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: Bennett attempts to explain his bigotry

I guess some Conservatives around here are in agreement with him?

Of course. Bennett said that using economic criteria to justify abortion was as ridiciulous as using crime reduction to justify it. That is a fact-based opinion and of course I agree with it. The Democratagogues who have their pantyhose in a twist are angry because what he said is true and makes a lot of sense, so they chose to engage in their favorite pastime: extracting out-of-context phrases from some conservative's remarks and using them to personally flambé the remarker. They can't engage in honest debate, so they resort to kindergarden playground tactics.

But let me throw this back to you:

With which part of his remarks do you have a problem? And can you demonstrate that his remarks were bigoted?
