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.

GOP leader: Gayness 'natural as pedophilia"

The chairman of Guilford County’s Republican Party and the leader of a gay-advocacy group exchanged testy e-mails and news releases Wednesday over the chairman’s assertion that homosexuality is "as natural as pedophilia."

Matt Hill Comer, 20, the leader of the N.C. Advocacy Coalition, wants an apology.

Marcus Kindley, the long-time Republican leader, won’t give it to him.

The tit-for-tat diatribes began Monday, after Kindley posted a long entry on his blog, The Chairman’s Corner, about declining morals in America.

"We now say that homosexuality is OK. That it is natural," he wrote in the blog, which is an online journal. "Yes it is as natural as pedophilia."

I'd say that sums it up nicely.
