While preparing this week’s Christian Carnival, which I hosted at my Participatory Bible Study Blog, I encounter a post on how Christians should make voting choices, What’s a Deal Breaker?, which is actually the end of a series.

I simply cannot see that having the government regulate the political speech of any citizen or group of citizens will have a positive effect. Learn to live with freedom of speech. It may be messy, but it’s…
