Andrew Breitbart is a model for individual activists tilting with collectivists and their hoodlum armies

Once again, in the midst of a triumphal celebration of collectivist certitudes, an indiviual has stepped forward with his hand up in the universal "stop" signal.

His name is Andrew Breitbart. He is the worst nightmare of ACORN, the rotten-to-the-core community organizing group that Democrats have subsidized, with tax dollars, to disrupt opponents and steal elections.

A veteran of internet news innovations, one of them the Drudge Report, Breitbart was the strategist behind the outing of ACORN's willful criminality by Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe.

Giles and O'Keefe secured promises of help from a number of ACORN offices for a scheme to import under-age prostitutes and use the proceeds to finance O'Keefe's campaign for Congress. Why so many saw O'Keefe as fit to run a whorehouse, and also fit to serve in Congress, remains a mystery.

Now, Breitbart is threatening another embarrassing information dump on the eve of the 2010 election if Attorney General Eric Holder does not undertake an investigation of ACORN.

If Holder caves, Breitbart will have engineered as complete a reversal of fortunes as any of us is likely to see. President Barack Obama once served as attorney for an ACORN affiliate.

At the moment, Democrats who control the House and Senate are pulling out all stops to enact the leading fascist proposal on President Barack Obama's agenda - government controlled health care.

Polls show that most Americans are opposed to the proposal by decisive margins.

That raises a question: why do the Democrats pursue with such zeal a proposal that may jeopardize their seats?

The obvious answer is that the Democrats don't expect to win the hearts and minds of voters. Instead, they plan to ram through a statist agenda and then turn loose two domestic armies - the SEIU union and ACORN - to register the dead and the nonexistent and  threaten, coerce and beat up voters who don't toe the line.

In Philadelphi, even the New Black Panthers have gotten into the act by intimidating voters at polling places, commiting criminal acts. They were pardoned earlier this year by President Barack Obama.

The pardon was important, but did not get the attention it deserved. It sent a signal to the Democrat street thugs that the administration would stand behind them when they are called to action again.

That will happen during the 2010 campaign and election, when Democrat incumbents will be in the cross-hairs of a growing conservative electorate infuriated by the administration's attempt to impose a fascist state.

This is why Breitbart's latest maneuver is crucial. He has responded to the implicit threat of a hoodlum-controlled election by threatening to release embarrassing new information about hoodlum-infested ACORN on the eve of the 2010 vote.

The threat is bound to cause unease because Holder does not know what Breitbart has on ACORN. But he does have a track record. This makes Breitbart a player, a skilled, experienced operator pursuing success on his own terms.

He's an antidote to the collectivists, as are all individuals who pursue life on their own terms.
