'''Andrew Breitbart''' (pronounced BRIGHT-bart) (b. February 1, 1969 - March 1, 2012) was one of the most outspoken [[conservative]] journalists in America. He is the founder of [[Breitbart.com]], Breitbart.tv, BigJournalism.com, BigHollywood.com, BigPeace.com, BigGovernment.com and, BigEducation.com. His weekly columns appeared in the [[Washington Times]] and he was formerly a protégé of Matt Drudge's [[Drudge Report]]. He co-wrote a best-selling attack on celebrity culture called ''Hollywood, Interrupted.'' Breitbart worked with Arianna Huffington for a time and helped create the [[Huffington Post]]. Breitbart was a very visible member of the conservative media, constantly going after the [[liberal]] power structure and the [[mainstream media]] and was responsible for bringing [[ACORN]] to its knees with undercover journalism. Breitbart received the Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Award at CPAC in 2010.

He was born and raised in Brentwood, California. In 2011, Breitbart authored the book Righteous Indignation. Opening rank on Amazon.com #10 and #14 on the New York Times.

On March 1, 2012 it was announced that Breitbart had passed away during the night. He was 43.<ref>http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/01/andrew-breitbart-dead-at-43-according-to-his-website/ Andrew Breitbart dead at 43, according to his website, The Daily Caller, March 1 2012</ref>

==ACORN==
:''Main article: [[ACORN]]''
His greatest success was undercover journalism performed by his employees James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles against ACORN. His associates filmed ACORN giving advice on setting up brothels involving underage prostitution trafficking as well as tax evasion tips at four ACORN offices around the country. In a brilliant strategy, he would release one tape which ACORN would dismiss. Then other tapes to stir the pot. A fourth tape was released that turned into a national firestorm which bypassed the corrupt media who refused to cover the liberal-aligned group. The outrage that followed forced Congress to defund ACORN and Breitbart is credited with having them removed from partnering with the [[Obama Administration]] on the 2010 Census. [[Wade Rathke]], ACORN founder, and [[Bertha Lewis]], his puppet CEO had to change the name of the organization because Breitbart's work had sullied their image. State affiliates reorganized under new names in New York and California, others were banned from operating in Ohio and Maryland. Breitbart put ACORN on the defensive which is still reeling from his work and has announced it's closing business, bankrupt. <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,589768,00.html ACORN Closing in Wake of Scandal, FOX News, March 22, 2010]</ref> .

==2010 Annual NAACP Conference==
The day after the [[NAACP]] issued a statement calling the [[Tea Party movement]] racist, Breitbart showcased the power of [[conservative media]] by releasing video footage showing Shirley Sherrod of the [[USDA]] addressing a past NAACP conference about how she acted in a racist manner to offer very minimal help to a bankrupt farmer because he was Caucasian. The video went viral and the White House got involved to make Sherrod resign. <ref>[http://biggovernment.com/publius/2010/07/20/obama-administration-stands-by-decision-to-fire-sherrod/ Obama Administration Stands By Decision to Fire Sherrod, BigGovernment.com, July 20, 2010]</ref>

==CPAC 2010==
Breitbart was video taped going after liberal columnist Blumenthall, calling him a "despicable human being" for writing lies, treating [[James O'Keefe]] as racist, a now common liberal media attack weapon. He is not afraid to confront dishonest journalists and their corrupt reporting. He gave speeches talking about the mainstream media saying "The Gig Is Up - You’re Not on the American Team."

==CPAC 2011==
Major conservative groups are backing out of the annual conference to protest the inclusion of the [[gay]] group GOProud. Breitbart defends their inclusion and he planned to throw a party for gay conservatives at CPAC. "I'm working on getting a venue," he said. "The first annual Roy Cohn CPAC Breitbart Homocon Welcoming 80's Extravaganza. I'm thinking of DJ-ing." <ref>[http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-cpac-20110108,0,4410541.story Some right-wing groups to skip GOP event, LATimes, January 8, 2011]</ref>

==CPAC 2012==
A major speech from Breitbart with many revelations. First, he wants the public not to be afraid to call [[Barack Obama]] a "[[Radical]]". Next, he described his dinner with domestic terrorist [[Bill Ayers]]. Third, that he has video tapes from Obama's days at college. Breitbart will expose the radical Obama and his radical ties that the [[Lamestream media]] knowingly suppressed from the public. <ref>[http://weaselzippers.us/2012/02/10/hmmm-andrew-breitbart-at-cpac-i-have-videos-of-obama-from-his-college-day/ Hmmm: Andrew Breitbart At CPAC, “I Have Videos” of Obama From His College Day…, Weasel Zippers, February 10, 2012]</ref>

==Congressman Weiner==
Liberal Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner used Twitter to send lewd photos of himself. Breitbart exposed this act, dubbed WeinerGate. Weiner tried to deny it was him, blamed he was hacked by [[conservative]] vandals and stated in public that Breitbart was lying. As the story went nationwide, Weiner was pressured to step down. Weiner arranged a conference in [[New York]]. Weiner was late to the conference and Breitbart showed up, and took the microphone to denounce Weiner, demanding an apology. Weiner showed up, announced he had lied and was retiring. Also, he apologized to Breitbart.

