In America, we have a specific piece of our Constitution devoted to protecting political speech. This is a core freedom we all believe in. But we also know that freedoms carry with them certain responsibilities. So what are the responsibilities of people who write opinion-editorial pieces? And, specifically, what sort of principles should guide the conduct of those of us who write columns and are Christians? Is it fair to judge editorials by whether the spirit they are written in is likely to bring us closer to Christ? Or is that just asking too much from things that are often satirical and designed for entertainment? Have you ever read a column that you thought was immoral, not because it advocated something you disagreed with, but because of the way it did it?
