Mike Potemra on the Jacobson Case and the Proliferation of Outrage
National Review Literary Editor Mike Potemra expands on the thoughts quoted yesterday on this site, in an article on today's National Review Online. I think that Mike's point is a good one—that there is a better way to react to offensive speech than exaggerated outrage and calls for revenge. The better way is for us to press for what I call a free culture, as noted in my article on this site yesterday. Christianity is in fact the great foundation of individual freedom in the West, and as Mike points out, it's incumbent upon Christians to use this opportunity to press for a free culture that will benefit both Christians and others.
