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.

Steve Brenneis responds to Behethland B. Clark:

You must have a better secret decoder ring than I do. I re-read the article three or four times and I can't seem to find the place where she says, implicitly or explicitly, that she thinks all liberals are secular humanists or atheists. In fact, she has been quite careful to avoid that stereotype. However, she did address secularists directly. She also refers (implicitly) to the "average" liberal as a secularist. I expect that's pretty accurate. You have identified yourself as both a secularist and a liberal, so what's the problem?
