Through the years I've been a reader of your posts here on Free Republic, long before I signed up as a member. I've always admired your principled stand for Christianity and the September 2010 thread about profanity is one that I thought needed saying. I was surprised how many otherwise Conservative (and presumably Christians) jumped all over you for the thread and its intent.

Much as we all oppose homosexuality and its agenda, the Communists have sought to weaken America by destroying the Biblical principles upon which our nation was built. We rightly attack the sin of sodomy here on Free Republic but, on occasion, give the smut merchants (one of whom includes the ultra-liberal Larry Flynt) a pass. Similarly vulgarity is sometimes cited as a manly virtue when it comes from "our side" yet California Governor Jerry Brown's recent use of the term "fart" is correctly diagnosed as an utterance from one with a filthy mouth and dirty (if feeble) mind.

Let we forget, the evil of making homosexuality mainstream was but one goal of the Communists:

18. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press. 19. Break down culture standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and T.V. 20. Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity, as "normal, natural, healthy." 28. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

A few verses from the Holy Bible come to mind:

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. -- Matthew 5:28

Thou shalt not commit adultery. -- Exodus 20:14

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. -- Exodus 20:7

In my opinion, these Biblical admonitions are no less serious than God's instructions about the abomination of homosexuality.
