This breaks my heart: Red State’s Mark Kilmer becomes the latest on a growing list, just in the past 15 months, of conservatives called home too soon. Erick Erickson has a heartfelt and eloquent post about Mark here. I never met Mark, but I invariably liked his stuff. He and I agreed on most things, including most things involving intra-conservative disagreements. More than that, he was knowledgeable, thoughtful and witty — and all of that came through on his blog posts, which is the only way (other than I think two quick email exchanges) that I knew him. This is a big loss. May Mark rest in God’s love.
