That's very well said and I agree. One of the great things about Free Republic is its unabashed pro-God stance. In turn that leads to people being careful with their language here for the most part. There are those few occasions when it gets needlessly potty mouthed -- something best left to California's Jerry Brown or the vocabulary-challenged Joe Biden. Using God's name in vain is extremely rare here and that's a real credit for all the FR stands for.
I can't help recall the three films comprising the Godfather trilogy (ping to dfwgator on that). As far I remember, the f-word was used only one time in the nearly 600 minutes. It was when Senator Geary met with Michael Corleone at his Lake Tahoe compound. Because it was so rarely used (if at all elsewhere in the trilogy), it really did have the intended impact. That was, of course, similar to Rhett Butler's parting shot to Scarlett O'Hara in GWTW.
General George Washington’s Order Against Profanity
The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.
