HELP! How Conservatives Can Lift Each Other Through Disturbing Depressing Times

A week after a deeply-personal revelation of his mental and emotional state, Bill Whittle reports a flood of response from Members and viewers who rallied around him with encouragement, prayer, and fellowship. What a model for how Conservatives can lift each other through disturbing, depressing times! Maybe it’s your turn to ask for help.

The Virtue Signal comes to you twice weekly thanks to those committed patriots who devote themselves to the cause, and contribute from their personal means.

The Lord DID found an institution and he made it distinct when he prayed that it should be one with each other as he and the Father are one. The very fact that you experience division and conflict to this institution makes one wonder. Those who are not against the Church can only be for her, but those who put themselves against her must be corrected and resisted.

The Lord said, my blood is true drink and my flesh is true bread. How many bibles have you drank? How many to live on for the week? The gifts of God are spirit, and the flesh is also perfected by Spirit. The Church is body and a structure, which the gates of hell cannot overcome, the place that is also a structure and has a system.
The Lord has always had a place where his name dwells. The Catholic Church is the longest surviving institution on the face of the earth, and it is surely because of God that she endures, despite the men who serve Her or often fail us. And she continues to produce saints, the proof and fruit of her goodness.

Yeah, think about this … the quality of the people who follow you. People of that caliber … come to YOU … for inspiration.

Now don’t get a big head over it. 😉 But seriously, consider that.

I think the lack of ability (no, not ability, inclination…) to ask for help is rampant among our “side”. Because we are inclined to be individuals and take responsibility for our own paths. But everybody needs help sometimes. There is a reason we are social animals.

Gary, I pray that the Lord Jesus will walk with you through the grief and pain, provide comfort, lift you from despair, and supply even joy in the remembrance and a sense of His purpose and glory on the horizon.

I am so sorry. There is nothing else to say, except what C.G. McCann said below: thank you for your service to our country, and God bless you.

I’m very sorry for your loss. I can’t think of anything else to say except to remind you that you have friends, and you are not alone.

I am so sorry for your loss! I pray that you will feel the LORD’s comfort, peace and love. AMEN!

Zo, I love the way you are so Biblically grounded. I once preached a chapel message at a Christian college here in Japan on “I hate Christianity, but I love Jesus.” At least one student made a commitment to Christ because of that, and referenced it in her confession of faith before baptism. Bill, I love the way you are so willing to be open and vulnerable. That’s why you are so loved, and why God uses you so powerfully. Blessings on you both!

Oh yeah. One other thing. The world owes you nothing.
Learn it. Live it. Love it.

The reason I know this is that my parents weren’t my friends. They spanked me to teach me consequences while introducing me to the library as the key to unlimited success.

Thanks Mom and Dad. Thank you so much.

It’s not exactly Martin Luther, but here you go…

  1. You guys missed the most prolific example. Christ cried behind a rock in the garden of Gethsemane while begging not to be crucified.
  2. If He can go through that, we can go through anything.
  3. Resting after a long productive day is not a weakness.
  4. Get tough. They are the bad guys not us as much as they would like to claim otherwise. Tell your neighbors, kindly, to take off their masks out of respect to those who died and were maimed for our freedoms as well as their families. Let them know they are damaging their children.
  5. This is a war against globalist, Marxist evil including Ovomit. I refuse to address him any other way.
  6. We are winning. King Ovomit just struck out…Strike One: Virginia voters rejected his claim that CRT wasn’t a problem…Strike Two: Ordinary people saw Clarence Clemons as a nigger…Strike Three: Ovomit’s idioticspeech at COP26 where the moron showed his stupidity by referring to Scotland as the “Emerald Isle” and the home of “the Bard’ (Shakespeare). Obviously, the moron is being sold out by his globalist, racist handlers.
  7. Their levers of globalist power are failing…Ovomit flying his jet to the COP26 to fight “climate change”. Voter ID being evidence of “systemic racism.” Screaming for social justice and color blindness while intimidating the juries for Derek Chauvin and Kyle Rittenhouse and locking J6 protestors in solitary confinement. Screaming for equity while telling your “community” that working hard, educating yourself, being on time and speaking properly is “acting white.”
  8. Melting down with a violent tantrum when you hear the word ‘nigger” while claiming to be strong black and proud and pretending everyone else should cater to you is complete b.s. and tyranny. Nothing gives you the right to assault other people, and I don’t give a flying f*ck if that hurts your feelings.
  9. It’s OK to swear when combating true evil.
  10. It’s OK to celebrate when defeating Marxist evil a$$holes. That’s not schadenfreude. No one is celebrating unjustifiably.
  11. Generational wealth results from delayed gratification. It’s not our fault that your parents or lack thereof didn’t teach you that.
  12. The time for making excuses to enable the laziness of race-card wielders is over. They can stop smoking blunts at 8am and get to work.
  13. I obviously don’t give a crap if someone calls me a racist for highlighting their hypocrisy as they take advantage of my generosity and neither should you.
  14. I didn’t promise illegal aliens anything except deportation if caught, and I refuse to feel guilty for giving them their just due. Criminals are not welcome here.
  15. Anything else call my office at 1-800-AMERICA.

