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.

Join forces against the North American Union

Republicans often complain about the bias of the liberal media. Democrats complain about the right-wing airwaves. What neither of them understand is that there is no such thing as "liberal" and "conservative" anymore. The mainstream media is simply a massive PR organ for the single party that rules the country; this is true of both the "liberal" institutions such as the New York Times and the "conservative" ones such as Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.

This assertion may contradict your understanding of how politics is supposed to work in this country, but if you simply take the time to look around you and consider the evidence that is right in front of your eyes, it is impossible to reach any other conclusion. How else does one explain the fact that the first thing Republicans do when elected is to abandon their republicanism, while the first thing Democrats do upon taking power is to immediately embrace the policies of their predecessors? Why would the Washington Post, a nominally "liberal" newspaper, refuse to even mention Ron Paul's name when reporting the results of the Iowa straw poll, mysteriously leaping from the sixth place finisher to the fourth?


Vox Day

I noticed that Michael Medved quit spending so much time denying the NAU. He had gotten so strident, he was starting to sound like the shill he actually was.
