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.

Celebrating America's tragedy

"A bunch of European media are actually happy about Hurricane Katrina, or at least gloating about it. The French publication Le Monde editorialized that America 'shelters the Third World in herself.' A writer for the Financial Times of London admitted to 'a nagging satisfaction that Mr. Bush's inert administration has been humbled.' This garbage came fast and furious from Europe, so much so that Investor's Business Daily pointed out that two summers ago 'Europe let an estimated 40,000 people die during a heat wave ? in part because many people couldn't be bothered to return from their August vacations.' Right on! Finally some perspective on the anti-American European media. Talking Points wants to be clear - anyone who feels joy when America suffers is our enemy. One of these days we Americans are going to wise up and unite against terrorism and other atrocities. We're going to recognize our true enemies, both inside and outside the USA. Our friends will be greatly rewarded. Our enemies will not be."

I wish more Americans would unite against terrorism, and impeach the #1 terrorist(s) runing the very country they claim to love.

The neo-conservative movment is the most obvious regime of terror, econmoically and socially.
