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: RE: Stokes County's health director is dismissed

The General Assembly changed the rules on Health Department and DSS directors some time ago. The social engineers didn't want anything as crass as accountability or the voice of the people to interfere with the important progression of socialism in this state, so they mandated that the respective boards only had hiring and firing power. Then they gerrymandered those boards to make sure liberals would control them as often as possible. The only recourse available to the Board of Commissioners (the people's representatives) is to withhold funding of the director's salary if they are unhappy about the selection. The socialists fixed that one as well, though, since the DSS and Health Boards are technically able to redirect portions of their funding.
