It sounds kind of weird, but the death of Conservative crazy man Andrew Breitbart has hit me with a different perspective. I am personally a grown up conservative that has inched into a libertarian. There are many things that I don't feel that needs to be legislated and let alone to the individual.
But one thing that I do see a lot of is unfairness in the media... and Andrew fought for that day and night.
As a quick history lesson, one of the goals of the Communist Party listed by former CIA agent Cleon Skousen in his book The Naked Communist, is to take control of Hollywood and the media (this was written in 1958). Thus, instead of winning communism by logic, or even war, lies have to be created and they have to "sing and dance" the message to create an "emotion" to get people to adhere to communism. There are those few who think Communism "works", but history shows people end up dying in the end.
So it has become obvious that the media has an agenda. What long term agenda that is, I am not sure. You can say a "leftist" agenda, and that would be close, but I think it is deeper then that. I am still trying to figure that out.
What ever agenda that may be, the truth is that lies happen. And it is up to guys like Andrew Breitbart to point that out. And he did a wonderful job of that, which takes me to my next point. Andrew was a character.
If you get a chance, type in Breitbarts name anywhere on Youtube. There will be people that will hate him, but whether you do or not, it is fun to watch things like Andrew facing protesters and try to convince them they are just chanting a slogan given to them by their union boss. Or with fire, call people out on a lie someone posted on the news or on a blog. And he did it with such an LA "dude" type of speech, it was hilarious to watch.
Andrew was rough around the edges, but he had character, which is something conservatives have been lacking. The left has all kinds of characters that people have learned to fall in love with, even if you disagree with them. But the right has been short of those who have tough voices who won't just give the "political" answer.
So, because he has passed away, I am making a prediction that a sleeping giant has been awakened. His face (as harry and as chubby as it may be) will be imaged underground in many places like that of Che, Bob Marley or jim Morrison. It will represent that movement that has long been sleeping and is effecting more young people then before.
