New American Hero: Bill Whittle

If you’re sick of trying to figure out what to think about WikiLeaks (discovering that diplomats are crass, disgusting, dishonest and conniving is news in what respect?), and fed up with John Boehner and Eric Cantor getting off to a rollicking tone-deaf start in their recent tax-related meeting with Obama (not even one month after the American people rose up in historic numbers and said NO and HELL NO to everything Obama is doing, the brilliant Republican leaders speak of the need to work with Obama to find common ground?), then take the time to listen to one or more of Bill Whittle’s seven part series on America’s exceptionalism.

Whittle is one of many emerging new faces in the alternative media (he's been involved at PajamasMedia), and he is notably among the brightest, most well-informed, and most articulate conservative commentators you will encounter. And the beauty of the online age is that presentations like his seven part video series cost very little to produce, yet through word of mouth and referrals like this one, can reach enormous audiences. The content is outstanding; a full-throated and sophisticated defense of America as founded. Anyone with an open mind would 'get it'.

The more we observe the nation’s ‘leaders’ at work, the more we believe we have never had a more desperate need for new blood in Washington. The new Congressional class of 2010 will have a dozen leaders who are stronger, more articulate and more in step with the revolutionary mood of the American people than John Boehner will ever be. And the retread Republican establishment candidates for President—such as Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee—just don’t have what it will take. America needs a new generation of Patrick Henry-style 'bipartisans'.

Bill Whittle may not himself become one of those political leaders, but his passion and presentations may be educating those who will. We salute him as a new American hero.
