OH, you heretic.
Watch out, the Palin Protectorate will be along soon...
Perhaps you misunderstand what a “Spartacus Moment” is. It is the exact reverse of identifying ourselves with any one human being. It is the identification of one human being with an idea that far transcends that one person.
For Spartacus and company, freedom was the one glorious idea that bound them all together as one, an idea so powerful they would pay any price to hang on to it. Under the leadership of one man, that idea took on full human expression. To identify with Spartacus was not to lower oneself to admiration of a mere mortal, but to raise one’s self in undying loyalty to an immortal idea being well-lived by that one mortal.
So it is with Sarah. It is the idea she embodies that has brought on the ire of the Alynskiites, who have tried desperately to isolate, freeze, and take her down. She is scarred but not destroyed, and that is a miracle. It is also a sign that the idea she represents, both in word and deed, is stronger than all the forces arrayed against it, that the hunger for freedom is as powerful now as it was in the days of Spartacus, that no coterie of international thugs can take our freedom from us if we reject the premise of our own destruction, and choose to stand against them.
So, for me, when one by one we stand and proclaim, “I am Sarah Palin,” we are telling our enemies, to their face, bring it on, do your worst, but in the end, liberty will stand, and you will fall, because freedom is too big to fail.
I am Sarah Palin!
