Are you kidding me? So when Palin uses the idiomatic phrase “called off the dogs” (verb - ease up on after inflicting punishment) then the left uses this to claim she was referring to the subject group (in this case, thought to be BLM, although it really wasn’t clear who she meant) as dogs? Using that logic, I would need to stop reading Shakespeare, since the bard apparently thinks people in the military are dogs. After all, in Julius Ceaser he did write “Cry ‘Havoc!’, and let slip the dogs of war”.
OK conservatives, if you want to play it safe, then I guess here are some more dog idioms you’ll need to avoid, so that the left doesn’t get to distort what you are saying. And that’s just on dogs - there would be so many others - maybe too many to remember. Maybe it’s safer if conservatives just say nothing. And actually, I guess that’s the whole point, since it’s what the left is trying to accomplish with its latest disingenuous smear on Palin.
Call off the dogs
Dogs of War
Meaner than a junkyard dog
Barking up the wrong tree
Throw me a bone
Lucky dog
Every dog has its day
Works like a dog
Go to the dogs
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
Let sleeping dogs lie
Put the dog off the scent
In the doghouse
Walking with his tail between his legs
The tail is wagging the dog
Top dog
Exactly! Thus the Bible has shown all leftists and the BLM movement to be stupid people.
But then again, we already knew that.
Probably. I was raised in that cult. But yes, its still applicable.
In fact it has shown the whole world to be stupid.
Kind of hard to dodge that, ain’t it.
