    Thumbs down Commentator Andrew Breitbart dies at 43

    Conservative blogger, media publisher and activist Andrew Breitbart has died at the age of 43, according to his website.

    He died of natural causes early today, the website says in a statement.

    His death was confirmed by Joel Pollak, editor-in-chief of his website, who says he was at the hospital, the Associated Press reports.

    Breitbart was an outspoken critic of the mainstream media. His efforts were behind controversial investigations that led to the resignations of former Rep. Anthony Weiner and former Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod.

    He was lionized by his fans for his efforts at exposing government corruption and media bias, the AP says.

    When young people die suddenly there's usually an investigation.

    Wow, he was young. Probably a massive heart attack. Stress will kill you.

    People who subscribe to the right wing ideology are full of internal conflict. That can take its toll on a body.

    where as blissful ignorance (aka leftardation) is totally stress-free


    Scandal? The government dispatched more firepower to arrest Nakoula Basseley Nakoula in Los Angeles than it did to protect its mission in Benghazi.

    Many people in this world are comfortable in their skin. We aren't embarrassed by what we feel or what we do. We aren't obsessed with privacy issues or lack of sufficient firepower nor misrepresent our motives and goals in order to persuade others. We're open, consistent and generally at peace with life. We're not afraid of it, people we don't know, or new ideas.

    Then, there are those who are attracted to the right wing ideology. Many of them believe that Jesus had all the answers, yet don't pay much attention to those answers in their lives. They're selfish and self-centered and more prone to follow the Old Testament version of social justice rather than what their savior replaced it with. They know that's not what they're supposed to be doing, but that's the way they're wired. They're full of conflict between what they know they should be feeling and doing and what they actually feel and do. That leads to a lifetime of guilt, and that's stressful.

    Even the non-Christians know that their views are self-centered and not best for their country nor their fellow man. Sure, "when everyone is better off, everyone is better off" but they don't care about everyone, only themselves. It's important only that they themselves are better off, and whatever it takes to achieve that is what they're going to do no matter who gets hurt. That's not their problem. The problem, to them, is what or who stands in their way. They essentially have no soul and, for those who are capable of reflection, it bothers them, and over a lifetime that's stressful.

    Stress doesn't affect them all, just the ones who are introspective enough to realize that what they're feeling and doing isn't what they know in their hearts they should be feeling and doing. All they have to do is come clean and straighten up their act, but one of their major deficiencies is weakness of character. That pretty much dooms them. They'll go to their graves, some sooner than others, muttering in their beards about how things are never they way "they're supposed to be". They wish they didn't feel that way because they know that it isn't everyone else who's wrong about everything, it's them.

    That's conflict. It's chronic. It's stressful.

    That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Congratulations for being so completely wrong.
