Over at Big Hollywood, Larry Solov writes about the passing of Andrew Breitbart, who passed away last night from natural causes. Andrew Breitbart passed away at an age when most of us are just starting to hit our prime. His work includes the founding of several web sites that have been important in bringing truth to the people of America about the hate, destructiveness and corruption on the left, including BigHollywood, BigGovernment and BigJournalism to name just a few. You can find his web sites in the links on this site, RedMoonJournal, in the right hand column and I urge you to continue to visit them often, as I will continue to do. Breitbart’s achievements will live on and remain a testament to his life and courage. He was an indefatigable fighter for truth, justice and freedom.
His loss is a great sadness for all of us in the conservative movement, but we can honor his memory by carrying on the work to which he dedicated himself. No doubt the people who worked with him will continue to fight the good fight for the freedom of this great country and carry on his work. And of course, thoughts and prayers to his family.
And below, you can see his recent appearance at CPAC.
With a terrible feeling of pain and loss we announce the passing of Andrew Breitbart.
Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.
We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.
Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.
Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:
I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.
Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.
Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us.
Bring it on!
