Approximately 90% of all Americans can be labeled sheeple. Sheeple are Americans that act like sheep and follow the path of least resistance. Sheeple have always been part of the weave in the American fabric of our flag. During the Revolutionary war sheeple tried to avoid war and were willing to pay high taxes, enjoy limited freedom, and be led by a tyrant across the ocean. Sheeple like to be led to safety, and only require limited freedom. Sheeple have great affection for the sheepdog, who watches over them and ensures their safety; except when the sheepdog fights for the freedom of all the sheeple. Sheeple have always tried to avoid conflict; even when the big bad Wolf carries off some of their children and family members. And when the big sheepdog fights to ensure his own safety, and the safety of his flock, they get mad at the sheepdog. They talk amongst themselves, "let the big bad Wolf have one of us and he'll leave the rest of us alone"! The freedom loving sheepdog, wants nothing to do with that, and waits alone in the dark to fight the pack of wolves. One sheepdog... nine sheeple... and a pack of wild wolves.

We the people, not we the sheeple, must awake the sheepdog in all of us. Recently, the Supreme Court of the United States took up the issue of the Second Amendment. This big sheepdog was amazed that four justices tried to overturn the Second Amendment of our Constitution. We the people ratify our amendments, not the Supreme Court... what happens when the nine wolves of the Supreme Court outlaw our Constitution. The sheeple will chew their cud and amble listlessly to the sheep pens. The sheep dogs will stand shoulder to shoulder and fight off the wolves.
Our freedom of speech is getting limited, if we say something that offends somebody's sense of well-being, we can get fired from our jobs or fined. Freedom of religion is limited to the church grounds, Christians cannot wear their crosses in public, or read a Bible at work, or have one on our desk, we are told we don't have the right to do that, because it may offend some. Freedom of religion has become freedom from religion. The only freedoms that the sheeple of America rally for are: the freedom to get drunk, take drugs, get tattoos, abolish morals and values, freedom to enjoy pornography, freedom to tax the rich, the freedom to take private lands for public use, freedom to tell sheepdogs what they can say or can't say, freedom to indoctrinate our puppies in public schools, freedom to burn the American flag, freedom to change our democracy to a socialist or communist state. There are more sheeple and wolves than sheepdogs. Eventually, the sheeple will overwhelm the sheepdogs, and we will no longer have the freedoms we enjoy. The sheeple will make a deal with the wolves and the sheepdogs will be killed, driven off, or caged.
We can be saved if the sheepdogs can find and align themselves with some rams, who will fight for the true freedom's expoused in the Constitution. What happens to America when the sheeple and the big bad wolves using our democracy and freedom vote in a socialist or communist state. I know what the sheepdogs are going to do....
