A certain local politician, Dave Glass stated He did not agree with Charlie Kirk on most points. Know your politicians and the values they support.
It's ironic we would hear from his opposition while local "conservatives" Tim Winters, have remained silent.
Chatgbt states: Here’s an overview of Charlie Kirk’s core values and political philosophy, based on extensive reporting and public statements:

Key Values and Beliefs of Charlie Kirk
1. Christian Nationalism & the Seven Mountain Mandate
Kirk strongly embraced Christian nationalism, arguing that America must regain its Christian identity and asserting that faith and government should not be separated. He actively promoted the Seven Mountain Mandate—the belief that Christians should lead in seven spheres of society: politics, education, media, business, family, religion, and arts and entertainment.
2. Culture-War-Oriented Conservatism
He championed aggressive, confrontational conservatism particularly in cultural arenas—on topics like abortion, immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and race. His rhetoric often challenged liberal ideologies and promoted traditional values.
3. Free Speech, Anti-Woke, Anti-DEI
Kirk positioned himself as a stalwart defender of free speech—particularly against what he described as "woke" ideology, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs, and liberal dominance in academia and media.
4. Pro–Second Amendment & Acceptance of Trade-offs
A strong advocate for gun rights, Kirk controversially stated that “some gun deaths” were an unfortunate but acceptable price to pay in order to preserve the right to bear arms.
5. Anti-Abortion with Few Exceptions
He regarded abortion as akin to murder and strongly opposed it, advocating for its illegality and rejecting exceptions even in cases of rape—though he acknowledged potential medical necessity if the mother's life was in danger.
6. Rejection of Civil Rights Progress & Racial Diversity Initiatives
Kirk dismissed concepts like white privilege as myths and criticized the Civil Rights Act of 1964, calling it a “huge mistake.” He accused policies promoting racial equity of infringing on constitutional principles.
7. Mobilizing Young Conservatives via Media and Campus Strategy
Through Turning Point USA, he leveraged social media, campus tours like “You’re Being Brainwashed” and “American Comeback,” and provocative in-person events, tailoring a youth-focused, data-driven media strategy.
8. Alignment with Trump and MAGA Doctrine
He closely aligned with Donald Trump, framing his political philosophy around the MAGA doctrine, promoting national renewal, patriotism, anti-establishment conservatism, and working-class values.
