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.

Gov. Arnold tosses school moral codes

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has tossed out all sexual moral conduct codes at colleges, private and Christian schools, daycare centers and other facilities throughout his state, if the institutions have any students who get state assistance.

The governor yesterday signed a bill that would require all businesses and groups receiving state funding -- even if it's a state grant for a student -- to condone homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality.

There is no exception for faith-based organizations or business owners with sincerely held religious convictions, critics note.


Contrary to what most on the left think, the idea of a separation of church and state as conceived by the founders was mostly meant to protect the church. I have no sympathy for the churches in California, they have brought this on themselves. No, not by ignoring the political process, as WND suggests, but by taking a bite out of the redistributionist apple.

On a side note, a pox on the pandering punditry of the right for attempting to sell Arnold as a "pragmatic" conservative. Watch carefully as they anoint Giuliani with the same snake oil next year. Watch also as the adoring throngs of GOP lemmings line up and say, "Please sir, I want some more."
