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: On Patriotism


The American Republic is in remnant status. The stage is set for our country eventually devolving into a military dictatorship, and few seem to care. These precedent-setting changes in the law are extremely dangerous and will change American jurisprudence forever if not revised. The beneficial results of our revolt against the King's abuses are about to be eliminated, and few Members of Congress and few Americans are aware of the seriousness of the situation. Complacency and fear drive our legislation without any serious objection by our elected leaders. Sadly, though, those few who do object to this self-evident trend away from personal liberty and empire-building overseas are portrayed as unpatriotic and uncaring.


This is why I am supporting Dr. Paul. He may be the last, best hope for our republic.

I watched the first Republican debate this season, in which Paul made some of these same points to a studdering and stammering Rudy Giuliani. Rudy's "uh..uh..9/11.." response got the big appluase from the crowd and the pundits called it "Giuliani's defining moment" and "a home run!"

Is everything today ass-backwards?

Everybody including the President says one thing but means another, and the truth is still something totally contrary to both!
