A very touching tribute

For Andrew Breitbart, is found here. 

I couldn’t stay long; the nearby burial service was ending and I wished to be gone before they passed by. I bent down on one knee, my hand touching the location marker as I said a very Catholic prayer in a Jewish cemetery, asking God to take Andrew James Breitbart into His eternal rest and favor. I didn’t cross myself so as to not offend anyone who might have happened to look my way, but inside I did. I then stood up and quietly walked away.

As I said, I’ve answered the question for myself.

Andrew Breitbart belongs to God now.

He couldn’t be in better hands.

Amen.

One slight quibble; I would have not mentioned where he was buried. There are just way too many crazy people, who hated the man’s guts, that are out there. Plus too, there are some things that should just be kept private. Breitbart belonged to his family, not us. Yes, he made himself public, but in the end. He was simply not ours. He made himself available, but now, he is gone and should be left to rest in peace.

Like many others, I never had any personal interaction with him; once, he did do something that made me angry. I will not go into it, as it really does not matter anymore. But, he was a powerhouse, who made lots of friends on both sides of the political spectrum. Heck, even his worst enemies said nice things about him, when he died. Which is a quite a feat.

The people that I feel sorry for, are his family; his Wife and Children. They are the ones who lost, not us. We will always have someone fighting against the liberals. We will always have blogs, twitter and facebook. However, Andrew’s family will never have — Well, Andrew, around anymore. This is the part that breaks me up to think about; that Andrew was so caught up in politics, that it caused or at least contributed to his demise. It should serve as a sobering reminder; one that we should all look after ourselves and not take any silly chances with our health and two, that we should all take a big step away from the computer and politics and enjoy life.

Rest in Peace Andrew — We’ll take it from here.

  1. I did think long and hard about whether I should mention the cemetery. However, it is already out there on the Internet, so it’s a moot point.

    1. I hear ya Jerry, I was not aware that it was out there. I’m sure there is a good deal of security at the place. I am just worried that some Obama supporter or worse, would deface the grave or something. I hope it does not happen, but there are sick people out there.
