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: Swinging for the fences on abortion

And while the right-to-life movement takes Cal's baby steps, the slaughter of the innocents continues unabated.

In any case, Cal has missed the point and illustrated why he continues to be a statist at heart. This is about whether or not each sovereign state has the right to enact laws reflecting the morality of those who are closest to it, clearly the intention of the founders. This is exactly the kind of debate that needs to be taking place right at this moment in time.
