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.

Homosexual Marriage

I have high regard for what Strother and Behethland have both posted regarding marriage. Of course, they have a good example to follow. I'll just add that Mrs. B. and I will celebrate our 27th anniversary this November. It seems to me like we have been together all our lives, while at the same time we were just married yesterday. This verse from Mark says it all for us:

"For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh."

All that being said, the impression of your most excellent thoughts onto the article Strother posted is nothing more than that: impression. What you both posted and said has nothing to do with what was written in the article, no matter how much you wish it did. The author of the article was attempting (badly) to make a case for homosexual unions and their inescapable physical attributes. The author violated just about every tenet of logic, reason, and even rhetoric to convince someone that there is/could be a spiritual aspect to homosexual unions. The argument he is trying (badly) to make is that heterosexual marriage is in a shambles, homosexual marriage can't make it worse. He then goes on to attempt the laughable proposition that homosexual marriage might even make it better. The argument is twisted and based on supposition and assumption.
