Commentary

Charlie Kirk’s life and career were marked by a profound commitment to conservativism, free speech, and American patriotism, often sparking intense debate across political lines. Whatever one’s opinion of Charlie, his steadfast position that free speech is the cornerstone of civilization remains a message that must be proclaimed throughout Western democracies. It is through the sword of speech that the battle of ideas are to be fought and not through the barrel of a gun.
