Canis lupus hominis

In the United States, people have a tendency to lionize Winston Churchill, and whenever someone takes a stand on something, it is very common for people to quote him and then compare themselves to him.

Usually, the comparison is so off that the person looks like a fool.

Never mind that Churchill. as the head of government of the  state that was running the world’s largest empire at the time, certainly didn’t have enlightened views about much.

But I was certainly drawn to this quote.

Some enemies are worth having, and in this world of blogging, having certain people throw around  the “animal rights activists” epithet at me only increases my street credit among the circles I’m trying to influence.

I’m quite enjoying the collective histrionic meltdown that certain dog fanciers are having over the fallout from this year’s Crufts. I’ve never seen so many adults act like toddlers.

Everyone seems to have a martyr complex.

But as was told to me when I was a child and started down the path of martyrdom:   To be a martyr, someone has to give a shit.

These crazy dog fanciers are the lunatic fringe of the dog world. The bulk of the dog owning public listens to your whining, your conspiracy theories, and your moronic comments online, and they don’t have any sympathy for your position.

They think you either have severe personality disorders or you’re just a bunch of sadists.  The only dog person they respect less is Michael Vick.

This is not the road to victory. This is the road to marginalization.

So keep throwing shit.  I’ve outlasted people with more skills at this sort of thing than you.  I’ve dealt with people who were much better at putting up misleading propaganda about how I’m the devil than anything these dog fancy cultists could even dream of doing. And I’m still here.

Churchill is way over-quoted by those who don’t understand him at all, but I think this statement from another World War II leader is a bit more apropos:

Source.

And if you’ll allow me the spurious analogy, I welcome your hatred.

And keep on melting down. This is the best entertainment I’ve seen online in a pretty long time.
