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.

"THE MORAL FORCE BEHIND VICTORY IN THE COLD WAR"

Lady Margaret Thatcher today on Pope John Paul II:

We should remember Pope John Paul II not just as the greatest Pope of modern times but also as a valiant fighter for the truth.

His life was a long struggle against the lies employed to excuse evil. By combating the falsehoods of communism and proclaiming the true dignity of the individual, his was the moral force behind victory in the Cold War.

Millions owe him their freedom and self respect. The whole world is inspired by his example.

It is good to hear from Lady Thatcher, even at a sad time for us and a great day of joy for the Pope. What a class act. Maybe we ought to do more.
