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.

Pat Robertson

"Pat recommended that the US kill the democratically elected president of Venezuela in the midst of our 'War On Terrorism.'"

Chavez is a communist dictator, and if you believe he was "democratically elected," then I have some swamp land to sell you in Arizona dirt cheap. Remember, Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, and Kim Jong Il claim to be "democratically elected" too... In their elections, they get 99% of the vote, with the other 1% disappearing after the election.

"So you must have no problems with Cindy Sheehan speaking out? Good, me neither."

I don't have a problem with Sheehan speaking out... My problem is what's actually coming out of her mouth, which I find quite nutty. I don't think she's all here mentally, and the media is enabling her behavior.

"But the crap that Robertson is spewing is serious business, and is just more fuel on the fires of terrorism. We all know Pat’s a nut job, but the rest of the world may not. His words will be used against us — not him. Chavez says he doesn’t even know who Pat is ("I don’t even know who that person is," said Chavez) but I’ll bet that now he knows, along with the rest of the world, that Pat is a former US presidential candidate and current wacko right wing political operative/preacher."

Let me get this straight: You're worried that Pat saying we should knock off a communist dictator will be used against us, but I've never heard the same concern when members of the far left say things bashing America that gets aired all over Al Jazerra... The terrorists use the same rhetoric that is heard everyday from the far left.

"Venezuelan Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel was right on in saying the following: "It’s a huge hypocrisy to maintain this discourse against terrorism and, at the same time, in the heart of that country, there are entirely terrorist statements like those…" Robertson’s comments "reveal that religious fundamentalism is one of the great problems facing humanity in these times.""

Strother, you do know that you're quoting a communist official here... They believe all religion is one of the great problems facing humanity. They want people to worship the State (which is them), not God.

Feel free to quote communists all you want if that's what your conscience tells you... :-)
