Words

Hi Humans,
You humans have the ability to communicate with words because you can speak (an ability we dogs lack). But instead of using your ability with words wisely, many of you twist your words to support some cause. For example, take the word "conservative." Conservative means moderate, cautious, the opposite of radical. However, in recent American politics, it has become the opposite. We have people in the United States who call themselves conservatives but are actually quite radical in their willingness to go to any extent to thwart not only ideas with which they disagree but also people (like our president) whom they don't like. For example they were able to shut down the government for a period of time by defunding it because they oppose the Affordable Care Act. The venom that one hears spewed by these so-called conservatives against President Obama no matter what he does is hardly conservative. They have taken over the Republican party and denounce the "moderate" true conservatives in that party. They say the moderates are not conservative enough, but what they really mean is they are not radical enough. They think any reduction of government is desirable. The definition of no government is anarchy. But they would never admit to being anarchists because that is a bad word as opposed to conservative which is a good word.
You humans look down on us dogs because we can't speak words, but maybe you guys are not so smart with how you use those words.
