Thanks for posting this. I never knew Andrew had roots here. Once a Freeper, always a Freeper.

Thank you Kristinn. And thank you Jim and John for FR, where the eagles of freedom can gather.

May God guide our course.

Bump for later reading.

Thanks for posting these Kristinn. I have it bookmarked now. What a warrior he was!

I didn't know Tony Snow was a Freeper until he died, and now I find out Andrew was a Freeper. I had hopes of meeting Andrew because I wanted to encourage him to get BigEducation up and running. The domain is still just sitting parked. Even reading his posts I can see he felt opening up education to scrutiny was/is important.

thanks for the thread and info kristinn!

So glad you got to meet him. Andrew was a patriot and although I never met him, a true FReeper true and true.

FReegards, Yankee.

Thanks so much for posting this thread, kristinn. RIP Andrew. Prayers for his dear family, and all who loved him.

There is an apropos comment, with which I’m sure we all wholeheartedly agree, at Red State in response to Eric Erikison’s commentary with the most fitting title:

A Supernova Now Dark

Comment at above link by Gary Thompson:

“When a star explodes (goes nova) the remnants of that star are sent into the cosmos and they recombine with other matter until eventually there is enough mass and the new star ignites (and the process starts all over). This next generation star is made of more complex elements than just Hydrogen because these elements were fused in the stars that had previously gone nova. Our Sun is as least a 2nd generation star and was formed from the deaths of other stars.

Mr. Breitbart’s passing will cause others to take up the sword and become inspired by listening to his speeches or reading his commentaries.

Let his life be the inspiration to light the fires of thousands of new stars that will pick up the Conservative fight.”

In Breitbart’s memory, WE WILL NOT STOP TO REST.

Not a surprise that “andrew” was a Freeper...makes his loss abit easier but that much sadder...
a total shock, to the point where, yes, I’d start entertaining conspiracy theories a la Vince Foster...
AB was fresh off his CPAC speech stating he had some goods on O’bummer...situation is VERY interesting...

[SharpRightTurn]

Thanks for a good memoriam of this gentleman.

[Upstate NY Guy]

A great tribute! Thanks for all you work on this Kristinn.

Rest in Peace Andrew Breitbart.

[lonestar]

Those are some names from the past!

The good old days when FR was a place where some of our most creative minds met...Tony Snow, Barbara Olsen.

Many thanks, Kristinn.. The hard work you do is very much akin to that of Andrew. Glad to have you on our side!!

[afraidfortherepublic]

Believe me, when I heard the news the very first thing I thought about was s passerby with an umbrella.

Indeed! You are not alone with those thoughts.

[basil]

You have some beautiful memories, CAL-—I know you will always cherish them, and thank you for telling us about them.

When you get down my way, let me know, and I’ll drive wherever you are if you have time for lunch-——

Yes, thank you Kristinn.

To quote Ron Simmons, DAMN.

[basil]

Very well said, friend.

Hope you are doing well.

[Mountain Mary]

Great idea, Yaelle.
