When we cats get mad, we'll say we are — usually by hissing, scratching or attacking. But we make our point and move on.
For example, today we HISS at a Democrat, Allison Lundergan Grimes. Why can't she just say, "Sure, I voted for President Obama, but that doesn't mean I agree with him on everything. Do you agree 100 percent with everybody you vote for?" Instead, she's ducking and dodging and repeating talking points, and now she's a screaming headline. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
But we'll get over it. Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall, on the other hand, probably never will.
"Delegate Bob" has been mad at gay people since 2006 (and surely well before). That was the year he crafted Virginia's ban on marriage equality, which 57 percent of voters approved and which, as we know, as been struck down since. Bob keeps pointing to that vote as proof that the courts are circumventing the will of the people. Never mind that if same-sex marriage were on the ballot today, it would pass.
And folks turned out this week for gay marriage licenses across the Commonwealth. We're all choosing silver patterns and picking DJs and getting on with our lives. Except for Bob, who's still fuming.
God's law! Nature's law! Unelected judges! Pedophilia! Polygamy! Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
Poor Delegate Bob. Anger and hate are simply exhausting, and probably not good for your health, either. We cats think he should follow Queen Elsa's advice and just "let it go." And of course we PURR.
