I'm a woman, I love cats, but I'm not who he's talking about here so I don't take offense. Stereotypes nearly always have some truth to them. He brings up cat ladies, in the context of school bullying, as a very pointed example of how our society has become weak and unable to make moral distinctions as a result of people who, Quote, live in a tranquil bubble of affluent, frivolous safety and security created by their harder, worthier forebears who understood the world's true nature." I believe he uses the cat lady as a metaphor for essentially ALL the Left, men and women alike. Because ALL of them are the stereotypical cat lady.

Instead, here we are...23 days out and Gaza still exists

Yes, exactly. That's why he concludes with the same example: A society that suspends both kids when one of them slugs a bully is signing its own suicide note.

“I’m a woman, I love cats, but I’m not who he’s talking about here so I don’t take offense. Stereotypes nearly always have some truth to them. He brings up cat ladies, in the context of school bullying, as a very pointed example of how our society has become weak and unable to make moral distinctions as a result of people who, Quote, live in a tranquil bubble of affluent, frivolous safety and security created by their harder, worthier forebears who understood the world’s true nature.” I believe he uses the cat lady as a metaphor for essentially ALL the Left, men and women alike. Because ALL of them are the stereotypical cat lady.”

I just don’t agree with his stereotype here. It’s an insult to “real” cat ladies everywhere. I have observed and studied liberals/lefties for decades and trust me... if most of them were ‘cat ladies’ it would be several zillion steps up from what they actually “”are”” (more like Paris Hilton-type chihuahua carrying useful idiots), IMHO.

That said, I get what he was trying to say and I agree with most everything he stated ‘except’ for the cat lady metaphor.

The common lot of the bulk of humanity throughout history is slow starvation in virtual slavery. What we think of as freedom is a recent and novel experience.

Better men than us fought to provide it to us and most sit and watch it disappear.

violence in the defense of what is right is a moral obligation and a symbol of a greater rot within society

Violence in the defense of what is right is a symbol of a greater rot within society? Townhall needs an editor.

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"

Ah, the "Flaming Conservative" quoting Jeremiah - sweet!

That's why when I hear the phrase "follow your heart" I scream "No! What are you, nuts?"

"Peace" in the historical record of humanity has always been an anomaly. War, suffering, depredation is the standard. The strong cultures and societies survive, the weak ones become extinct. Law of the jungle.

Romans 5:12

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;
and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

”As a Christian, what do you do? Being a believer in Jesus is not a suicide pact, as has been said before.”

“and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.”
