    Oh, Yeah!! I have heard that they are trying to put some new rules on speaking from the scripture on the bible as "hate" speech. By the way Canada is also trying to put that onto their laws. When Christians speak from the bible we are simply telling the truth as to what GOD desires for us, but alas, we know that the world is definitely against GOD anymore. They will convince only the weak in spirit and those who know not of or reject GOD'S word out right!! We Christians must stand up for our constitutional right to speak from the bible. It is not spoken out of "hate" but of LOVE. The bible is a REAL story about the most precious LOVE ever. GOD'S forgiveness of our ways and the Salvation that he offers us. It is up to us as whether we accept or deny him.

    Unfortunately many are lazy in their beliefs as Christians and stand silent. I am glad that the man behind your avatar is not but a very good friend of CHRISTIAN values!!

    GOD BLESS YOU my friend in CHRIST. STAND tall and stand proud!!

    If you live in a small town, and turn on the radio?:, usually all you will get is either Country and Western music, (which I hate), or you get the christians shows, and/or music, ( which I hate even more).

    If the FCC, can come up with better ideas about how to control, how many of a certain kind of shows?, that would be good! And my ears will stop hurting from the noise on there!

    Less christian ranting and raving! And less political posturing from the Republicans.

    And their are several good Liberal Democrats radio personalities on the radio! Like Bernie Ward, out of San Francisco! he deals with issues.

    You listen to those bozos like Limbaugh, Savage and Reagan, and you get them putting down Democrats, during the whole show!

    Sounds more like trash radio, than anything else.

    Why are right-wing Christians so desperate to believe that they're victims? Don't they ever consider that they might instead work to accomplish something positive?

    I'm so sick of this victimhood culture.

    I went to the FCC site and it says that you're full of it.

    Man, you people are so transparently dishonest it's not funny.

    I know, it's bad. But it's just one more sign that the end times are near at hand. Just think, the Bible says that in the end EVERY knee will bend and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. One day even Satan will bow down to Jesus. Of course, by then it will too late for them to accept Him as their personal savior. There will come a day when Christians have to go underground and meet in secret. There will come a day when you will find the Bible in the FICTION section of book stores and libraries. But it's OK 'cause we've read the end of the book and we know that Jesus wins in the end.

    I haven't heard of anything.

    I can't imagine what Christian radio would be doing that it would matter.

    Any idea of what regulations they are discussing?

    I love your Avatar by the way! I have not and I would sure like to know! (I listen to Moody Radio and KMBI radio station here in Spokane, WA and I still haven't heard anything!). <')))><

    If it were true, which is not likely, what regulations would they impose on all radio stations that would frighten Christians? It seems fishy to me. <*)))>< (I had to stick that in, after the "fishy")

    The liberals want "equal" rights on conservative and Christians stations that have been far more successful than the liberal talk shows. If they don't get "their time," fines will be imposed.

    Funny how business is so bad for them that they need to intrude on the Christian stations.

    that's the bottom line...

    Sounds like the same urban legend that comes around every 2 or three years the FCC can't put out. Try details at www.snopes.com
