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: "The US and Israel Stand Alone"

Carter will probably always find a public outlet for his angry rantings.

He presents an interesting dichotomy. On the one hand, there is no right more cherished here than the right to speak one's mind, especially in the case of criticizing the government. On the other, Carter's spewings are clearly seditious, if not treasonous. He gives verbal aid and comfort to groups of people who would harm ordinary Americans in pursuit of their battle against our way of government and our culture. I wonder how he sleeps at night.

If not for the leftist worldwide press, Carter would be considered what he is: A bitter old man who can't abide the idea of fading into obscurity and who botched his days in the limelight so badly that he will forever be excoriated by history.
