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: Alito and the "unitary executive"

Tucker Miller responds to Steve:

You can choose to ignore what i write and go on and on chasing some straw-man "democrat", "leftist", "evil" if you want, but it really makes you seem ridiculous. I particularly enjoy how you try to lump me in with journalists and political hacks that i do not support and would never vote for! If you actually knew even the slightest about me you would be amused by it as well.

You enjoy claiming that you are politically independent, but that is a BIG joke. The contorted rationalizations you make, allowing you to remain on the side of your favorite (or least favorite) Republicans, make you seem as flexible as a former gymnist turned nght walker --- with the Republican party serving as pimp.

A "true" conservative is concerned with matters such as states' rights, fiscal responsibility, and narrow interpretations of the constitution. Except for the one in the middle you seem to think exactly opposite at least half of the time.

Steve, you are not a true "conservative" -- that's just a nice, neat little word you like to peddle to folks to get them to listen to your most radical & often "looney-tunes" ideas.
I'll give you "non-athiest objectivist" (an oxy-moron btw), but i'll let you sell that "conservative" line to straight-ticket-voting Republicans looking for a good time.

And what does this diatribe have to do with what Steve wrote about Alito and the "unitary executive"??? Can you refute what he said about the subject??? You usually opine about a post, Steve refutes your assumptions, and you respond with a personal attack without refuting what Steve posted. Let's stay on topic here...

Tucker, you just don't get it, do you?

Because I mention your name or use what you say as an example, doesn't constitute a personal attack. You did not address a single salient item in my response. You made your response all about me. That is because you operate from ego rather than intellect. You didn't understand 10% of what I wrote on the unitary executive so you chose to make childish and spiteful comments about me, not about Alito, the Supreme Court, or the principle of the unitary executive. That's why no one takes you seriously. That's why I usually just ignore your posts.

Consider this my final direct response to you. Your idiotic response to Andy suits you well. It portrays you as everyone knows you: a spiteful child.

To Chippigoo,

You too have nothing salient to offer, I notice. It takes no courage to post stupid comments anonymously and to make a personal attack on me. Congratulations. Only a die-hard liberal would put more emphasis on my "tone" than on my content. You must be a victim of the "public" schools as well. You have my deepest sympathy. I can only assume that you are just as ignorant as Tucker on the subject and this pathetic excuse for a rebuttal is the best you can muster.

Have a great life.
