I have a problem with this...
By blueeyesm on 5/4/2010 1:16:53 PM , Rating: 3 the sense that this organization is a right-wing conservative christian group. One of the links PTC provides goes to 'faith-based' programming, a.k.a. christian-only programming, rather just faith-based in general. They sure seem to come across as lobbyists, than a group concerned about decency on the airwaves.

From Wikipedia:

"The Parents Television Council (PTC) is an American advocacy group founded by conservative activist L. Brent Bozell III in 1995."

This same group criticized indecency in The Simpsons - no wonder the show had Flanders monitor every second of tv in an episode.

I would take this group a LOT more seriously if it evolved into a politically un-biased and non-religious group.

Except you have it in reverse. The conservatives were in the dumps and really had no power in the country until they accepted the religious folks into their tent. At some point in time the groups became somewhat enmeshed and currently you have religious crazies and those that put up with said craizies in interest of power running the party... Unfortunately it isn't only morals creeping into governemnt... you have "Christian" churches preaching that good church goers will be rewarded with wealth and that taxes somehow go to the poor/unfaithful.

Both politics and religion have been destroyed in this mess, and it is truly tragic for both groups. There is a reason the founding fathers wanted religious freedom with separation.
