Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Kirk defended and advanced the Republican Party platform. Your attitude toward Kirk shows your attitude toward not only conservative activists, but toward the Republican Party. Democrats and RINOs boycott Kirk events.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Oath Keepers’ founder Stewart Rhodes convicted as part of Jan. 6 riot to speak to GOP-tied group, creating conflict in Geneva. Ever-increasingly, my anti-conservative critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois (Traditions And Principles Republicans Often Overlook Today) was a hate group. They ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT caused Republican candidates in Illinois to lose elections. I served as TAPROOT’s chairman 2005-2012. TAPROOT held breakfast meetings the third Saturday of every month except August when it held a picnic and December when it held a Christmas party. I invited all the speakers for all of its 78 events 2005-2012. I should list all those who spoke at TAPROOT events 2005-2012. Almost all of them were Republican candidates, elected officials, and/or party leaders. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT in 2012.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/22/geneva-oath-keepers-stewart-rhodes/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rhodes’ event is part of a series of talks, titled “Pints & Politics,” sponsored by the Geneva-based Three Headed Eagle Alliance, a group headed by Debbie Kanarowski, a member of the Illinois GOP State Central Committee. In heavily blue Illinois, where every statewide officeholder is a Democrat, the state’s Republican Party has continued to shift to the right, and segments of the party leadership have highlighted its more conservative voices. Others who have participated in the “Pints & Politics” series include state lawmakers from the conservative Illinois Freedom Caucus and Ted Dabrowski, the conservative activist and former president of research outfit Wirepoints who is running in the GOP primary for governor.)

My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I accepted that offer. I had to have a job because I was helping support my mother and brother.

— Ben Carson says Charlie Kirk ‘ran circles around people with college degrees.’ I should write about my critics/opponents who have used my having three master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a professional license (CPA) against me the most. They stress that even with all the aforesaid, I was forced to retire when I was 49 in 1997 and I never earned more than $153,151/year in today’s dollars. They hint/imply/argue/shout that is because I bring it on myself, because I am an extremely bad person, and because I am even worse things. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— Meritocracy According to my critics/opponents, I owe none of my successes in life to meritocracy. According to them, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, non-Republican, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college.
