My favorite quote is-

Travel the world and you will find that for all of America’s injustice and stupidity and corruption - everywhere else is worse.

Bill Whittle, you are a good speaker and fine writer. You don’t need to resort to making ‘joke analogies’ about mental illness. I know a few who deal with it every day. It’s usually not a joke. I’m still glad you are out there trying to teach the truth, the way Glen Beck used to do.

I was mentally ill as well. I did vote for Carter and remember saying the same things as Mr. Whittle. I just KNEW that president elect Reagan already had his finger on the nuclear "button" and was proceeding with launch. And I didn't even know why I was saying it.

Coming to the political "light" was cathartic.

I don’t think he was making a joke - he was dead serious about being mentally ill as a leftie... doesn’t mean you can’t recover. I lived in that very same town where he went to school for almost 30 years (U of Florida) - the arrogance of the Left throws you off that they are indeed superior, when in fact they are just plain nuts and need help.

Bill Whittle is the strongest spokesman for conservatism in America today as far as I am concerned. Bar none.
