Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

RE: Conservative litmus test

Behethland B. Clark writes:

I have yet another category for you that I believe is separate from any yet named: the fiscal conservative.

My husband is socially very liberal, but votes Republican because he is fiscally conservative. That doesn't really mean that he is politically conservative, either. He isn't exactly pro-military and is member of every environmental group imaginable. He is also pro-choice. As far as the gay marriage issue is concerned, the two of us agree that it's none of our business what two consenting adults do, so why should we oppose a marriage between them? If it doesn't affect our lives, then stay out of other people's business.

Where would you stick him?
