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: Wrong Again!

Last week, in a stunning projection of our military's power, the US Navy blew up one of our own dead and potentially dangerous spy satellites up there in outer space; it was orbiting the earth.

Now, analysts dug up by the Drive-By Media, are complaining that our success knocking out that satellite also undercut diplomacy. That's right, my friends: Our military, taking out our own dead satellite, "blew another hole in hopes that the world's nations could forge a treaty making outer space a weapons-free realm." And it couldn't have come at a worse time! Why, just days after Russia and China submitted a draft treaty to the UN Conference on Disarmament! (And not to mention the fact that the ChiComs knocked a satellite out of orbit without first telling anybody last year, and they're in the midst of a huge military buildup -- as are the Russians. )

Now, a few points here, folks. First off, both Hillary and Obama have signaled they're willing to ban space weapons -- which would put us at a deadly military disadvantage. I'm here to tell you, no matter what the ChiComs or the Russians say or sign, they will strive for supremacy in space-based weapons -- and they will continue stealing our technology if they have to.

And let's not forget where this all came from: Ronaldus Magnus. Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. Star Wars -- which liberals went bonkers over, claiming it would never work and shouldn't be tried. (The Reagan legacy, thankfully, lives on.)

Then, like now, the liberals were completely wrong: underestimating our own capabilities and underestimating the need for us to defend this nation... in an increasingly dangerous world.

They don't have to steal it any more when people like George Bush and Bill Clinton are willing to give it to them.
