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.

The (Republican) party's over

I'm not particularly interested in rubbing the White House's latest treachery in the faces of the Three Monkey Republicans, who are finally beginning to see and hear a little of the evil that has always been readily apparent in George W. Bush. What's more interesting than the fact that this latest attempt at a Mexican migration amnesty should seal the deal on Hillary Clinton's inauguration is the possibility that we may finally be witnessing the beginning of the end of the Republican Party.

This is far from certain, of course, as politics tend to swing back and forth like a pendulum, if rather less predictably. It's always possible that the Lizard Queen might overstep herself like she did at the beginning of her husband's presidency and revitalize the twitching corpse of the GOP. But although she is tone-deaf, Hillary isn't stupid, and I would be very surprised if she demonstrates a failure to learn from her previous blunders.


Vox Day

Andy, I think Vox is talking to you:


Ronald Reagan is dead. There's no longer anything conservative about the Republican Party. It is merely the Democratic Party's away jersey. So stand up for your principles for once in your life and leave the sinking ship to the moderates and pragmatists.
