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: Fundamentalists Forget

Steve Brenneis opines:

Rudy is either a Democrat party hack or an uninformed pinhead, maybe both. Take your pick.

First of all, this image of a Christian right starchamber manipulating the unsuspecting Republican boobs in government is pure demagoguery. It is false. It doesn't exist. It is yet another fatuous lie from the Democrat party and their leftist masters. If you scroll back among the articles posted here, this particular lie has been exposed and deconstructed on several occasions.

Further, Rudy builds his thesis on the foundation of more lies, misrepresentation, and mythology while insinuating that fundamentalists all want women and children in chattel bondage and that they are all war-like Machiavellians. His arguments are insulting and exceptionally un-Christian.

Then, in a fit of pure inventive fantasy, he seeks to drop some drivel about Jesus being some form of latter-day social justice warrior. A pretty picture, but if Rudy really understood anything about scripture or Jesus' message, he would know that universal health care would be the last thing he would be fighting for. Maybe Rudy didn't understand one of Christ's more important messages: "Render unto Caesar..."

Sell it somewhere else, Rudy. We're not buying any of it.
