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: Terrorism

"Why the double-standard, Steve?"

Which double standard would that be? The term means that different constraints are applied to like predicates. My argument applied like constraints to unlike predicates. No double standard there.

There is nothing in the Bible (as Ms. Brinson correctly points out), or in the general teachings of Christianity that permits, much less promotes, Rudolph's behavior. The same cannot be said of Islam. References supporting that statement have been posted on The Bully Pulpit previously.

That is not a double standard.
