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: RE: Soldiers Of Christ: Inside America's Most Powerful Megachurch

Steve asks: So what's your point?

No point other than what I already said. And, that the people of New Life invested so much time, energy, and faith in hanging on every word of a hypocritical man. I imagine that many members of his own and his extended congregations now find themselves in an awkward position, conflicted by their leader's teachings and his actions. It's really too bad for those whose faith and worldview was nurtured under the influence of Haggard. Further, right here at election time, this type of story — where religion and politics are once again mixed with unsurprising results — continues to muddy the waters for all Americans.
