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: State and Church

My friends, officials from the government in California have announced plans to investigate the Mormon Church over their role in the passage of Proposition 8, which defined marriage as a union between mankind and womankind.

The California Fair Political Practices Commission said a single complaint by a gay rights group was enough to drive the investigation. The executive director, Roman Porter, said the decision to investigate the Mormons doesn't mean any wrongdoing has been pre-determined. (So I guess this means that Roman won't nail the Mormons to the cross just yet -- until the investigation is complete.) The lone complaint giving the state an excuse to investigate the church claims the Mormons didn't report the value of work they did to support the measure.

Now, remember, folks: Liberal bloggers called black people the "n-word" for supporting it in large numbers. Roseanne Barr called blacks "ignorant" and said their clergy was corrupted. (Was she thinking Chicago?)

So as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving -- inspired by Pilgrims who came to the New World in search of religious freedom -- California is holding an inquisition of a religious group who dared voice political opinions. Quite fitting.

If they're found guilty, maybe the Mormons should be required to admit they're heretics. Maybe they should be forced to denounce their religion, or face burning at the stake. What to do with the blacks? That's another matter. The Mormons? They're in for it. Happy Thanksgiving, folks. We'll see you on the next update.

The I.R.S. told All Saints Church of Pasadena:
"The federal tax code prohibits tax-exempt organizations, including churches, from intervening in political campaigns and elections." It's obvious, the Mormon church should have the hell taxed out of it.
