This above all; to thine own self be true.  - William Shakespeare

Truth. 

The Constitution of the United States of America grants men the right to ask, "Why?"

That right, to ask why, is freedom of speech - the first Right of ten in the Bill of Rights of said Constitution.  

Without freedom of speech there is not whys men - men who question, sometimes casually sometimes under extreme pressure and at great personal risk, to know truth (for all of us to know truth) and speak truth. 

Charlie Kirk was a whys man. 

He asked questions. He realized truth. He spoke truth. And for his courageous commitment to truth he captured the attention of tens of millions (especially the young, Americans and foreigners) hungry for truth. 

Testament to truth's power. 

Truth, as it is, preserves order; not perfectly, of course. 

And yet truth is the greatest threat to upsetting deliberate disorder.

Charlie Kirk was a threat to a faction of Americans determined to destroy our Constitution and country. 

Those Americans carry sundry labels but the label that matters, that is truth, is domestic enemy.

There is greater still faction of Americans who embrace the Constitution and hold dear country. 

They, too, carry sundry labels but the one that matters, that is truth, is patriot. 

Patriots pledge allegiance to the flag. 

Some patriots formally take oath - swear to support and defend the Constitution, so help them God.  

Their duty to confront enemies - domestic and foreign. 

Faction friction is reality - a truth of freedom.  

Yesterday afternoon out-of-doors on a platform before a crowd of thousands on a college campus in Utah, there by invitation of a student body group holding allegiance to the Constitution and love of country, Charlie Kirk spoke truth.

Then suddenly sharp crack - the report of gun.

One round.  

The bullet struck Charlie, seated, in the neck.

Blood gushed. He went limp collapsing to left surely no clue what happened. 

Charlie Kirk, whys man, died.

Shooter (unkown and being hunted) - domestic enemy. 

Now to truth.

Charlie Kirk died by long shot yet by long shot he is not dead.

His body and soul rest on higher ground. 

Though blood gushed spirit flowed, and will until, into tens of millions - more whys men. 

Whys men, who like Charlie Kirk, will bravely seek and find and speak truth or die trying. 

For so long as them, America.