I get the “Light At the End of the Tunnel.”

I’m just tired of that light being a fast moving Freight Train coming to roll over me…AGAIN!

Eighteen months without a permanent job. Now, I get hired on in my area of expertise, and I’m facing termination because I won’t take the Vaccine…. And I have offers coming at me Left and right…but they ALL demand I take an Experimental Vaccine that violates my faith and could very likely destroy my body.

I am tired of being in this mess! I need a job and I need to maintain God-given sovereignty over my body.

Not sure where you are or what you do for a living but my husband is looking for welders here in AZ. No vax required.

I’m a retired Army Officer. My expertise is in Leadership & Training Management. The best jobs available to me (that will pay the bills) are either as a GS Federal Government employee or a Military Contractor.

If I could weld, I might apply.

Thank you for the encouragement, though. It does help.

I am with you there…
Many at my base are protesting the mandate and refusing to be jabbed, and there doesn’t seem to be any end to this. Resident Biden seems to be playing chicken on this issue, thinking you’ll budge first.
I am so lucky myself in that I have retired, and don’t have to stare down civilian firing in the face.
Hang in there… there is a way out even if we don’t currently see it…

You might want to consider getting a blank CDC card (might cost you a few bucks) and forging the data. And then feel good about not obeying an unjust mandate.

No one should have to make such a choice. I pray that God gives you strength and courage, and that your path becomes visible to you. Perhaps it is an opportunity in disguise. That sounds so banal and presumptuous, but get out of the tunnel and look around, see what is possible. Maybe start your own company. Maybe work for companies that aren’t tied to the federal trough. Maybe do something completely different. Maybe help someone else trying to create a new company. Just spitballing, but maybe something will strike a spark.

God bless you and I will pray for you.

Bill, I don’t think you and Zo realize how much you help us every video you post. I am a U.S. Army veteran who has had an up and down life, but faith in God has lifted me out of my depression. I am (Impressed?) with how down to earth you two are. I feel better each time I watch you two.
I would recommend that Bill read W.E. Henley’s poem, “Invictus”

Bill & Zo – 
I am not a particularly religious person, but I did grow up going to church every Sunday and I am a Christian.
One sermon stuck with me more than others. Our Minister talked of how so many of us are committed to developing our strength, and how that manifests sometimes in our turning down help from others. He ended his sermon with a small prayer that I’ll never forget. “May we be strong for ourselves and others, and when we need to, may we must also be strong enough to receive.”

Great episode! Isolation is a horrible thing, and so unnecessary. The “powers that be” really want us to be isolated, which we should vehemently resist. I will just take exception to one point, that being that God will never give you more than you can handle. Not true! If that was the case, we would never need His help! Modify it to “God will never give you more than you can handle using His strength,” and now it’s true. “Through me”, not “from me.”

Thanks to you Bill and Zo! There are so many gems and truths in this discussion. Its amazing how blackness and darkness can get blacker and darker. Can I give a variation?…. I’m a Christian and I’m having some bad years. I’m two years into a divorce that I wanted no part of. I still love the woman that divorced me. I lost my dad last July (WWII vet, Utah beach, Battle of the Bulge, concentration camp liberator). He was 96. I have five sons and a daughter and my oldest sons are not responding to me. I live alone. I cannot describe the darkness and loneliness I feel when it ‘seems’ like things are so wrong that not even God can fix them. I know this is not true but sometimes the sadness and loneliness are crippling. Fortunately I eagerly did reach out for help, ironically at the request of the woman who would ultimately reject me. I’m still in the midst of the storm but I have living buoys surrounding me.

Zoe mentioned the light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes it’s a train. Last week it was a group of listeners with flames of hope. I am happy it helped. God bless you Bill.

Great discussion gents! Bill – so very glad you got through this low spot. Just remember that what you do is important to quite a few people. You give us the ammunition to do what we can to fight on.
Zo – I appreciate your views on the word and the distinction between the Lord and religions.
One of the reasons my wife and I attend the church that we do is that it is one that is not controlled by an overarching “Church” such as I had growing up. We worship the way that works for us.
Bill – find a way to recharge your batteries periodically. We need you on that wall.

Bill in the previous episode of The Virtue Signal you signaled to us that the feeling of being down can happen to anyone.
Zo’s take on Christian apologetics is uplifting.
Thank you both for being ‘friends’.

