The news of Andrew Breitbart‘s untimely passing is obviously hitting everyone hard right now. Right now I’m a little numb to it, for reasons I don’t care to go into, but I can hardly miss the massive sense of loss I’m seeing on my Twitter feed right now.
I feel no shame in saying I could never do what Andrew did, if only because he had the personality to be such a public figure, simultaneously doing everything in his power to fight what’s wrong in the country, and taking volley after volley of slings and arrows with a smile.
I can’t be Breitbart, maybe none of us can be, but we can be ourselves, and step up our own involvement to fill the void left for us this morning.
There are certainly enough of us to do it. They can’t take us all out. We can mourn today. But tomorrow, let’s roll.

lineholder (Diary) Thursday, March 1st at 12:13PM EDT (link)Strange, isn’t it, that in this fight we’re facing, we have people like Andrew Breitbart who pick up that sword (in his case, a sword of truth and justice) and carry it with them every where they go. We depend on them and rely on them, more than we might want to admit.
Then when an event of this sort occurs, we can’t help but wonder, “what do we do now? Who will step up now?”
Hopefully, we will each answer, in our own way, “I will. Let it be me”.
Thanks for the inspiration at a time when it is sorely needed.

Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.
