"Virtual President" BILL WHITTLE to tape "Virtual Inauguration" speech, CONSERVATIVE response to BHO

...most of the Republicans in elected office can not explain their conservative positions because the largely do not believe in those principles.

And as they do not believe in these principles they can not articulate them to the American people at large. Mr. Whittle has a valid point here.

BINGO! I love Whittle and the way he presents ideas.

hahah “totally looks like” Mr. Jones had quite a lot of makeup on for that photo.

He’s getting older and softer...

Thanks for the ping!

Add me to the ping list!!! I like his Stratosphere Lounge episodes.

I'm getting ready for my NEW THREAD -- going up Monday -- when Bill releases the final version of his "Virtual Inauguration" speech.
The new THREAD, of course, is awaiting release of the new VIDEO -- which has not yet been posted. :(

Bill's business partner Jeremy Boreing said that the new, professionally edited video will be up on "Monday" --

...but knowing the creative process as I do, I interpret that to mean sometime before SUNRISE on Tuesday. :)

Until then, I will continue to prepare some of the best possible posts to include on that new thread -- like THIS ONE.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Here is a good summary of the video that first introduced Bill's current version of a "Virtual President" to the general public.

This particular 38-minute video is from the "Quesion & Answer" period following
one of Bill's traditional one-hour presentations to a local group of conservatives.
As we now know, like many of the top public speakers, Bill was using his time out "on the road"
to sharpen some of the ideas which he intended to use in his upcoming address at Restoration Weekend.

Bill Whittle running for [virtual] president
November 23 2012 by Christopher Cook
Most of us have experienced this: You’re in one of those bad dreams where something horrible has happened—
you wake up, and after you shake off the dream and the sleep and you realize that it was just a dream, you are so relieved.
Most have also experienced the reverse: You’re having a wonderful dream where something great has happened,
and then you wake up and discover it isn’t real. Not that your waking life is necessarily bad, but the dream was really nice.
About halfway through the video below, I thought to myself, “Oh no, this is going to be one of those things where by the end,
I will have become convinced that Bill Whittle IS the president, and then I will have to “wake up” and remember that Obama actually is.
A beautiful dream, a waking nightmare.
But then, near the end, Whittle—while not saying that he will run for president—does indicate that he will run for "virtual" president.
To understand what that means, you simply have to watch. And you should watch this video all the way through, because it is brilliant.
Whittle is amazing in his Afterburner and Firewall videos, but that amazingness could simply be scripted and well-delivered.
This is Whittle off the cuff, answering questions from a pretend press corps as if he were the president.
And it really is incredible to hear.
Seriously . . . . well worth your time!

Thanks for adding me! You really know my taste!

And, here is a nice summary of the video that blasted Bill Whittle's "Virtual President" concept deep into the conservative blogosphere.

Bill's hard-hitting 15-minute address at Restoration Weekend really resonated with the "base" of the Republican party,
who have grown weary of the squishy "establishment" Republicans inside the Beltway, who often sound like "Democrat Lite."

From The Dryer Report:

If We Had A Conservative In The White House

If we had a conservative in the White House the attacks in Benghazi might be dealt with
in a different manner. In fact the events throughout the world might be seen in another light entirely.

Bill Whittle who is a Los Angeles-based Writer/ Director and Pilot who writes about America,
history and conservative values, was speaking before a conservative audience at a David Horowitz Benefit Dinner.

In his speech to the gathered conservatives Mr Whittle explained how most of the Republicans in elected office
can not explain their conservative positions because the largely do not believe in those principles.

And as they do not believe in these principles they can not articulate them to the American people at large.
Mr. Whittle has a valid point here.

Because when he articulates a conservative position on the attack on the Benghazi consulate
it is so much different from what has been heard that it almost sounds foreign. It is so refreshing that one’s ears perk up and you tend to actively listen and actually imagine the what if...
...what if there was a true Conservative in the White House in present day America?

My how much different the world might be.
We have time to make this a reality and really elect a true conservative into the White House.

But why stop there?
Why not put true conservatives in the City Halls and Governor’s mansions throughout this Nation.

But hey... a step at a time.

Awesome! Thanks for the ping!

Thanks for this Ping List. I always enjoy Bill Whittle. I fond he articulates conservatism better than just about anyone.

Thanks for this Ping List. I always enjoy Bill Whittle. I find he articulates conservatism better than just about anyone.

Bill likes to use WORD PICTURES to drive home an important point -- like his story about the BEARS,
who become dependent on eating garbage, because it is easier.

We now have to reintroduce them to the personal satisfaction that they will enjoy
by WORKING (a little) -- to get much better food.

A Lesson in Irony – Take the Food Stamp program
By Harvey Miller
November 23, 2012

This year the Food Stamp Program (SNAP) administered by the U.S.Department of Agriculture is proud
to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever – to 47 million people.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior asks us
"Please Do Not Feed the Animals" because animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn
to take care of themselves...
Animals that are fed by people become dependent on human food, and may lose their
natural fear of humans and their ability to forage for natural foods. There is a lot of truth to
the saying, "a fed animal is a dead animal." In addition to losing their foraging ability,
animals that have been fed are less likely to survive other reasons. Animals that have been
fed from cars congregate near roadways and are at a high risk of being killed by vehicle collisions.
In recent years, the National Park Service has had to euthanize deer, coyotes, rock squirrels
and other animals at Grand Canyon that had become overly aggressive towards humans
and/or had become completely dependent on food handouts. Park rangers work to
preserve and protect park resources, including wildlife. NPS staff find it heartbreaking
when they are forced to euthanize animals whose aggressive behaviors were caused by
being fed by well-meaning people. [NPS.gov]

In his opening remarks, Bill introduces the phrase "Everything is Amazing, and Nobody's Happy" (by Louis C.K.)
as one of the primary themes of his "Virtual Inauguration" speech.

He said that, as a liberal, Louis C.K. would probably be offended that Bill referred to him favorably.
(Personally, I had never heard of Louis C.K. -- since I don't watch much TV.

It turns out that Louis C.K. was just voted by Rolling Stone magazine as the funniest man in America last year!

From The 50 Funniest People Now: Louis C.K. | Rolling Stone:

Louis C.K.
"Everything is Amazing, and Nobody's Happy"

In 2013, Louis C.K. is the Great American Comedian: our chubby, schlubby, ginger-haired conscience, id, and jester-in-chief.
He's a poet of existential malaise, but his signature standup bit, "Everything is Amazing and Nobody's Happy,"
extols the beauty of life and the magic of modern technology...
