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.

Okay, just one response on a BP Wal-Mart story...

Steve says: I think Wal-Mart should install liberal detectors in its stores. They should then charge all liberals double whatever the advertised prices happen to be.

That's fine, but to keep my kind out for good, install a 'Moderate' detector. That'll definitely keep me from going there to buy things that used to be made in America for their everyday low prices. I rarely go there anyway — maybe 2-3 times a year — just because I can't stand the parking situation, massive crowds, maze of crap that I or no one with any sense of controlled spending habits need, etc. I don't like the mall very much, either.

From the article:The eventual result will be higher prices, tighter family budgets, and fewer jobs. The cultural elitists might feel satisfaction, but America will be the poorer.

From Steve: Thanks, liberals. What would we do without you? Oh, I know: better.

Look, there just isn't enough room in retail sales to properly absorb all the former manufacturing employees who have lost their jobs to overseas outsourcing. I guess you're fine for all those folks to work for the 'company store'? And simply lowering taxes isn't enough to solve this problem. I don't care how much you cut taxes in this country, manufacturing jobs in China are never coming back to the US as long as American businessmen pay Chinese folks pennies to do what Americans need dollars to do in order to feed their families and enjoy life.
