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.

Remembering The Gipper


"[W]e are told we've been following a wrong track, we should turn back and pay heed to those of the 19th century who stressed collective humanity, minimizing the individual... We are faced with a choice; either we go back to this collective 'we' as the supreme power with the 'state' it's agent...or we continue on the high road accepting man as a unique individual, a creature of the spirit... The time has come to reclaim our inalienable rights to human dignity, self respect, self reliance to once again be the kind of people who once made this nation great."

Ronald Reagan
