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.

Nothing to say but "I hate you"

By Steven Zak
The American Thinker

When I read that Move America Forward's "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" tour, a counterweight to Cindy Sheehan's hate-America brigade, was stopping for a press conference in nearby Burbank, I made my way there to provide another face in the pro-America crowd. By my best estimate, there were some 30 to 40 of us, all agreed on what seemed to me an uncontroversial purpose -- to express support for the troops who put themselves at risk on our behalf.

That wasn't an agenda that a half dozen Anti-Everything agitators could countenance.
