I'm on a mailing list for Claudia and got this today. Kind of funny since last week the Democrats tried kicking de la Cruz off of the Georgia ballot.

    A nation too long at peace becomes a sort of gigantic old maid

    i love this appears to be the harshest criticism he can come up with of peace. "ummm actually being peaceful makes you like an OLD WORKING CLASS WOMAN. owned yet?!??"

      The expression "old maid" is a synonym for "spinster", and suggests an elderly unmarried woman rather than an occupation. So it's more a misogynistic insult than a classist one.
