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.

Defining Patriotism

I said: First of all, questioning your country's decision to go to war does not mean that you are unpatriotic!

And you answered: Granted. So who said it does?


Let me refresh you memory. Here is your statement from the previous post:

They are also annoyed because she is dishonoring the service of her son to our country. By all the evidence, he made that service willingly and in the spirit of duty and patriotism. Duty and patriotism are concepts that invariably infuriate the left ...

Now, why would you make such a statement if you didn't in some way see the anti-war protestors as somehow unpatriotic?
