Forge Ahead with the Flame
In a sombre and poignant address, Robert Charles, a prominent figure in American politics and author, has called for unity and action following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a well-known political commentator. The tragic event, reminiscent of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865, has caused a 'kind of timeless horror,' according to Charles.
Charles, a former Assistant Secretary of State under Colin Powell, a ten-year naval intelligence officer (USNR), and a 25-year businessman, has been vocal about his beliefs that the political left is responsible for Kirk's assassination. He compares their actions to the Brownshirts in 1930s Germany and the Bolsheviks in early 1900s Russia, suggesting an attempt to suppress free speech and core freedoms in America.
The loss of a moral leader, like Kirk or Abraham Lincoln before him, is difficult to reconcile and bring closure from. In the aftermath of Kirk's death, Charles has urged Americans to stand against the forces that silenced him. Ericka Kirk, Charlie Kirk's wife, has also spoken out, stating that the assassins have unleashed a greater mission across the country.
In the wake of this tragedy, Charles has been encouraging his followers to take action inspired by Kirk's example. He is running to be Maine's next Governor, a move that further solidifies his commitment to the values he believes Kirk stood for.
Charles is also the National Spokesman for an unspecified organization and the author of several books, including 'Narcotics and Terrorism,' 'Eagles and Evergreens,' and the recently published 'Cherish America: Stories of Courage, Character, and Kindness.'
In times of tragedy, the Bible has often been a source of comfort. Charles, in his book, offers stories of courage, character, and kindness, reminding readers of the power of unity and love in the face of adversity.
Robert F. Kennedy, in his speech after Martin Luther King's assassination, also called for understanding and love instead of polarization and hatred. Kennedy quoted Aeschylus, saying, 'Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.'
One sermon after Lincoln's assassination suggested that his death would work towards the 'merciless extinguishment' of the sentiment behind the assassination. Similarly, Charles believes that standing together against the forces that led to Kirk's death is crucial in ensuring that such sentiments are not allowed to flourish.
In these challenging times, Charles' call for unity and action serves as a reminder of the resilience of the American spirit and the importance of standing up for the values that define our nation.
