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: Liberal Christians Going Head-to-Head with Conservative Christians


The Institute for Progressive Christianity describes itself as a "think tank comprising mainstream liberal Christians."


If the demographic evidence is any indicator, the institute may soon constitute the bulk of "mainstream liberal Christians." With the memberships of every liberal church as well as every liberal Christian organization declining precipitously, one is left wonder who these folks intend to represent.

As well, I find the characterization of Dobson as a "conservative" Christian to be somewhat amusing. I think "moderate" is about as far to the right as you can push him with regard to his stated opinions and the doctrines he embraces. As with the political spectrum, the median has been pushed far to the left.

In many, if not most cases, "liberal" Christianity is indistinguishable from humanism and is even occasionally agnostic from a theistic stance. It is nothing more than a cover for Marxism and would discard its trappings of faith the moment its collectivist agenda appeared to be satisfied.

And what a hilariously vacant and content-free response. Why did you even bother, Tucker?