Laser

2012-03-01T16:35:44Z

BenHoff:

[[Laser]] is a word formed from the acronym "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation."

Laser beams are [[phase coherent]] and self-[[parallel]] (they do not spread out), due to the way they are created, although many cheap laser pointers exhibit beam dissipation due to cheap manufacturing. This is much more of a problem with Indian and Chinese-manufactured components, as American manufacturers are held to higher standards in workmanship and materials. <ref>http://www.thechinaexpat.com/what-everybody-ought-to-know-about-chinese-manufacturing/</ref>

The use of lasers is very important in [[science]] and [[medicine]]; they have also become ubiquitous in [[CD-ROM]] and [[DVD]] players and as pointers.
[[http://lisa.jpl.nasa.gov/]] They're also used in bar code scanners.

Talk:Essay: Evolutionist nerds, say goodbye to Mars exploration

BenHoff:

My Goodness. Projection much? --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 02:51, 29 February 2012 (EST)
:I think this is a great addition to User:Conservative's other [[Essay:Comedy_and_satires_concerning_atheism_and_evolution|Essay:Comedy & satires concerning atheism and evolution]] works. At first I thought this essay was to be taken seriously, but after reading lines like "''Yes, evolutionist nerds. Grand men explore the Grand Canyon and don't waste taxpayer money exploring dead and lifeless planets''". That's when I realized that Conservative was giving a subtle wink and nod that this was a bit of over-the-top parody/satire on his part. The article's over-hyping on the main page, extravagant use of nonsensical pictures, and campy wordplay completes the comedy. --[[User:JoshuaB|JoshuaB]] 21:28, 29 February 2012 (EST)
:::JoshuaB, the use of wikis is expanding and there are a number of specialized and corporate/commercial wikis out there. I have been asked to write for a few of them as a paid writer. I may take them up on their offer. Do let me know if some Atheism and evolution satire wikis launch and are seeking some paid writers. :) [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 21:40, 29 February 2012 (EST)
::::It would seem that congratulations are in order. Though I am not a particular fan of paid wiki editing as it typically amounts to shilling for some corporation, special interest, or political candidate that has no real grassroots following. That said, I'll keep my eye out for wikis hosting atheism and evolution satires... but I'm fairly certain Conservapedia has the market cornered in that regard. --[[User:JoshuaB|JoshuaB]] 22:35, 29 February 2012 (EST)
:::::::There is going to be more paid wiki editing as far as specialized/corporate/commercial wikis grow in number and size. It's no big thing. A few people heard I did some wiki editing and asked me if I would edit their wiki as a paid writer. Despite difficult economic times in many parts of the world, there are still a lot of good opportunities if you talk to people and have some initiative.

Are we really spending money on Mars exploration when millions of children in America are going hungry because of liberal damage to the economy? We should have said "goodbye" to Mars a LONG time ago! [[User:BenHoff|BenHoff]] 11:26, 1 March 2012 (EST)

Bankruptcy law

2012-03-01T15:58:28Z

BenHoff:

'''Bankruptcy law''' is the area of [[federal]] [[law]] dealing with the handling of [[bankrupt]] [[persons]] or [[business|businesses]]. In bankruptcy, all debts are nominally discharged, meaning that [[creditor|creditors]] must fight for primacy of their claims, or face a [[debtor]] who has no more money to pay out. Liberals are almost twice as likely as conservatives to declare bankruptcy, as paying one's debts and living within one's means are primarily conservative values, as opposed to the liberal values of instant gratification and government intervention.

Detroit

2012-03-01T15:56:38Z

BenHoff:

'''Detroit''' is the largest city in the state of [[Michigan]], and the 11th most populous city in the United States. It has a population of 871,121 and is 138 square miles in size.<ref>http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/26/2622000.html</ref> Founded by French explorer Antoine Cadillac on July 24, 1701 as Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, the city reached a peak population of about 1.85 million in 1950, but has now declined to less than half that.<ref>http://www.historydetroit.com/part_2.asp</ref><ref>http://www.historydetroit.com/stats.asp?4</ref> It is part of the American [[Rust Belt]], a group of formerly prosperous cities that, due to mismanagement, became so beholden to liberal interests that industry failed, for the most part. Social programs, of which there are many due to the poor economy in these cities, are a continuing drain on Detroit's finances and government.

==Politics==
Designated as [[United States|America's]] most liberal city, Detroit is predominantly Democrat.<ref>http://www.govpro.com/News/Article/31439/</ref>

==History==
The first permanent structure built in Detroit was a Catholic church.

In 1979, Iraq dictator [[Saddam Hussein]] was given a key to the city after donating $450,000 to a Christian church.<ref>http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/03/26/iraq/main546287.shtml</ref>

Detroit is known for being the center of the American auto industry, as well as the home of many long-suffering football fans.

Felony

2012-03-01T15:53:16Z

BenHoff:

A '''felony''' is crime considered serious, generally punishable in the [[United States]] by one year or more in prison or by death. [[Murder]], for instance, is a felony.

Note, however, that many new crimes are also felonies. For example, in some cases draining water from your property without a government permit or removing asbestos from your property without government authorization may be a felony. Such "crimes," which affect nobody but the property owner, have only under recent, liberal administrations become the government's business.
