I never met him, but I heard him speak through the graciousness of many others who posted his speeches and interviews on the internet. I read his words eagerly, knowing they would always be sharp, to the point, not a word wasted or a comma added that wasn't absolutely necessary. AB was only 43 years old and died of natural causes in the early morning hours, today.
He was conservative politics on two feet, never resting, never pausing, never afraid to step up and take the shots. He was never afraid to call a spade, a spade, or a Quisling, a Quisling. Many writers today are calling him Conservatism's Happy Warrior, and it's a good epithet for him: he was joyful to take the fight to the enemy.
Best quotable quote, so far:
"You wish to honor the man? Very well, then: take up his sword, and fight as he did."
--Joshua Trevino, on Twitter
We must, you know. Andrew expects it of us.
