The New Subscriber’s Guide
to Reading and Loving
the  ‘A Sheepdog Barks!’ Column

We constantly get questions from new readers about the strange “sounds” and “abbreviations” in my column. This column was inspired by an article I read many years ago called “On Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs.” New readers can always find it on our web site at SangreDeCristoSentinel.com. Today you can read a condensed version on page 19. Please read it; it will help you understand.
Today I’m reprinting excerpts from several of my previous columns. I’m calling this one “The New Subscriber’s Guide to Reading and Loving the ‘A Sheepdog Barks!’ Column.”
WOOF! HOWL! BAA! From time to time I am asked by new readers “what’s up with the ‘Sheepdog Barks’ column and all those animal sounds?” Please read the article by Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, U.S. Army (Retired). It is long but full of important thoughts. The old retired Army Vietnam veteran he quotes had it exactly right. Sheep are in denial and need protecting. If you’ve read it before, read it again. I read it over and over. All sheepdogs should refresh and renew their spirits every so often. The message from LTC Grossman is mostly about recognizing and fighting evil. I believe that those Liberals (aka Wolves) who are trying to destroy America are evil. When they speak they HOWL! I believe most Americans are sheep. They do little or nothing. When they speak they go BAA! I have decided to be a sheepdog and protect the sheep’s liberties and freedoms from the wolves. I go WOOF! It is an “alarm bark” which warns the sheep of the presence of or the actions of Wolves (aka LPSCDs) and our need to be vigilant and fight back. Join me. We need millions more sheepdogs. Write me back at the paper. I would love to hear your barks. WOOF!
At first I tried to separate the liberals from the progressives, the socialists and the Democrats. I finally tired of that and decided to lump them all together as Liberal Progressive Socialist Democrats or LPSDs. Saves me a lot of time and space. In August 2017, I was forced to add the C letter to the abbreviation to include the Left’s increasing acceptance of the Communist doctrine and philosophy. Hence the new abbreviation LPSCD.
By the way, I have received some complaints about my calling all the LPSDs the same thing. One told me he was no socialist. Another told me he was not a progressive. You get the picture. I told them as far as I was concerned they are all Liberal Progressive Socialist Communist Democrats. However, I didn’t have the time to be more specific in each case. So I suggested to them that they pick the “letters” they like and go with that. For instance, they could be a LPD, a PCD or a SD or an LP or even just a D. Whatever makes them happy. In fact my favorite would be an LSD. Reminds me of what most of them took for fun in the 60s and 70s. Problem is they are still hallucinating and that is what’s causing most of America’s big problems. WOOF!
Not long ago I added a new animal and a new sound – MEEOW! Here is why:
Previously in one of my columns I called the Republican leaders in Congress, and some of their followers, “Straw Lions”. That is because they don’t “roar”, they “mew”. They remind me of a combination of the lion in search of courage and the scarecrow in search of a brain that accompanied Dorothy to see the Wizard, thus the term “straw lion”. Boehner (and now Ryan) and McConnell are in the lion pride leadership roles but are very weak conservatives.When they were campaigning in 2014, they “roared”. Made us feel good about seizing control of the zoo we all know as Washington D.C. (aka Congress). But right out of the chute they failed to pass a veto-proof XL Keystone pipeline bill. MEEOW! This was a “no-brainer”. Boehner “roared” on for about another month and then rolled over and passed a clean DHS bill in support of Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty plan. MEEOW! In March, Ryan and the Republicans passed a terrible $1.3Trillion omnibus spending bill for the remainder of 2018. MEEOW!
From time to time as I heard about or read about, some insane anecdote in America, I would think this can only happen in an “LPSCD” America. I wanted to share them occasionally so I’ve identified them with the abbreviation OIALPA which means “Only In A Liberal Progressive America”.
The America that the LPSCDs have created is beyond mind-boggling, bizarre and almost completely incomprehensible. I’m convinced our Founding Fathers would not recognize the America they created if they were alive today. I saw a sign the other day that said we now have the government our Founding Fathers tried to prevent. Sadly true! Why and how has this happened? I’m not sure anyone can absolutely pinpoint one or two specific reasons but after careful sheepdog consideration of the last 50-70 years I have easily attributed ALL our problems to the Democrats and their Communist-Socialist-Liberal-Progressive sequential-thought-process that has occurred during that period. Unfortunately the Republicans have been complicit. I added the word Communist after I read a book by W. Cleon Skousen called “The Naked Communist”. In 1956, Mr. Skousen, a retired FBI agent, wrote about the American Communist Party Manifesto’s 45 communist goals to take over America. These goals are now part of the Democrat Party Platform. HOWL! Read them for yourself on our website at SangreDeCristoSentinel.com. WOOF!
These OIALPA anecdotes will serve to remind and alarm us to the dangers of Liberal Progressive rule and ideology that is destroying the America that many of us grew up in and that our Founding Fathers intended to pass on to all future generations. Considered individually these kinds of things may not seem like much. Considered together, and in the context of the LPSCD’s overall plans to implode America, these actions ought to keep you awake at night. WOOF!
In my column of April 20, 2018, I had finally had enough political doublespeak and resolved that ALL politicians are “masters of illusion” (aka magicians) and that we should all call them out when they con us, trick us, deceive us or lie to us (or all of the above) with a magician’s “phrase of distraction”. Magicians use these phrases to distract us as their “magic” occurs. Phrases like HOCUS POCUS DOMINOCUS or PRESTO CHANGE-O. My favorite is ABRACADABRA ALAKASAM. I think we should all shout a phrase back at them to let them know their attempts to “fool” us didn’t work. Here’s a perfect example of what I mean. Politician says: “I will work with my good friends ‘across the aisle’ to serve the American people.” We The People say: “ABRACADABRA!”
Hope this helps you understand and enjoy my column. Bark a little yourself. You’ll feel better. WOOF!
May God Have Mercy on America! JMH
