His objective: "destroy the institutional left."I read about the stunning, premature death of conservative firebrand Andrew Breitbart today. It was only at a distance that I followed his work, but I definitely admired his tenacity and utter fearlessness in confronting the very worst of liberalism and for speaking the undiluted truth about what that ideology wants to achieve in this nation. Simply put, Breitbart was a rakish trench fighter, with a hint of irreverence and scads of chutzpah, who rallied the troops on the front lines in the political and culture wars. Michael Walsh summed it up well in the tribute he wrote to Breitbart, linked above: "He was the kind of leader the Right needs more of — not a go-along, get-along time-serving functionary but a tactical commander on the battlefield, ever ready to take the bridge, fire the village, and move on to the next objective."
His loss is a severe blow to the conservative cause in America. Liberals feared his pen and, at times, his merciless wit and rhetorical stings. The apostles of liberalism are no doubt secretly (or not so secretly) glad that his voice is silenced, but his cause will go on in those who admired him and who still love this country. May he rest in peace.
The battle continues...
