  • Inspired by Andrew Breitbart’s Courage

    | March 2, 2012

    I haven’t been this affected by a death in quite some time. I feel so sad. There are so very few leaders on our side.

    I remember Breitbart telling the audience at CPAC that he was so busy talking and sharing with people that he didn’t take time to shower and clean up before his speech (which would be available for millions to see on the internet). That showed me his passion and his priorities.

    I found this family photo online which was taken a few years ago. May God comfort and provide for his dear family.

    I was so looking forward to Breitbart’s leadership during this election season. What a terrible loss. I watched many of the tributes to him today, with everyone mentioning his powerful courage and enthusiasm.

    Jonah Goldberg pointed out that Breitbart “truly loved the fight … One of his favorite pastimes was to retweet all of the hate that people threw at him because he considered it a badge of honor.”

    When nasty comments are directed at me, I give them little consideration in order to protect myself. Maybe the next time somebody tells me I’m going to hell because I don’t beat my kids, I’ll collect it under a category called “Badge of Honor”. Maybe the next time I am mocked with filthy disdain for having and homeschooling five children, I’ll consider it a pat on the back.

    Of all the wonderful comments by all of the great conservative leaders, I found these words by Congressman Louie Gohmert to be among the most touching, especially the ending.

    Rep. Louie Gohmert Pays Tribute to Andrew Breitbart

    “Thank you dear God, for the gift of Andrew Breitbart. We wish we could have kept him longer, but thank you for this marvelous gift.”

    That’s also a good way to look at my baby whom I lost before birth.

    I think Breitbart’s legacy will be one that inspires courage and passion. I think the thousands who have been touched by his life and saddened by his death will stand up for the truth. We will stand a little straighter, and a little taller – a little louder, and a little stronger.

    Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to WAR…

    I can’t believe this. :-(

    What a loss. There are so few good men. If only I had 1% of the courage that Andrew Breitbart had. Dead at 43. :-(

    “Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles…”

    “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.”

    He was a married father of four and had been adopted.

    The truth is marching on…

    Blacklisted, But Not Beaten
    http://www.theamericanconservative.com/blog/2012/02/16/blacklisted-but-not-beaten/print/

    “Without a hearing, they smear and stigmatize as racist, homophobic, or anti-Semitic any who contradict what George Orwell once called their “smelly little orthodoxies.” They then demand that the heretic recant, grovel, apologize, and pledge to go forth and sin no more.”

    “Defy them, and they will go after the network where you work, the newspapers that carry your column, the conventions that invite you to speak. If all else fails, they go after the advertisers.”

    “I know these blacklisters. They operate behind closed doors, with phone calls, mailed threats, and off-the-record meetings. They work in the dark because, as Al Smith said, nothing un-American can live in the sunlight.”

    Liberals’ Sacred Cow: Child Sacrifice

    | February 6, 2012

    George Will: ‘Historians will marvel’ over American liberalism’s defense of abortion [VIDEO]

    “First, the American left cares about ending wars and they care about poverty and they care about the environment, but they really care about — when they’re not perfunctory — is when you touch abortions. And historians will marvel that American liberalism in the first part of the 21st century is defined as defense of abortion.”

    Reminds me of Moloch:

    “First MOLOCH, horrid King besmear’d with blood
    Of human sacrifice, and parents tears,
    Though, for the noyse of Drums and Timbrels loud,
    Their children’s cries unheard that passed through fire.”

    John Milton, Paradise Lost

    “Tophet is Moloch, which was made of brass; and they heated him from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be moved.” 12th century Rashi, commenting on Jeremiah 7:31

    Beck and Palin Discuss Obama’s Latest Speech

    | December 8, 2011

    In case you don’t know American history, or only listen to mainstream media or heaven-forbid, CANADIAN television, please note that Obama’s speech yesterday, was full of LIES. I was actually shocked that Obama was so blatant in describing his beliefs and his deceptions. He knows the media is rooting for him.

    Beck‘s Very Epic Analysis of Obama’s ‘New Nationalism’ Speech — ‘He Is Lying’
    http://www.theblaze.com/stories/becks-very-epic-analysis-of-obamas-new-nationalism-speech-he-is-lying/

    “During Wednesday’s episode of the Glenn Beck Program on GBTV, Glenn noted that while at the Fox News network, he was advised to never call the president a “liar” under any circumstances. The logic being that the public would prefer to hear that the president “misspoke” rather than believing he could lie…”


    Obama’s speech
    1. Fairy Tales
    2. Class Warfare
    3. Income Inequality
    4. Fundamental Transforming of America

    My kids knew enough to trash all their stupid participation trophies and awards long ago. Nothing to be proud of. The participation awards make the awards that they actually did earn not mean as much.

    Column: The anti-Tebow bias isn’t about football
    http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/story/2011-12-02/tim-tebow-faith-media/51582844/1

    “Their dislike for Tim Tebow is not, as they would have us believe, about his throwing motion or his completion percentage; it’s all about his open professions of faith and his goody-two shoes image. When it comes right down to it, we don’t want heroes who are truly good. We want them to fail the occasional drug test or start a bar fight from time to time. It makes us feel better about ourselves. Tebow, however, doesn’t make us feel better about ourselves. People like him make us feel a little convicted about the things we say and do. So we find a reason to dislike them. Or, when Tebow says that glory goes to God and the credit for a victory goes to his teammates, coaches, and family, we are suspicious. An increasingly jaded culture, we don’t believe that anyone can say such things and really mean them.”

    “So we wait.”

    “We wait for evidence that he really isn’t that good. We hope to see him kick a player on the ground, drop an F-bomb on television, or Tweet pictures of his privates. In the meantime, we always have Penn State’s Jerry Sandusky to make us feel better about ourselves.”
