I am agreeing with what JOG2 said.This is, NOT, taking a side one way or the other, As I have said many times before, BOTH are wrong. and when BOTH, stop ‘getting’, money.
They will figure it out.
This is about, agreeing or disagreeing with a position,
Which is, is
ONLY Just that !!!!!!!! It is about the position !!!!
This strikes home, Because. I have been involved in ESS.
(English Springer Spaniels), for a number of years.
As I am involved in AKC ‘Field Trials’. And Many local Clubs doing Field Trials.
I have been Very Vocal, about those dogs.
I have said for the last 20+ years, and will continue to do so,
“They Are Two DIFFERENT Dogs”Yet, whenever I meet a ’Show’ person.
They say: “Oh That’s the Guy that HATES us, and our Dogs”.NOT the Case, have NEVER said that, never will. In fact I have some good friends that are, ’Show’ people and have, ’Show’ dogs.
So the statements:
“… criticism of Israel isn’t, “hating Jews”…”
“ … criticism of American policy is not, “hating Americans”…”Are 110% CORRECT. Just the same as saying, a breed of dog, is NOW two different dogs, because two groups have decided to do, two different things with them. And the, ‘controlling group/club, not acknowledging it.
Background:
The Last, ‘Dual Champion’ in ESS’s, was in 1947. (That is a AKC, ‘Champion’, in a Field and Show, Judged event)
Even though, the ‘Parent Club of the ESS, Controls the ESS. All events. (90% Show/10% Field members). They are,
TWO, Different dogs! The, ‘Field Bred’, ESS. And the, ’Show’, bred ESS. They have been bred different, they have different standards. They don’t look the same, (similar, but NOT the same). And the ’Show’ bred, ESS, can’t find a pound of hamburger in a dark phone booth. The
’Show’ bred dog is, ’tested’ to receive the highest AKC award, on
LOOKS ONLY.
The ‘Field’ bred ESS, is tested in AKC Field Trials, On, Performance, Mouth, Stamina, bid ability, Bird finding, Control, etc., and LOOKS has NOTHING to do with it!Before 1965, the ECS, (English Cocker Spaniel), was basically taken over by the, ’Show’, group. In 1965, the Breed was, split, and a ’new’ breed, called the ACS, (American Cocker Spaniel) was formed.
Today 99%, of the ACS, are, ’Show’. While 80% of the ECS’s are Field.
That is what SHOULD happen with ESS. But the ‘Parent club won’t do it, because the name would probably be:
(American Springer Spaniels) {{ Spell out the acronym}}

Is
NOT criticizing a ‘ general populous or people’.
