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: The TV Habits Of A Christian Nation?

You and Behethland make such cute little liberals.

In what reality do the television habits of about one fourth (or less if you don't buy Nielsen's admittedly bloated numbers) of the general public indicate the social conscience of a nation? Oh, wait, I know. It's in that wonderful little self-referential world that Thomas Sowell calls "The Vision of the Anointed."

Exactly how conservative and Christian is this nation? Not very, it seems.

Seems to whom? Nice try, but this is indicative of exactly nothing.

But go ahead, let's have some real numbers. Let's see how you can morph the moral reality of 250 million people into the tidy little fantasy of Hollywood's world.

One final thing: Did you ever stop to think that people probably didn't buy the bizarre attempt to have someone who has been as vocally, publicly, and strenuously immoral as Jon Voight portraying a man of the highest moral character? Did you ever think that people of faith chose to give it a pass because we weren't interested in being subjected to more of Hollyweird's twisted vision of Christianity? Of course, in your world, everyone who wasn't watching SeeBS's travesty must have been watching Teri Hatcher's legs.

Right. Sure. Whatever.
