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: Meet The Republican Party

Like it or not, Steve, but the Republicans are waving the conservative flag for you.

So say you and a host of other liberals, but you'll find just about as many Republicans who dislike being called conservative as you will those who claim it. Similarly, those who claim it don't necessarily own it. Your view is from the left. In any case, like I keep telling you guys, just because the pubbies claim to be conservative doesn't make it so.

But isn't it ironic that so many seem to want to be called conservative, even those who aren't, but no one seems to want to be called liberal, especially those who are. Now I wonder why that might be?
