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: The Protestant Church

Tucker Miller opines:

The American and Northern Baptists are two of the more "liberal" denominations in the country.

Southern Baptists, though somewhat "liberal" in the 19th and early 20th centuries, have most definitely moved away from that in the late 20th and early parts of the 21st century. Southern Baptist Colleges like Liberty, spend millions of dollars a year to have theologians/voodoo-scientists explain on cable TV channels facts such as that the earth is 6000 years old and that God made it to look like an antique to weed out non-believers. Doesn't sound too very "liberal."
