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: Who Really Cares?

One of the fundamental attributes of American Liberals is their inability to recognize and evaluate evidence. Liberals operate on good intentions and positive feelings. When the empirical evidence contradicts the subjective basis of Liberals' view of any subject, they attack the presenter of the evidence or impugn the character or motives of the gatherer of it instead of rationally rebutting it.

So, in spite of the overwhelming evidence that liberal policies in government don't work, it is the good intention to which liberals cling. No matter how many times it is demonstrated that welfare creates slaves, liberals will clamor for more of it. No matter how many times it is shown that increasing the minimum wage causes unemployment, liberals will clamor for the increase. No matter how many times it is demonstrated that cutting taxes creates prosperity across every level of an economy, liberals will insist that trickle-down is a fairy tale and that tax cuts only benefit the wealthy.

This instance will be no different. It is demonstrable that liberals are no more compassionate toward their fellowman than are conservatives. However, we can expect no abatement in the drone from the Left that insists conservatives are cold, calculating, and hard-hearted and that liberals are warm, fuzzy, and lovable.
