Poll Question: Evidence is mounting that under the Obama Administration the IRS has been illegally targeting conservatives and conservative groups for harassment. This is the same government agency that will enforce ObamaCare. Is it time to abolish the IRS as we know it and establish a tax system that cannot be used by corrupt Administrations?

FCC Seeks to Allow Nudity and Profanity During 'Family Hour'

The ­­­­Federal Communication Commission ("FCC" or "the Commission") has announced that it is seeking public comment on a proposal that seeks to relax its regulations that enforce the broadcast decency laws enacted by Congress.  Under the new proposal and new FCC practices, the Commission would focus its enforcement resources only on "egregious" cases of broadcast indecency. 

Apparently, the Commission would like to allow "fleeting" uses of the most profane language.  It would also like to allow instances of "isolated (non-sexual) nudity."  One can only imagine where this would go.

The FCC's effort to weaken the indecency standards is especially incomprehensible.  It is doing this even after the United States Supreme Court examined its indecency rules and declined to strike them down.  In fact, Chief Justice Roberts told broadcasters that they were now on notice that the standards in place could be enforced.  Furthermore, the Commission has dismissed thousands of complaints that were "stale" only because the FCC failed to act on them in a timely manner.

The networks have been in a race to the bottom for years, trying to outdo each other in "shock value" as they seek higher ratings and more money.  If you give them an inch and they will take a mile. If ... (more)

Urge Pentagon to scrub plan to court-martial Christians

The very troops who defend our religious freedom are at risk of having their own taken away.

Last week, anti-Christian and left-wing activists met at the Pentagon with military officials to discuss pressing issues in the military. What issues would be of such importance to gain such a high-level hearing?

According to these far-left activists, religion is one of the chief problems plaguing our troops. As the Washington Post reported, some are saying that "religious proselytizing" is at the top of the list of problems in the armed forces -- even on par with sexual assault.

Back to the Basics of Religious Liberty

by Tony Perkins

Tony Perkins is President of Family Research Council. This article appeared on Townhall.com and The Christian Post on May 15, 2013. Military officials appear to be in sandbag mode telling the media that the recent revelations about policies that would lead to the prosecution of military members for sharing their faith was all taken out of context. But the evidence would suggest otherwise, which is why more than 165,000 people have signed the Family Research Council (FRC) petition to Secretary Hagel asking him to protect the religious ... (more)
