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:

"Why can't conservatives separate their religious lives from their secular lives? There is a time and a place for everything."

"If you are a Christian, your life will reflect it."
You have to make up your mind. Are we going to live as our faith dictates and show that we are Christians every day, or are we going to hide our light when we are ouside of church? You can't have it both ways.

"You won't have to preach to anyone."

Jesus disagrees:

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

"What upsets me, is that someone would question my faith just because I have a different approach."

I hate that too. Has that happened to you recently?
