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.

Anti-War Left Ready to Protest DNC

(Fox News) - An illustration of the intense pressure Democrats are under from the anti-war liberal left can be found in news about plans already underway for major protests at the party's presidential nominating convention in Denver next summer.

The group is called Re-create 68 — a reference to the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago that saw the party torn apart by anti-war protests.

Re-create 68's Web site says, "We intend to recreate that revolutionary feeling and pick up where our predecessors left off." It says it is "for all the grassroots people who are tired of being sold out by the Democratic Party." And it urges supporters to come to Denver and "resist a two-party system that allows imperialism and racism to continue unrestrained."
