Liberals love their control.
I happened to notice it yesterday while talking to a liberal cousin about his dog. The dog has never been outside the house without a leash, is constantly in obedience courses, and is constantly being taught new meaningless tricks.
My dogs are free to roam the yard and house all day and all they know how to do is come when I call. Other than that, my dogs are free to do as they please.
Hopefully that freedom doesn’t include crapping on the neighbor’s lawn.
Dogs are a little different. I was training 2 dogs, well, and I discovered that they actually looked forward to it. When I failed to train them (I did so at a specific time each day) they would seek me out, usually with whatever props I was using (leash, ball, chew toy) in their mouths.
That's why they are leftists, not liberals. The Founders were liberals. These are marxists in sheep's clothing.
