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.
How do you know when you are Phil and when you are Booger?
Do you wear a different hat for each personality?
Like, when you’re Phil do you wear a beanie and when you’re Booger do you wear a paper crown?
Keep digging, just a little bit deeper and you’ll surely get out of this hole. I believe in you.
Which hat are you wearing?
Wait!
How many screennames/personalities do you have? I’m betting it’s not more than ten. It gets cold in that basement.
Just a little deeper, you can do it!
Phil, you really are a creepy guy.
Phil!
You’re back with another screen name!
You’ll always be Feckless Phil The Lonely Pervert to me.
Why do you need so many different screen names?
Are you being tricky, Phil?
What hat do you wear for this screen name, Phil?
A bowler?
