kaum liberal palsu pengkhianat
egg-sucking dog
1. Occasionally, a trusted, working farm dog would develop the bad habit of taking eggs from nests and eating them, turning himself from asset into liability.
- Colloquialisms
egg-sucking di sini lebih merujuk kepada pengkhianatan. seperti contoh di atas, anjing yang seharusnya menjaga kandang, malah memangsa telur dari unggas yang seharusnya ia jaga.
mungkin ini terkait dengan penyusupan agen soviet ke pemerintah amerika serikat pada waktu itu, silakan rujuk pautan di bawah.

kaum liberal yang menggerogoti masyarakat dengan kepalsuan mereka
‘egg-sucking’ memang sulit didefinisikan tetapi salah satu penjelasan adalah kebiasaan memberi makan telur kepada kaum manula dengan memberi mereka makan telur mentah atau semi-mentah dengan cara menghisapnya melalui lobang kecil. Menghisap telur juga dilakukan binatang (misalnya tikus) untuk mencari makan sehingga merusak telur tersebut, sehingga istilah tersebut merupakan suatu penghinaan.

orang-orang liberal gadungan yang hina
egg-sucking dog:
This literally refers to a seriously ugly or mangy mongrel. Said to be described this way because of its non-doglike penchant for eating the insides of eggs.
Metaphorically, it can be applied to a person (almost always male) who is out-and-out riff-raff: one of the inbred corps.
