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 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.
