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: Smith ad opens campaign to show that Democrats, too, have religion


In the ad, Smith, a member of Chapel Hill's Binkley Memorial Baptist Church, says: "I'm a lifelong Baptist and vote for Democrats. One reason? Democrats are serious about alleviating poverty."


Sometimes I feel very bad for people like Smith.

On judgement day they'll stand helpless before the judgement seat and whimper, "I voted for Democrats." The "Social Justice Christians" commit the error of the Pharisees. Sadly, all they'll likely hear in response is:


I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
