Today we sit in stunned silence, unable to fathom or calculate the measure of the loss we feel. With the passing of Andrew Breitbart early this morning, America as a collective has lost a true patriot, a warrior, and a passionate and unrelenting advocate of truth.
Tomorrow we will be asked to step into his shoes, a tall order if ever there was one, and take the torch from here. It will be up to us to continue the fight, to expose truth where it is hidden, and to shed light on the dark places that no one likes to talk about. We will be charged with finding our own voices in the continued struggle to protect and defend our own liberty. Much will be demanded of us in his absence, and we owe it to his memory to meet those demands head on.
236 years ago, Thomas Jefferson asked fellow patriots to pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Since then, few have lived up to that pledge. Andrew Breitbart was one of those few.
R.I.P. Andrew Breitbart. America has lost a dear friend and ally this day.
Thanks for writing a piece that Andrew would appreciate.
I remember Breitbart’s vibrant, energetic, and fearless speeches. However, my recollection of him hurrying out of the SGP Summit last summer to take his son to the Cardinal game stood out as I learned of his passing this morning.
May God shower His presence upon Andrew Breitbart’s family.
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death,
I fear not, for You Are with me.”
hard to find words – the loss is immeasurable
