This is an oldie but goodie...
It seems like the more polarized the country becomes over political topics like firearms, the war on drugs, and the war on terror the more people hate the sheepdogs. Go figure!
It's getting harder by the day to tell the sheep dogs from the wolves.
No disrespect to our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, BUT sheepdogs eat sheep for diner. Maybe not wholesale like wolves, but they still eat meat. I never liked this analogy. Sorry to be negative.
Most sheep dogs do NOT eat sheep for dinner. LOL

"Sadly, America needs to have a wolf show up once again."
She's here and gearing up for the 2008 POTUS campaign.
Thanks for the ping!
There is another type, the Shepherds. They know the sheep are in danger and need protection so they buy and care for the sheepdogs. The Shepherds can, if necessary stand watch and confront the wolfs but they aren't as well equipped for the role as the sheepdogs. Instead, they make sure they get as many quality sheepdogs as necessary to protect the herd. They make sure the sheepdogs are well fed, get their shots, and have everything necessary to complete their mission including providing love and appreciation for a job well done.
The Shepherds get lots of static from the sheep. They complain about the need for the dogs. They complain about the Shepherd exaggerating the threat of wolves. They complain about the money and time spent on the sheepdogs. But the good Shepherds know the truth and despite the static and aggravation, do what's necessary to protect the sheep.
Re-bump, and thanks, ExSoldier.

Remember the one teacher who died a Columbine?
Students called on cell phones and got medical advice on how to care for him until he died.
It was two to three HOURS until help came to them, too late for the teacher.
The SWAT team was out side the building for most of this time.
Had the SWAT team gone into the building that teacher might be alive today, but we will never know because he died while they hunkered down outside the building.
And those are the ones we're supposed to count on to protect us. The ones more interested in protecting themselves.
But, it didn't happen at Columbine.
Thanks for the post, now I know a bunch of people who are going to recieve this in an email today.
Sheepdogs unite!!
Big thanks for digging this up. I hadn’t seen it the first go-round. We really ought to publish textbooks from all of the talent on this site. Required reading material for anyone who is a citizen of the USA.
Being a former lib myself, I have to approve your sentiment. Some of us are trainable, at least. One of my cousins is about as lib as you can get, except about the War on Terror. Her son is in the 101st Airborne, and getting ready to go back for his (I think) third tour in Iraq. Libs CAN learn, some of them, anyway.
BUMP!
