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: RE: RE: Liberalism

Behethland B. Clark responds to Steve Brenneis:

Having strong convictions is not arrogant. Don't you believe your point of view is right? Why else would you believe in it?

I enjoy debate. But I am very careful not to say anything that could be taken personally. I find it hard to "read" people through email, so it is best to err on the lighter side. This can be achieved and still get the point across.

With that said: If the liberal attitude is arrogant, the conservative attitude is selfish.
