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: Planned What?

Recently UCLA law student James O'Keefe -- advisor for The Advocate, a pro-life student publication -- called Planned Parenthood in Ohio and Idaho, posing as a donor. Not just any donor; a donor with racist motives who wanted his donations directly targeted toward minority women.

According to Cybercast News Service, the donor told Planned Parenthood in Ohio that he wanted to "underwrite" an abortion "for a minority" since there "are way too many black people in Ohio." Planned Parenthood responded: "Well, for whatever reason, we'll accept the money."

Another call was handled by Planned Parenthood's Idaho office Director of Development, a woman named Autumn. The donor told her he wanted to give money "for a black baby" because he has trouble "with affirmative action," and "the less black kids out there, the better." Autumn answered: "Understandable, understandable." And then she said: "Excuse my hesitation, this is the first time I have a donor... make this kind of request, so I'm excited, and want to make sure I don't leave anything out."

The Ohio office confirmed that the call took place; their CEO calls what happened a "very upsetting" violation of policy.

Now, given Planned Parenthood's strong political ties to the Democrat Party, don't look for congressional hearings -- or, for that matter, any concern at all. The two presidential liberals (Barack or Hillary) won't be asked their views, nor will this make the Drive-By nightly news. Because, after all, as far as liberals are concerned... we're only talking about black kids here -- no big deal.

This isn't even particularly surprising, Rush's silly polemic aside. Anyone who knows the published views of Margaret Sanger will be well aware of why the organization came into being. It's goals haven't changed a bit since then, either. One need look no further than the outrageous imbalance in the number of women of color availing themselves of the services of the organization. Planned Parenthood was founded in the name of eugenics and it continues to exist exactly for that purpose.
