Focus on the Family goes P.C.

Bob Unruh / WorldNetDaily:
Editor's note: Although Bob Unruh points out that James Dobson's Focus on the Family is now yielding to the left's politically correct orthodoxy: "do not offend particular groups of people with your religious views," the "Mainstream Media" will continue to call Dobson a "conservative evangelical leader" when such a title could not be further from the truth. Dobson is nether conservative or evangelical because he is missing a key distinguishing attribute of evangelism: ``We ought to obey God rather than men.'' Also, after reading Bob Unruh's article I think more people can understand that Focus on the Family (is becoming) has become a propagandist for a left-liberal Pragmatism targeting the Church -- and Dobson -- a statist sycophant who is more concerned about what sinners think than obeying the Word of God. --Jim Rudd

Focus working to meet demands of "human rights laws".
Hate crimes laws were defeated in Congress just a few months ago. Just a few weeks ago, Frank Wright of the National Religious Broadcasters Association warned, "We must be one in Christ to face the days ahead" because "hate crimes" laws would create untold new liability for Christians. Now a major Christian ministry has confirmed that such "hate crimes" laws already are setting limits on what it can broadcast. Now comes confirmation from the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, one of the largest Christian publishing and broadcasting organizations in the nation, that it has been reviewing, and if necessary editing, its broadcasts to avoid complications with Canadian "hate crimes" laws. In a statement attributed to Gary Booker, director of global content creation for Focus, the organization confirmed that broadcast standards have a "dynamic nature." "Our staff at Focus on the Family Canada works proactively to stay abreast of the dynamic nature of broadcast standards, Canadian Revenue Agency legislation and both national and provincial human rights laws," the statement said.
