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.

Letter to Rush Limbaugh

Dear Mr. Limbaugh,

Last November, you said you were done with "carrying the water" for the Republican leadership. While one could argue that this was six years of the George W. Bush presidency too late, better late than never. And it was very heartening, indeed, to hear you denounce Amnesty II: 21 Years After as the Comprehensive Destroy the Republican Party Act, although it could just as accurately be described as the Comprehensive Destroy America Act.

I do not, of course, suggest what is good for the Republican Party is always good for America, or vice-versa, but in the case of ongoing Mexican migration, there can be no doubt what the Republican leadership is currently pushing is bad for both the Republican Party and America alike. It is encouraging to know there is at least one major conservative commentator who is neither politically insane nor culturally suicidal.

I also agree with you that Rep. Ron Paul's chance of winning the Republican nomination bears no little resemblance to the proverbial chance of the snowball in hell. And yet, as you well know, even the most wildly improbable event can take place. After all, we are reliably informed by physicists that the mere fact we are here on this planet today is in massive defiance of universal odds.


Vox Day

Wow! This is stunningly humble for Vox. It would be highly entertaining to see the myriad ways in which the pubbie machine went about cutting Limbaugh loose if he was to actually do something like this.

Go ahead, Rush. Do it. I dare you.
