The Spirit of Pioneering
Americans refuse to be demoralized. We want to have good lives, and we believe that this is the country to do it in. That’s the spirit of pioneering. It is not lost. It has just ebbed and flowed.

The Spirit of Thankfulness

Charlie Kirk had a gift for embracing his critics, for refuting their arguments, for harnessing their hatred. He loved debate and he loved ideas. He believed in discussion and openness, and urged this country to open it up.
