Can you slay ideas?

With torture you can hurt the flesh 
but not the spirit;
 
With bullets you may pierce the flesh 
but not the spirit;
 
You can bore many holes in the body with your bullets,
but not one single hole in the heroism which bears
the body to the bullet:
 
A hero is immortal,
he lives within the people
who give the country heroes.
You slay men, you butchers!

But can you slay ideas?
