I've grown to dislike the sheepdog metaphor, but Rhodes makes some good points here.

"Sheepdog vs. sheepdog?"

I read recently some good advice for the federates: The Constitution doesn't just protect us from you; it also protects YOU from US. If followed. If not, all bets are off.

Sheepdogs work for the shepherd.

The shepherd works for the farmer.

The farmer wants to fleece the sheep regularly until he slits their throats, bleeds them dry, strips their skin and cuts what's left into lamb chops.

Just sayin.

No frikking sheepdogs for me.

We need rams amongst the sheep.

I agree with both of the above anonymous comments. but despite the use of the word "sheepdog", I will say this for Stewart Rhodes: his sincerity is unquestionable to my ears. his voice is cracking, close to tears through most of the 10 minutes. compare that with the typical speech from the Bloviator in Chief, or for that matter any politician.

A very wise lady once told me, in the 60's that there are four kinds of folks in the Republic; sheep, sheepdogs, wolves and wolfhounds.

Correction to first comment by original poster: That should be "FEDERALES" and not "federates." Thanks.

Enough with this sheepdog nonsense. It's just more paternalism. I'll take care of my own, thanks.

What struck me was Mr. Rhodes passion when he spoke . He was laying out to the government thugs that those they will be facing are very highly trained individuals and there will be thousands of them.

By taking care of your own you are a sheepdog.
Don't forget the sheepdogs are the ones who are there for those that can't protect themselves. The old and sick. As well as every American Patriot

Don't knock them for considering themselves sheepdogs. How many lives have you stood up to save?
