Liz Wheeler Remembers Charlie Kirk
For Liz Wheeler, Charlie Kirk was more than just a figure in the conservative movement; he was a true friend. “We grew up together in this movement,” she reflects.
While some celebrate Kirk’s passing, Liz finds solace in the belief that God can turn even the darkest moments into something glorious. “Charlie’s death is not in vain,” she asserts.
“The lions among us are awake, and we’re on the brink of a cultural revolution unlike anything we’ve seen before,” she claims.
Wheeler emphasizes that Charlie was relatable, stating, “He was just a normal guy, not extreme or edgy at all. He was one of us.” She questions how many woke up this morning and thought about what Charlie represented.
“For many, this is the first time they’ve really acknowledged the political adversaries we face, not just the familiar arguments in Washington, D.C., but a broader ideological battle,” she suggests.
As changes unfold in the U.S., Liz believes it’s crucial to manage our anger wisely. “We risk descending into civil war, which is precisely what the left wants,” she warns.
Wheeler believes the future requires courage, signifying a need to move forward without Charlie. “We can’t accept a country where evil acts are not just tolerated but actively encouraged by our political opponents,” she maintains.
She outlines two steps for achieving a positive cultural shift: First, to confront the “evil” permeating institutions, particularly colleges and universities, which she describes as “indoctrination centers.” She argues against the presence of ideologies that promote anti-Americanism and Marxism, urging a pushback against professors who support these views.
Her second point encourages optimism: instead of letting anger consume us, we should have faith that, as she puts it, “what Satan intended for evil, God will use for good.”
Wheeler confesses the challenge of understanding why bad things happen to good people but recalls that God works for a greater purpose. “I often ponder what that higher purpose is,” she reveals, while reminding us that we must trust that a divine plan exists.
As some irony is pointed out regarding Charlie’s death at the hands of someone he once sought to advocate against, Liz feels it’s more ironic that Charlie, now eternal, would still pray for his assailant.
“I believe that wholeheartedly,” she states.
