'Resistance is our Spartacus moment,' Dems declare
WND ^ | 6/1/2017 | WND

But that’s how a fundraising pitch from Democratic National Committee deputy director Keith Ellison is characterizing this moment of “resistance” to the agenda of President Trump.

“Last week, on a special episode of Democrats Live with civil rights icons Congressman John Lewis and Heather Booth, we were given our charge: the resistance is our ‘Spartacus moment,'” reads the email from Ellison.

I wonder if this dip knows what happened to Spartacus?

Meh. It’s more like their “Barney” moment. As Kurt Schlicter so eloquently writes:

Little twits couldn’t be a pimple on Spartacus’ ass.

Delusional buttwipes.

What is it with the left? Seems they compare everything to some Hollywood movie plot.

Hey, snowflakes, the credits aren’t going to roll...this is reality, real life.

Learn to deal with it. Reality will out-survive TV, and the movies.

What a laugh (Sparticus moment). LIBs are weak in every way. They are a mentally ill minority in this country. If they try “Sparticus”, they will experience much worse.

Resistance to what?

More Jobs?

Energy independence?

Not sending Billions overseas?

Less regulations?

Perhaps we are seeing the Democrats morph into the Whigs.

“...weak in every way...”

Well, they’re the only ones actually fighting right now, to give them their due.

But that’s merely because no one has hit them back yet.

Let see ..Spartacus died fighting....but much more telling in Ellison’s comparison is this from Wikipedia.

In modern times, Spartacus became an icon for communists and socialists. Karl Marx listed Spartacus as one of his heroes and described him as “the most splendid fellow in the whole of ancient history” and a “great general (though no Garibaldi), noble character, real representative of the ancient proletariat”.[52] Spartacus has been a great inspiration to left-wing revolutionaries, most notably the German Spartacus League (1915–18), a forerunner of the Communist Party of Germany.[53] A January 1919 uprising by communists in Germany was called the Spartacist uprising.[50]

Because the patriotic Americans kept their composure when the anti-American criminal obozo was in the WH tearing this country apart, it will be interesting to see what the patriotic Americans will do the next time a president tries to dismantle our way of life and the US Constitution. It's a fool me once scenario. Seriously doubt there will be any degree of tolerance for an act two of another criminal communist in the WH.

Indeed - I am well aware of the information you posted. They are too, that’s why they picked that title.

Massive resistance won the South for the Democrats once...

And they haven't had a new idea... ever.

In this version of Spartacus, there is no revolt because all the prisoners are gay and into bondage.

Democrats flatter themselves.

I see them more as Pol Pot, Mao Tse-tung, or founder of the Taliban, Mullah Muhammad Omar.

Democrats go drunk with power and have no scruples just like those three butchers.
