Letter to the Editor:

This is in response to the person that used the analogy in your paper that there are sheep and then there are goats, and that the Republicans are Goats because they follow their leaders.  You can always identify the party of the writer because some democrats never use their name to sign a Letter to the Editor.  But if is five or more paragraphs and just less than a book-from-the-Bible long, and it spouts the democrat mantra for the week, then Ken Humphries  is the author and he does use his name (I’m proud of you Ken).

If you ever tried to herd goats, you would be better off herding cats.  Come to a meeting of the local Tea Party Patriots and you will see that if there are 20 people there, then we have 20 leaders in attendance.

If the writer of the goat and sheep analogy placed the Republicans in the goat category, then that leads me to believe that the Democrats are sheep.

Below is a true article from USA TODAY (in your computer search enter “USA TODAY sheep’s jump off cliff” for a fact check).

USA TODAY
JULY 8 2005

First one sheep jumped to its death. The stunned Turkish
shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had
breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each
leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported.
In the end, 1,450 dead animals lay on top of one another in a billowy white pile, the Aksam newspaper said. Those who jumped later were saved as the pile got higher and the fall more cushioned (actually the fall doesn’t hurt, it is the sudden stop at the end), Aksam reported.
It was later reported that the sheep had joined the Democrat party about two weeks previously, just got through with their indoctrination the night before, and that day was their first test on what they had learned.  The oddity of this is that it started about 1792, but it only happens when Democrats of any breed get together ie: Lemmings.
The only other animal that can be indoctrinated into the Democrat Party faster than sheep is the human, but they were found to start a bubble out of plumb and some are scared to put their names on a newspaper article.
As you note, I did take some license with this article but the part of the sheep jumping is true.  But I did sign my name.
