carry. And definitely more determined to leave this country a better place for my granddaughter.
Thank you for your continued excellent work Seth and for your words of encouragement. This not a call to violence but the war between good and evil is now fully joined. No more maybes or equivocation. Although the Deep State evil has existed in the shadows for centuries and Progressivism/Marxism took public hold in the USA in the 1800s, I must agree that the installation of Obama was what fully released the chaos on us. That was the “fundamental change” that demon brought on our once great nation. Time to take our nation back. We are past the point of no return.
Just remember our fight is asymmetric. They are fighting with violence and loathing, we are overcoming evil with good. They are trying to destroy our bodies, we are trying to save their souls. That doesn't mean we forgive away the consequences of their evil actions, but it does mean we don't seek vengeance.
There never was much period of discourse to begin with. How many Democrats, even those like Fetterman who were willing to break verbally with the party on some issues, actually voted with Republicans in recent years? And you can’t have a reasoned discussion with the Democrat core constituency even on the most common sense issues without being called names.
You must use the discernment God provides for each situation, but Matthew 5:43–48, Romans 12:14–21, and many others are witnesses to love your enemy. If he does not respond to kindness, you have piled burning coals on his head. James 1:19–20, Ephesians 4:26–27, and many others witness against acting out of anger. I am not saying there is not a time for war (Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 says there is), but even during war we must be careful not to fall into sin.
Unfortunately, this is what I have been trying to get people to understand for about a decade now. These people do not want what they say they want. When they say they want peace, what they mean is submit or die. When they say people should be careful what they say, what they mean is shut the hell up or die. These people are wholly uncivilized and unhinged. The demoncrap party is the same today as it was in 1880: these killers are the new KKK, the military wing of the demoncrap party. They exist to terrorize opponents and anyone who dares stand against the will of the party. George Soros learned a lot while working for the Nazis as a child. He is using that playbook today in America. They are wholly evil, all of them. You can't vote for a democrat and hope to have peace with God. If you think that you can, then you are lying to yourself.
Thank you Seth for writing today at this difficult time.
“Fighting the fight is the only way to respond to yesterday’s evil, and I encourage all to seek common ground with those on the side of good with whom you disagree.”
We have all been taken back by this, but you’ve hit the nail on the head with the above.
Dictatorships, communist regimes, etc. can only survive when opposing actions and voices are rigidly suppressed – examples abound. J.Edgar Hoover warned us: Communist takeovers need chaos and disorder, sewn by only 20% of the population – not 51%. Attempts at shaming us into "wokeism" are but one example of the opening salvos at silencing. Paid agitators are now underway. Criminals are instantly released. Already, subtle examples abound in our own daily worlds yet the media regularly hide them and mask them. Violent silencing is increasing. The only response is to stand stronger, not cower, like CaptK so well reminds us. Let's all please remember – maintaining democracy and freedom is far easier than re-establishing them when lost.
The left is continually baffled that their attempts to goad us into violence have failed. That being so, they pulled a Thanos and said "Fine, I'll do it myself."
As for our side, beyond agreeing with you, all I can say is this...
Seth, THANK YOU! I have watched Hours of interviews today, from friends and associates of Charlie Kirk, and they range from incredulity, to emotional devastation, to (in one, possibly 2, cases) barely suppressed fury.
As a mother of 29 year old twins, I have searched for my emotional response for the past 24 hours, and I am grateful to you for giving it to me. I think we are at “Damn the torpedoes, Full Speed ahead” mode… but our responses must be prayerfully made. Thank you again Seth, for your ability to see the strategic path ahead.
I never followed Kirk, or watched his videos. The only times I saw him was as a guest on various shows. Yet, the feelings that hit me yesterday with this news, and are still with me today, are similar to yours. I am shaken, somber, and apprehensive. No, you can not coexist with those who wish you dead. I hope civil war is not at the end of this road, but if it is, I will be there.
I agree with your wife. It all started with Obummer. We can't stay in the shadows. We must all do our parts. The evil will not stop.
Thanks for deciding to write today. The points you make are appreciated and worthy.
Spot on, as always, Cap'n... this is both heartbreaking and infuriating. God help us.

First we grieve, and then…

That doesn't mean we forgive away the consequences of their evil actions, but it does mean we don't seek vengeance.
In theory, I agree with you. But the period of discourse is over and the die is cast.

Thanks, Captain. Well said. We have crossed the Rubicon…

You make some excellent points, Seth. Thank you for your thoughts. I definitely agree about BHO and about fake sympathy and unity.
