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: Hunker Down With History

Ok, I read it. Fox News was being kind to him. My comments stand and I'll add an exclamation point.

He's another appeasement idiot who thinks nations and cultures should simply bow to the forces of might makes right. I sometimes don't know who is worse, the barbarians at the gate or the appeasers who want the gates pulled down.

And I reiterate, Cohen is an ivory tower liberal idiot. It's easy for him to make his grand pronouncements in the glow of his computer monitor. If he was forced to "hunker down" and live with the bombs going off around him, he would have a very different view.

Furthermore, the entire premise of his article, that Israel itself is a mistake, is a sterling example of the shallowness of thought and lack of mental acuity that is the hallmark of Western liberals. Every nation on Earth is the result of a displacement of one form or another. All of Western Civilization is the result of migrations and conflicts. Cohen lives in and reaps the benefits of the result of one of the largest migrations and displacements in the history of the world. Of course, he and his ilk love to condemn that as well. If the Inuits, Apaches, Algonquins, and Cherokees rose up and started throwing bombs at us and threatening to "push America into the sea," I expect Cohen would advise us to "hunker down." That is, until the bombs and rockets started exploding around his neatly coiffured head.

You were very careful not to offer an opinion, Strother. What say you?
