A Great Man Died Today... Andrew Breitbart

It is shocking news today that Andrew Breitbart died last night from a massive heart attack.

My condolences go out to his family and friends for the loss and to the blogging community as well. Andrew was not only an inspiration for many bloggers but gave many a hand up by having them write on one of his "Big" websites.

While I can not claim Andrew as a close friend, I did have the pleasure of meeting him several times and having a long conversation with him at the Smart Girl Politics Summit last year in St. Louis. (Above picture is of Andrew speaking at the Summit.)

It was after the Summit and many of us attended a reception in the lounge on the top floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The room had large windows all around which created a beautiful panoramic view of the city. I was sitting alone staring out the window when suddenly Andrew came over and sat next to me. Now I had only just met him in the lobby (for the first time) as he arrived before the Summit so it surprised me that he would come over and sit down to strike up a conversation.

At first I talked to him about some of the Communist events I have covered and at one point he asked if I would write an article for one of his "big" websites describing my experience at a recent Communist award ceremony held in a union hall. I told him I would be happy to but unfortunately I never got around to writing it (something I regret now).

Eventually we began talking about his son, his home, how much he traveled and I was taken aback at how down to earth Andrew was, he was just like any other guy you would hang out with at a backyard BBQ. He was funny, intelligent and had the normal concerns just like everybody else.

But one concern he had over all others that day demonstrates, to me, what kind of man and father he was. Andrew asked me if I knew of anywhere that he could take his son the next morning ( his son came with him to St. Louis) so that they could go do something together that wasn't 'political'. After going through the usual list (Arch, Zoo, art Museum, etc) I finally suggested he might enjoy the famously haunted Lemp Mansion. Andrew seemed to like the idea and while I was invited to go, I couldn't (can't remember why) but some of my good friends like Dana and Chris Loesch, Jen and others were able to attend and had a great time.

But the fact that 'THE' Andrew Breitbart was more concerned with doing something memorable with his son rather than talking about politics, or himself, or making public appearances or anything else spoke volumes to me that day about his character and compassion as a human being and a father.

I will always remember Andrew not only as the New Media Icon he was, but as the caring human being and father that I was blessed enough to personally get to know.

Rest in Piece Andrew... You Will Be Missed..

No one will ever be able to fill your shoes..

Obama Campaign Fear Mongering: Warns of Tea Party "Extremism"

President Obama's group, Obama for America, is trying to use the threat of "Tea Party Extremism" in order to help raise money for his re-election. (You would think they would have come up with a new play book by now):

In just about 24 hours, Mitt Romney is headed to a hotel ballroom to give a speech sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, a front group founded and funded by the Koch brothers. Those are the same Koch brothers whose business model is to make millions by jacking up prices at the pump, and who have bankrolled Tea Party extremism and committed $200 million to try to destroy President Obama before Election Day. So in the hours before Romney courts two men obsessed with making Barack Obama a one-term president, let's see how many of us can chip in $3 or more to the Two-Term Fund. This number will update every five minutes to show how many people give in the 24 hours until Romney greets the Kochs: Here's what Mitt Romney told his supporters just after his victory in the Florida GOP primary: "We must not forget what this election is really about: defeating Barack Obama." Pitch in $3 or more over the next 24 hours to show that, while that message may fire up two oil-industry billionaires, it's also one that plenty of us are tired of hearing: https://donate.barackobama.com/The-Two-Term-Fund Thanks, Messina Jim Messina Campaign Manager Obama for America

Congressman Rangel Praises Communist Party USA Leader Who : "Made Profound Theoretical Contributions To The Class and Democratic Struggles In The US."

In an earlier article I exposed how Democratic Congressman Danny K Davis was to be the keynote speaker at a Communist Party USA event, but it would appear that he is not the only Democrat that openly supports the Communist Party.

During the recent 100th Anniversary celebration for the former Communist Party USA (CPUSA) Leader Henry Winston , letters of support were read to the crowd, including one from Democratic Congressman Charlie Rangel.

