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.

Group Brings Christian Flag to Memorial, Marching in Protest

Group marching in protest of the removal of the Christian flag

KING, N.C. (WGHP) - A group marching in protest of the removal of the Christian flag at the Veterans Memorial in King brought a new flag to the site on Thursday.

The group said they will march at the memorial all day on Thursday to show their support of the Christian flag being flown at the memorial. The group said it will also pray for others to support the flag.

Last week, King officials decided to take down the Christian flag at the Veterans Memorial in Central Park after King City Attorney Walter Pitt said the city received a letter from the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State on August 11 and a letter from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on August 16 threatening lawsuits if the flag was not taken down.
