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.

What???

OK. I watched the clip and what I heard him say was this: It would be morally wrong to abort all black children, but it's too bad we couldn't do it because it would certainly decrease the crime rate in this country.
Come on, B, get real. Do you really believe Dr. Bennett has regret that we can't abort all black babies to reduce the crime rate??? He was throwing out a hypothesis, which is what philosophy professors do. Let's be rational here...


If conservatives want to defend that kind of thought and still feed us their line on moral superiority, then more power to them but they have no credibility. Isn't this considered Genocide?
Conservatives don't believe that we should abort black babies to reduce the crime rate; Dr. Bennett doesn't believe that. Didn't you take any philosophy classes in college??? I remember in one of my philosophy classes, my professor said we should abort all babies that are mentally & physically deformed because they would be too much trouble to look after. The class as a whole debated it, and at the end of the discussion, the professor said he didn't agree with his hypothesis.


Why is it so difficult to admit that poverty is the real problem. Being a certain race does not predispose you to derelict or disfunctional behavior.
Who's saying that poverty isn't a real problem??? And who's saying being a certain race predisposes someone to a disfunctional behavior??? Liberals are the ones obsessed with race...
