You’re right about the desensitization process.
The “F-bomb” has morphed into the “F-squib” (soon to be a damp squib).
As far as I’m concerned this entire Administration is one big F-bomb.
No, it's not "how everybody is these days". It's how RATs always have been, rude, crude, vulgar, criminal.
Examples? See: Ed Schultz, Hilary Clinton, any SEIUnion-thug, your local RAT politician.
The level of discourse on Free Republic is coming right along behind, with “effin” this, and “f”-in that. “FU” abounds. “Freaking’” and “friggin’” are merely euphemisms for the same word.
What General Washington did to correct his troops behavior is mild compared to the anecdotal stories about how Colonel Zachary Taylor would grab and shake their heads. I’ve wondered what he said when he was doing that.
Obama: Dat F-—ing b-tch don’t f-—ing know what she be f-—ing talkin’ ‘bout!
Biden: You are so f-—ing right.
Regardless, his point is an important one given the continuing increase in vulgarity we’re seeing in the culture.
When I was a kid, if we cursed we looked around first to make sure no adults could hear us. And we were embarrassed if they did hear us. Now when I go out I can hear 6-7 year olds dropping the F-bomb and C-bomb. And they curse especially loud when there are adults around. And I live in a tiny, little town.
