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.

Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update: Insanity

It's pretty much agreed now: The American military is winning the war in Iraq -- they've all but driven Al-Qaeda out of Baghdad and some other provinces. The troop surge that Democrat leaders gleefully predicted would fail -- worked. It's worked so well -- without much coverage -- some of our troops are beginning to return home.

As a consequence, the fringe-kook left has descended further into madness. Case in point: a demonstration at the Port of Olympia in Washington State. Police had to use pepper spray to contain a crowd of about 150 anti-war wackos who were trying to block shipments of
our returning troops' equipment! Folks, this is equipment coming back from Iraq! The kooks tried to block truck convoys, poured cement over railroad tracks at the port; they threw rocks at cops! Forty-three of these nuts were arrested and released. Local prosecutors debate if they'll face any charges at all.

Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi held a vote open long enough to arm-twist sufficient Democrats to support their latest anti-war measure. This one would hold up funds for our troops still fighting in Iraq -- unless President Bush orders them (effectively) to surrender to Al-Qaeda, stop winning, admit defeat, and retreat home.

I'm not kidding about this, folks. Anti-war liberals -- elected and otherwise -- have descended into utter madness! Now, this is paramount to mental derangement -- insanity. If our security weren't at stake, it would almost be... laughable. (And part of me wants to laugh, because these people are funny. Heh-heh-heh-heh!)

The mainstream media is so quick to scorn Republican efforts at anything, but when we attempt an ambitious plan to WIN the war, it appears to be working, but STILL they fail to report or even widely acknowledge the efforts and results. So sad.

Maybe it's because we've been hearing this kind of crap

for almost three years now.

Big Brother and company insisted they were winning their (endless) war as well.
