Building on the late Andrew Breitbart’s legacy of cultivating the next generation of conservative leaders and citizen-journalists in media, the National Bloggers Club announced three major initiatives on Friday, the one-year anniversary of Breitbart’s passing.  1) The Breitbart Blogger Scholarship: Citizen journalists

Bob Woodward sat down for a frank talk with Sean Hannity to discuss the attacks on him for reporting that the idea for sequestration originated with Barack Obama. Hannity asked him about the conversation Woodward had with Gene Sperling, Obama’s

One year ago, conservatives everywhere received the shocking news that Andrew Breitbart had passed away. He was only 43 years old.  I am proud to have been able to work with him and call him a friend. Andrew and I

Sadly, I did not know Andrew Breitbart as well as some others in the Tea Party and conservative movements. Andrew and I spoke on the same Tea Party circuit and at many of the same events in the Tea Party

Andrew Sullivan, the author who still harbors serious doubts about the veracity of Sarah Palin’s ultimate pregnancy, has determined that outgoing Pope Benedict is gay.  In a post titled “Two Popes, One Secretary,” Sullivan writes that since Benedict will live

“But, why?!?” Andrew implored. “That’s just crazy. Who are these people?” “These people” were the general conservative and Republican establishment, both in DC and around the country. It was late 2003 or early 2004. (As I get older, dates get

Ali Velshi is CNN’s Chief Business Correspondent and Barack Obama’s Chief Sequester Propagandist. This so-called correspondent is a living breathing pipe-organ for the White House and its latest push to blame sequester — and by extension, the GOP — for

Andrew Breitbart loved his family, loved America and “America’s Pastime,” the game of baseball. A few years ago he and I split some season tickets to the Dodgers. Tickets we divvied up in the bleachers of his son’s Little League

Andrew Breitbart was a force of nature. A merry prankster, who loved life, lived it passionately; each day to the max. A man who truly was FEARLESS.  When I heard the news on that fateful morning, I was in shock. I

The world is one year into its post-Andrew Breitbart phase and I’m sitting here torn about two paths I could take in trying to connect with you about him.  My first instinct is to play the pundit and pontificate on

The terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 made me a conservative. Andrew Breitbart convinced me to put on a helmet and join the culture war. My political awakening began under the gimlet eyes of conservatives like Charles Krauthammer, Rush Limbaugh

I met Andrew Breitbart the way most conservatives in Los Angeles meet. A friend from D.C. introduced us.  After we had known each other for a few years, I invited Andrew one night to the cast and crew screening of

I first met Andrew Breitbart sitting in a secret meeting at an undisclosed location for an organization that doesn’t exist. Being a conservative in Hollywood can be daunting, especially back when President Bush was in the White House. Every now

I was never as close to Andrew as many of the others at Breitbart News, but I met him dozens of times at the events we both covered and attended and we grew close enough that he soon remembered my

Leave it to Mike Allen, one of the White House’s designated spokespeople at Politico, to misquote one of Politico’s own stories in order to push the Obama sequester-end-of-the-world agenda. This morning on Politico’s Playbook, Allen quoted a story from his

There is no greater danger to the left (and therefore the media) than minorities who “forget their place” and join the Republican Party. Each time this occurs, it represents a two-part existential threat. First, these apostates undermine the cherished media

Hours before the $85 billion sequester cuts will take place, we learned that personal income dropped 3.6% last month, the biggest drop in two decades. Weeks before the awful-terrible-doomsday 2% cut in the federal budget takes place, we learned that

Andrew Breitbart’s quest for the truth served as an inspiration to people around the globe. It had a profound impact on both of us as well. Andrew not only served as a fellow warrior in the trenches of journalism, but

“The sequester is not something that I’ve proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed.” – Barack Obama The President of the United States is lying. He’s not lying about his personal life sex a la Bill Clinton; he’s lying

For a few weeks after Andrew Breitbart’s death, I allowed my personal sorrow to color my worldview. All around me, I heard brave voices saying that Andrew’s spirit would never die, that fresh hands would pick up the torch that

Andrew came a-courting one day. He had been introduced to my daughter, Susie by my son Max, her brother.  Max and Andrew were best friends. Just out of college, Max worked as a busboy at a high-end restaurant called 72

It’s almost impossible for me to believe that it’s been a year since we lost Andrew Breitbart. He was a conservative leader, larger-than-life personality, a husband, a father of young children, and a dear friend of mine for over 15

It’s been a year since we lost Andrew Breitbart.  In sorrow, we’ll reflect upon what was, what wasn’t, and what is: specifically, the fate of Andrew’s “Pop-Cultural Conservatism.” In a Republic where the consent of the governed and their delegation
