These are hard economic times. Jobs are scarce, health insurance rates are skyrocketing, and many companies and organizations are hemorrhaging money.

I do beleive that the Southern Poverty Law Center does classify Focus on the Family as a hate group.  If not, they are being very closely monitored.
