The government is not telling citizens what they can or cannot see/hear. They're not trying to make it illegal to see nudity or hear foul language.
They're dealing with the broadcasters, who freely send their inappropriate shows to millions of people. The FCC wants to find an acceptable balance between the First Amendment (freedom of speech) and what is shown on TV.

Now you have to draw a line were stuff we see/hear is morally wrong, as a government that are elected. They do that to what they see fit.
Yep, I agree, and recent events (super bowl breast baring, Bono's f-word) crossed a line that was drawn.

A democracy is a government run by the people, or by elected representatives. How the hell is the FCC going to change that by increasing fines for broadcasters?

Exactly.
