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.

Ron Paul Has Won

By Patrick Ruffini
Hugh Hewitt's Blog


He won’t win the nomination. He won’t win any primaries. But for Ron Paul’s quixotic bid for the White House, it’s “Mission Accomplished.”

If they’re serious about defending their ideals and seeing to it that libertarianism survives more than a generation in actual practice, I don’t see any reason why libertarians couldn’t embrace a more conservative positioning on national security.

Ruffini misses the point. We don't see military imperialism as a conservative position on national security. In fact, we see American military adventurism as detrimental to our long-term security. Historically speaking, the kind of imperialism we are currently practicing is more an attribute of leftist ideologies than of those on the right.

Oh, and note to Mr. Ruffini, unlike being a Repulbican, simply calling yourself libertarian does not make you one.
