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.

A victory for multiculti over common sense

More brilliance from Mark Steyn. Here's a Steyn classic:

"Consider the Bishop of Lichfield, who at Evensong, on the night of the bombings, was at pains to assure his congregants: 'Just as the IRA has nothing to do with Christianity, so this kind of terror has nothing to do with any of the world faiths.' It's not so much the explicit fatuousness of the assertion so much as the broader message it conveys: we're the defeatist wimps; bomb us and we'll apologise to you. That's why in Britain the Anglican Church is in a death-spiral and Islam is the fastest-growing religion. There's no market for a faith that has no faith in itself. And as the Church goes so goes the state: why introduce identity cards for a nation with no identity?"
Multiculturalism is based on the assumption that every other culture but one's own is superior. It is another lie word from the liberal lexicon. It is yet another product of white liberal guilt that has been foisted on those of us who are not guilty.
