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?
He should pick 10-conservative politicians and teach them how to give a speech.
OK, watch later.
Bill WHO??

Thanks for adding me to the ping list, Mr. Dog!
I’ve been watching Bill Whittle for a while. He’s a great evangelist of the basics.
I like it.
Used to be a firm fan of his Eject,Eject,Eject site.
Keep up the virtual appearances, Bill. If you can save just one low-information voter...
Wow, common sense is spades! Count me in.
