REST IN PEACE, ANDREW BREITBART . . .
While most of us were on our second cup of latte, ANDREW BREITBART had updated, edited and revised several blogs, defended the Constitution at least four times and declared his love for this country at least ten times . . . and it was only 8 a.m. . . .
This man, THIS PATRIOT WHO STROLLED WITH GRACE AMONGST US, allowed me to sleep better at night, as I grew to realize that he was fearless, relentless and passionate about his patriotism. Andrew Breitbart considered the United States of America to be his fifth child.
He devoted the time and passion that most of us only reserve for our children; and although there is only so much unconditional love that a human being has to offer this planet, he managed to share some of that unconditional love with us, his humble and grateful followers whose eyes water each and every time we say the pledge of allegiance or sing our National Anthem . . .
HE WAS A STRIPE ON OUR FLAG; he was a star immersed in the fabric of the patriotism that aligns our battlefields and compels us to march in Washington DC again and again in the cause of Freedom . . . so we would not lose our freedoms.
IT WAS HIS FORTHRIGHT VOICE THAT REMINDED ME OF HOW PRECIOUS OUR CONSTITUTION REMAINS and how fragile the upholding of each word remains . . . today in 2012.
It is laughable to hear the pundits casually describe him as a blogger, a conservative, a film wanna—be . . . Rather, HE WAS A FIGUREHEAD OF STEADFAST PATRIOTISM FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS; and for all of you who are familiar with Washington's Crossing of the Delaware, Andrew Breitbart was as miraculous . . . For all the right reasons, he persevered and gave hope to each of us that the impossible is possible . . . when we possess conviction . . . and love.
A west—coast liberal for years, he brought new-found intensity to the word 'conservative'. Yes, he had 'walked the walk', so to speak, and came out the other side with glory and, alleluia . . . he apologized to no one and walked tall with the love of country at his side . . . He was undaunting; he was righteous, and for all his passion, his genius, his glorious articulation, it was his heart and his soul that will give him a place in history . . .
What I shall do tomorrow in his memory is sign up as a volunteer for a candidate who believes in constitutionally-limited government, a balanced budget and the freedom our forefathers intended for us.
There will be no one who can replace him . . . one hundred men could not . . . but I shall march and keep his memory with me to the end of time . . .
I cry for his wife, his four little boys . . . I cry for them. As much as we have lost today in the name of Freedom, it is just a small speck of dust compared to losing a loving husband, an adoring father . . . I cry for all the stories he will not be able to read to those young boys and for all the moments of hand-holding that he and his wife shall no longer experience. I CRY FOR FREEDOM AND I CRY FOR THE VOICE OF FREEDOM THAT TURNED SILENT UNEXPECTEDLY LAST EVENING . . .
The loss of his voice has brought new volume to my own . . . I shall go forward in his memory.
God Bless Andrew Breitbart and God help the United States of America.