In the letter, Rangel expressed his regret for not being able to attend and praised the "profound theoretical contributions to the class and Democratic struggles in the United States" by the Communist Leader:

"Thank you for inviting me to the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Henry Winston. While I would very much like to join you I deeply regret I can not.

The public deserves to know the significant part of black and American history that is Henry Winston. His mission, to ensure equal rights and civil rights for African-Americans long preceded the emergence of racial equality with the current mainstream American political thought. Winston made profound theoretical contributions to the class and Democratic struggles in the United States.

During his life and career, he emphasised the struggle of minorities to obtain and secure civil and economic rights. His contribution to the fight against racism and exploitation have been more than beneficial to our lives and the lives of generations to come.

Congressman Rangel"

Here is a video of Congressman Rangel's letter being read to the Communists in attendance. (Begins at the 3:10 mark):

Ironically the only "profound theories" about "class and the Democratic struggle in the United States" that a CPUSA Leader can "contribute" are, of course, the theories of Communism.

So it would seem that as the United States continues to fall into the depths of extreme progressivism, the line between Democrat and Communist no longer exist since the heros of those who see the ruling class, the United States and the free market as their enemy, are now openly those of the 'Democrat Party'.

Democratic Congressman Is Keynote Speaker At Communist Party USA Event Meant To Slam Tea Party

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) was founded by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in Chicago of 1919 in order to, according to their own secret documents given to New York University:

"form “FIGHTING ORGANIZATIONS FOR SEIZING CONTROL OF THE STATE, for the overthrow of government and the establishment of the workers’ dictatorship.”

But with the destruction of the USSR in 1991, the CPUSA has been forced to change it's appearance from one of a secretive society bent on the internal destruction of the United States to one that is more Politically Correct and bent on the internal destruction of the United States.

Today, the modern CPUSA claims to peacefully fight for equality for all workers while wanting to replace Capitalism with Socialism. The claim of being peaceful seems to fly in the face of the facts that the CPUSA's youth group, The Young Communist League (YCL) , lists the ruling class as their enemy and have a local branch that supports violent revolution, only if it can be successful and if it leads to a Democratic, just society.

Knowing all of this about the CPUSA, who would want to associate with them?

A Democratic Congressman of course...

According to a posting on the CPUSA news, People' World, Congressman Danny K Davis, Representative of the 7th district in Illinois, is the keynote speaker at a CPUSA event this Sunday called:

"Tea party" Congress can't stop the fight for equality!"

Here is a screen shot of the event listing (click to enlarge):

Judging by the title, this is an event meant to bash the Tea Party, but ironically it's being listed as "Celebrating African American History Month 2012". (I think the odds favor the words 'Racist' and 'Tea Party' being used extensively at this event.)

All three organizations sponsoring the event are connected to the CPUSA and the event is going to be held at the "Unity Center" in Chicago. The Unity Center is better known as the Haymarket Club aka Young Communist League headquarters.

While it may be surprising that a member of Congress would associate with the CPUSA, it's not surprising that it's Congressman Davis. According to Key Wiki, Congressman Davis is an openly Socialist member of Congress and has attended many fundraisers and award ceremonies for the CPUSA in the past.

But what may be truly disturbing is that this openly Socialist Politician and known supporter of the CPUSA actually has a seat in the Committee on Homeland Security. According to the CHS website, "The Committee was chartered to hold hearings and craft legislation for issues specific to homeland security." (I get daily visits by the DHS on my website, get listed as a threat in a DHS report as a Tea Party member and Congressman Davis has security clearance enough to sit on the CHS Committee and craft legislation? Anyone see something wrong here?)

So why is this a problem?...(As if you don't already know.)

Allow me to explain..

What we have here is an openly Socialist member of Congress who has agreed to be the keynote speaker at a Communist Party USA event meant to bash the Tea Party being held at the YCL headquarters (Both organizations with documented histories of wanting to overthrow the U.S. Government), who also happens to have a seat on the Homeland Security Committee.

If that one sentence doesn't throw into sharp perspective what is wrong with this country... then I don't know what does.
