Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation...What age should you start to… - Charlie Kirk

It is unconscionable that for decades we’ve expected heroes maimed by American involvement in unresolved conflicts overseas, and the families of those killed in those fights, to accept “We tried” as the best assessment of what was achieved by the fighting. Surveys now show most American soldiers think our recent wars have been unproductive. Maybe they, away from the spin machines of the Washington policy establishment, know what they’re talking about.

He is guided by a faith that most Americans seemed to share until very recently. Our forefathers founded this country on sound principles, including standing up for the freedom of the individual. These principles with ancient roots have made something wonderful and new possible upon the face of the Earth, a freedom and prosperity never before known.

I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage. But it is very effective when it comes to politics. When Bill Clinton said, 'I feel your pain,' that was a brilliant political move. It was total nonsense, but it worked. I prefer sympathy. Sympathy is a much better word. Sympathy is saying, 'I’m sorry for what you’re going through, I’m going to try to help you.' Empathy is like, 'I’m going to become you, I’m going to feel exactly what you’re feeling.' It’s impossible, it’s narcissistic, and it’s destructive.