I was on vacation last week and did not watch the episode in question. I will echo what others have already said. Bill, you are not alone, and you will never be alone. You bring knowledge, trust, understanding and love to many many people, every week, several times a week. We are here for you. And we know you have always been here for us. We take comfort from you, Zoe, Steve and Scott on a constant and recurring basis. And that is a 2 way street. We are and will always be here for you.

Hi, Bill. Just want you to know how much you mean to me. Whenever I think all is lost, I listen to you “As President OF the US” and all the wisdom you share. Keep in mind, it never takes more than 10% of the population to change the outcome of anything.
We are just like the ubiquitous tent caterpillar– there are active and passive individuals. If you remove the 10% of active caterpillars who crawl around inside the tent and spread the pheromone to get others out of the tent to feed, the rest will stay inside and starve, There are 10% of us who spread the word of freedom, and you are a star.

It was so nice to hear such heart-felt words, and completely understand the feeling. Like other people, I also lots friends, nights of sleep, handfuls of hair etc. But it can be overcome! With the help of a network of caring people and meditative introspection, I know there is a new plane of zen to be reached, like a monk on a mountain temple.

When you talked about that generous offer from the dentist in St. Louis, Bill, it made me think about all you have given me for the last several years. Many are the times you have pulled me out of the abyss. Unbeknownst to you, you have been there for me when I have felt hopeless and helpless. You have taught me that I am anything but helpless; you (and Scott… and Steve… and Zoe) are proof that there are others like me, that we are not alone, and that we can be there for one another without even knowing one another on a personal level or meeting each other face-to-face. I can’t thank you all enough for simply BEING THERE.

I have never totally given up hope, even on my darkest days during the Obama reign of terror, because of you, Bill, and because of Steve, Scott, Zo, Kruiser, Joe Dan, and many others. Whenever I watched a video or read a column by any of you, I regained what hope I had lost and kept on with a lighter heart. We are all together in this fight against pure evil and I am here for anyone who needs me to be best of my abilities. Much love and gratitude to you all.

For all does struggeling with there DEMONS! take this from a 30 year addict,JESUS IS THE WAY! JUST ASK HIM INTO YOUR HEART. I have a long testimony, to long to print? I will leave you with thie verse from the BIBLE that saved my life from eternal hell. As i stud on a chair with a rope around my neck ready to punch my card out of this life,i felt the LORD say go to the BIBLE which i had found in the mountains where my brother had been living and was murdered? just the begining of my story.The verse that i opened up to was this.MATTHEW 11:28,29,30 “come to me all you who are weary and burdened,and i will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” I found power in these words and have not stoped reading the BIBLE, every day for going on 30 years.The great thing about our JESUS is you can call on HIM and he is always home? and HE will never leave you nor forsake you.You have nothing to loose but everything to gain.Bill and all those fighting there DEMONS ask JESUS into your heart and start today because the end is any moment and then it is to late.Read John 3:3 you must be BORN AGAIN. God Bless to one and all, keep seeking and you will find Him? Jesus says ” My dear child, i did not give you these loads,you have no need of them, they are THE DEVILS BURDENS and they are wearing out your life. Just drop them and give them to me! Things may seem to be going all wrong, but HE knows as well as we,and HE will a rise in the right moment if we are really trusting HIM.

Thank you, Bill. It’s good to know your spirits were buoyed by the words of solace and encouragement from us members. We’re here for you and the importance of your work. You know you can lean on us, and we can lean on each other.

This song by Peter Gabriel is beautiful and I want to share it with any of us who are at a place where giving up seems like the only option left. I wish I could share it somewhere other than You Tube, but for this song, I think it’s worth hearing where ever you can find it.

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose

Don’t give up ’cause you have friends
Don’t give up you’re not beaten yet
Don’t give up I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we’d be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don’t give up you still have us
Don’t give up we don’t need much of anything
Don’t give up ’cause somewhere there’s a place where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
It’s going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don’t give up
Please don’t give up

Got to walk out of here
I can’t take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
and whatever may go
That river’s flowing
That river’s flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don’t give up ’cause you have friends
Don’t give up you’re not the only one
Don’t give up no reason to be ashamed
Don’t give up you still have us
Don’t give up now we’re proud of who you are
Don’t give up you know it’s never been easy
Don’t give up ’cause I believe there’s a place
There’s a place
Where we belong

Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up

I’m a former AF Vietnam Era Veteran (low draft number) and also served in the 101st Airborne. I was “Born Again” in 1981 two years later at the age of 29.First , the Lord “Will and does” give us more than we can bare because he wants us off self reliance and to be reliant on Him only.
I was orphaned while in the AF, two days before formal graduation, my mom was lost at sea, two years prior – 2 days before my 17th B-day my real father (whom I never knew) died from a type 1 diabetic coma. He weighed 70 lbs and that was the first time I saw him, in his coffin.
I said all that to say –

Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight
Jesus was always there and guided and protected me and he will be with all those who make the only logical decision to “Follow Him” and you will never be the same. Trust in Him!
