Andrew Breitbart:"Politics is downstream from culture.""Like all cultures, we get our values and morality from our mythology and in 20th and 21st century America,
our mythology mostly comes to us through the movies.""For a fantasy story to be truly great, it needs a memorable villain...Earl Babbie:
...willing to violate accepted moral principles in order to accomplish their goals."What sets a hero aside from the rest of humanity is the
willingness to assume a personal responsibility for public problems."
(image from http://barbaricthoughts.com)In our current political environment, of course, we already have a villian (Obama) --
but until now, no one on our side has been willing and/or able to be the hero.Enter Bill Whittle, the reluctant hero.Perhaps Bill is just at the right place at the right time, or maybe it's a case of "opportunity meets preparedness."In any event, it appears that Bill Whittle may soon "have greatness thrust upon him," by default.The "alternative" media have been buzzing about his "fire-breathing" defense of traditional conservative values
during a short (but powerful) address to David Horowitz's Restoration Weekend last November.Like Ronald Reagan before him, he energizes ordinary Americans by validating their deeply held beliefsToday's release of Bill Whittle's "Virtual Inaugural" video marks the beginning of his two-year quest to "shadow" President Obama --
with his full-throated, and logically consistent defense of small government and private enterprise, wealth creation,
individual liberty, American exceptionalism -- and many of our OTHER traditional conservative values.
to go where Obama goes (figuratively) -- and do what Obama does (virtually).
Bill Whittle intends to show the world how a CONSERVATIVE "virtual" President would respond to the same current events --
and answer the same kind of questions from the media -- as the current LEFTIST non-"virtual" President does.His goal is to show the American people what they **could have** had, if they had elected a better President LAST time --And if our current "leaders" will NOT listen, Bill may just have to do THEIR job for them, too. ;)
and to show the current "leaders" in our party how to effectively communicate our superior values NEXT time, if any will listen.
So, what do **you** think about Bill's plans?

might as well. most republican politicians won’t do anything other than support the dear leader.
American people are dieing and imprisoned for lack of vision..
Bill offers a “vision”...
The evil will hate it, the good will love it..
Will be easy to see which is which..
And they should be dealt with accordingly..
Awesome! Love it!
Time to feed the Google-bots. ;)

I LOVE THIS GUY! We’d be a lot better off with him as the ACTUAL president, instead of the Marxist community-organizer-in-chief.

Dear RonDog,
I haven’t yet watched BW’s stuff yet, as I do not have the time at the moment, but I will later. However, I just want to make this comment before the rest of this very long day catches up to me.
While BW articulates plans and principles, however well, he needs to articulate a vision - in simple terms. Like the StarTrek motto: To go boldly where no man has gone before. And then explain why, how, and when (plans and principles).
The left already has their vision: Free stuff for all paid for by someone else.
The Dems give full throat to the left’s vision, while the Repubs offer much the same, just a smaller, poorer version.
We must get beyond this inane navel contemplation which had so stricken our nation, if we are ever aspire to be more than a larger version of some European country.
Without a new, bold, fresh vision offering inspiration and hope, there is no way any set of plans and principles will ever appeal to those outside of the current crop of conservative. It will simply be more preaching to the choir, falling on deft ears, blind eyes, and silent voices.

Bill is my personal favorite source for political videos on Youtube.
