A reader emailed to ask, “An honest question: how do you balance opinion vs. hope. As a pastor I always emphasize hope (though admittedly I am offering Christ) yet I also clearly emphasize reality. … Yet the question remains: where does responsibility lie with those who speak publicly & are heard?”
Whether writing my daily emails, newspaper columns or the five hours a day of radio I do, I try to start with reality. A frustration of mine for years has been the media treating the conservative movement and Republican Party as the same. They are, in my mind, distinct entities that live in a symbiotic relationship.
