I watched a documentary about a pack of Wild Dogs in Africa when I was younger. It was fascinating.
The pack was run by a head male (Alpha Male) and a head female (Alpha Female). There were several other dogs in the pack.
One of the females gave birth to a litter of puppies. She was not the Alpha Female. The Alpha Female went over to the den where the puppies were, and killed each and every puppy.
This killing was not done in self defense. The puppies could barely move. The killing was not done as a merciful act to save the puppies from slowly starving to death or to ensure that the rest of the pack had enough food. The puppies were not killed because they were sick. The puppies were not eaten. The adult dogs were not starving.
There was absolutely no logical need for the Alpha Female to kill those puppies.
So there must have been an illogical need.
There was.
Fear.
The Alpha Female was afraid of those blind, whimpering puppies.
The puppies couldn’t hurt her. They could barely move. They weren’t drawing in big predators.
Yet, the Alpha Female killed those puppies. In front of their mother. I think the Alpha Male was the father, and he did nothing to stop the killings.
The Alpha Female didn’t kill those puppies because she was currently afraid of them. She was afraid of those puppies in the future. Yes. Inherent or learned, this dog understood time.
Wouldn’t the sensible behavior for the pack be to protect and nurture the puppies? More dogs means more hunters and guards and defenders. The environment these dogs lived in was deadly. They weren’t big animals. Wouldn’t it make sense for this pack to want more puppies?
Yes, it would.
But the Alpha Female was afraid of those puppies. Was this fear merely in her genetics? I don’t know. I’m not sure anyone knows. To my young eyes, it looked like murder. My experience with dogs had shown me that they could be fearful and brave.
I see this same fear in the actions of the leaders of the Democrat Party. Our country is actually in pretty good shape. No rampant starvation. No bombers bombing our cities. But the Democrat leaders are afraid of us.
Us.....the people.....the deplorables....the dog faced pony Soldiers.
We aren’t hurting them. We are just living our lives. We aren’t threatening their children. We aren’t stealing their food to leave them starving.
But these Democrat leaders fear us and kill us. They kill us in our mother’s womb. They kill us in retirement homes. They kill us in riots.
Because they are afraid of us.
They are afraid of the future.
They can’t see the future. They have no idea of what the future holds.
But they’re afraid of it.
What if they aren’t rich? What if their children aren’t rich? What if things spiral out of their control?
Who knows?
The future could just as easily be someplace wonderful.
The darkness and fear and envy in the Democrat politicians doesn’t mean that everyone thinks or behaves like them. It could be that all the Democrat politicians are doing is ensuring a bleak future for themselves and their children.
Oh.....and what about those Wild Dogs Of Africa where they murder their young out of fear?
Nearly extinct.
Good people have to save them.
The actions of their Wild Dog leaders are wiping them out.
Interesting subject. Global warming means there are too many people on this earth so half of them have to get off. Hitler offed 11 million and is admired by many. So how do we keep the tired and sick going as the rats seem to care more about? Atlas shrugged.
Hi.
That type of behavior/instinct is among most animal species.
Including humans.

Thank you for impressing us all with your dazzling knowledge of doggie death rates.
How does that help this site?
How does that help this discussion?
I didn’t write this story to debate doggie death rates.
I wrote this story to show how the Democrat leaders are like the leaders of the Wild Dog packs in Africa because they worry about a future that they can neither predict nor absolutely control.
What do you think about that?
Or do you want to debate how long the dogs tails are? That’s always helpful.
As I stated, I get the “point of your parable”, however, when you said “this is why they’re nearly extinct”, that was one too many steps beyond.
FWIW, comparing dogs to the Demons of the left really insults dogs.
And what does that get us?
Using fear to make decisions, and lead a political party, is foolish.
“And what does that get us?”
A conflagration?

Yes.
Why?
You could have just conceded the point instead of trying to contradict facts with nonsense, which made you look silly and obstinate.
And yet, here you are again.
Who is paying you?
Ping so that I can find this and share later. Excellent analogy for so much that has happened.
“Who is paying you?”
Seriously, you think you are important enough that someone would pay me to critique your blog posts? And that they would know you would be silly enough to pick a long and drawn out fight with someone just because they pointed out a single factual innaccuracy in your story?
Yep.
Nobody could naturally be as dense as you and still be breathing.
You have that special kind of dense.
Somebody would have to pay you to be so dense.
Oh sure, I’m “dense” because I pointed out a single factual inaccuracy in your post, and refused to accept nonsensical responses from you. Sure.
Couldn’t be that you’re just being silly and obstinate because someone pointed out a factual inaccuracy in your post and you are just too proud to say “ok, fair point” and move on with your life. Couldn’t be that.
Phil?
Is that you?
Do you also post as Feckless Phil The Lonely Pervert?
Wow, you just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper, don’t you?
Phil!
It is you!
Have you been touching anyone?
Yeah, just keep digging.
Your Mom still won’t let you have any females in the basement, will she?
Well, the police were pretty insistent.
Keep on digging.
