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: Remorseless Rudolf-- Homegrown Terrorism

"The world's great religions all prohibit the killing of innocent people."

Wrong, Ms. Brinson. Islam not only allows killing of innocent people, it requires it.

This is a thinly veiled attempt to squawk out a juvenile,"See, Christians do it too!" It is the print equivalent of a childish "nanny nanny boo boo." It is also a thinly veiled Islamic apologia.

Yes, Rudolph is a terrorist, exactly like the maniacs who blow themselves up in the markets in Jerusalem, and Baghdad. Yes, he is scum who might even have deserved to die for his actions. Yes, he has a messianic complex. However, Christianity is not to blame for that complex, and no, Islam cannot be excused because of the similarity.
