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: Assault!

From Rush Limbaugh: Well, folks, it never stops. The Democrats are unleashing their latest horror. In coming weeks, the cap and trade bill, better known as "cap and tax," is expected to move from a Senate committee headed by Barbara Boxer to the Senate floor. American power plants and businesses are among the chief targets; they'll be forced to cut emissions or purchase "emission allowances" under an undisclosed scheme. (No doubt it'll be rigged to benefit groups friendly to the Democrat Party.)

Boxer and John Kerry (who, by the way, served in Vietnam) are pushing for a 20 percent cut in so-called greenhouse gasses by the year 2020. Their 800-page bill -- which few legislators have actually read -- is even more heinous than the House bill. Environmentalist wackos will love this Senate version, but the rest of us are going to pay for it.

Now, don't forget: this bill is based on fraud. Manmade global warming is a myth Democrats are using to gain power and to tax businesses and consumers. And let's also not forget that America has an abundance of natural resources, which would provide all of our energy needs, but Democrats want to outlaw the development of our own energy.

This bill is anti-American-business and anti-American-consumer. It's a job killer. It will harm the economy as much -- or more -- socialized medicine... and it's the latest assault on American freedom and growth brought to you by Barack Obama and his freedom-killing Democrats in Congress.

When Boxer announced this this afternoon, she said she was more excited to advance this bill; it was more exciting than it was to give birth to her children! What does that tell you about Democrats and their agenda?
