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: A dictatorship???

I have no sympathy for terrorists or terrorist sympathizers.

Nor do I, but is chasing down terrorists worth the destruction of the protections of the fourth amendment? Every time the government feels free to ignore the constitution, it weakens it, no matter what the reason. George Bush doesn't understand the constitution so he doesn't feel bound by it. He and the rest of the neo-cons believe anything they do in the name of what they define as "security" is acceptable.

Do you think that kind of power-grabbing goes away when the name on the door of the Oval Office changes? What about when the lizard in pants suits becomes POTUS? We all know she hates the people she calls "religious fanatics." She has already said they are dangerous. She has said they are terrorists. So if Bush can suspend habeas corpus to go after some Islamists, what prevents the beast from going after Christians?
