"The Resistance" Will Sponsor Kid's "Summer Resistance Camps"

While your child goes off to summer camp soon to learn how to tie knots in a rope, make a birdhouse or paddle a canoe, thousands---they hope---will be attending "Summer Resistance Camps."

This summer the far Left secular progressives will be teaching children, young adults and anyone else interested in joining the "movement" how to "resist."

Resist what?

"Donald Trump" and "the conservatives" and "the Christians," they say.

Who are these resistors?


After far Left donors shelled out more than $700 million to put Hillary in the White House...Donald Trump won.

Now the Democrats are promoting summer camps to train kids to "resist" President Trump, and conservatives, every day in every way until 2020.

Shouldn't they be thinking of a better plan to meet the needs of Americans whom they will be asking to vote for their candidate(s) in 2018 and 2020---some new talking points? Hillary's didn't work.

Actually, no.

DNC Chairman Tom Perez, who recently told the press there may not be room for pro-life people in the Democratic Party, says, "There has been an explosion of activism and energy after the election of Donald Trump, and we need to turn this moment into a movement."

They are crystal clear on what they oppose. What they believe will come later---apparently.

Perez said, "As the Democratic Party, it is our role to support this activism..."

He says, "Part of these plans [plans of resistance] must incorporate, where legally possible, partners and allies."

A primary "partner and ally" is "Youth Empowered Action" (YEA) which has been operating for several years.

The YEA website explains their role under the title, "10 Ways To Resist Trump":

Have you noticed that since the election a lot of young people — even many who were too young to vote —have gotten more engaged than ever in speaking up for the world they want to live in? We noticed too!
Youth Empowered Action (YEA) Camp is a summer camp for social change. A week-long overnight leadership camp, YEA Camp has trained over 500 teens and tweens to make a difference on a cause they care about.
Even though YEA Camp has been going strong for 8 years, it may as well have been designed for the countless young people across the country who are currently freaking out about the new political climate, which has taken the need there already was to get active on important causes – issues like racism, poverty, women’s rights, LGBTQ equality, immigrant rights, the environment, animal rights, and more – to a whole new level.
To be clear, YEA Camp does not push campers to support any particular issue, party, or candidate. That is for them to decide based on their own passions and beliefs. But, to give an indication of where YEA Campers stand, when, on July 4 last summer, campers held a special mock debate and election, not only did the current president not win the popular vote. He literally didn’t get any votes. And the camper portraying Donald Trump literally apologized for the things she was about to say in character.
The day after the election, many of our campers (and many people all over the world) were truly alarmed. They felt the new administration poses serious threats to the issues they deeply care about. We held a group call that night to talk through people’s fears and brainstorm what people can do, and campers from across the country came together to support one another in moving forward.
YEA Camp helps young people get active on causes they care about in so many different ways, and, since the election, YEA Campers have been responding in force.


DNC Deputy Chairman Keith Ellison, a Muslim and Congressman from Minnesota, says, "Resistance Summer is the starting point and will take the Democratic Party's message of fairness and equality to activists on the front lines..."

"The best way for Democrats to turn the #Resistance into electoral wins," he says, "is by doing one thing: Organizing."

Sharyl Attkisson, a former CBS reporter, wrote an article for The Daily Signal (an arm of the Heritage Foundation) this week titled, "Meet the Anti-Trump Supporters of 'The Resistance'."

Attkisson says, "From town hall protests to sometimes violent demonstrations, they're fighting the Trump agenda at every step. Hillary Clinton recently remerged to announce she's 'part of the resistance'. "

A while back I wrote about Barack Obama's "shadow government" operation 1 mile from the White House in his newly rented mansion.

Attkisson has gone out interviewing the "resistors" to discover who they are---what the believe.

She says since the election, hundreds of groups have formed to advance organized resistance against the president.

And she says there are a host of various far Left groups coalescing around the #Resistance banner. And there is a lot of money flowing to these efforts.

Moveon.org is now involved with its millions. There is also a number of very wealthy people joining the #Resistance, such as Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer and others.

In the past few months, "resistors" have disrupted Republican politician's town hall meetings---on several occasions shutting them down completely.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. told Attkisson he thinks they are not only disrupting and shutting down these meetings, but he believes they are trying to sabotage our government. Attkisson said, "A lot of people think there is sort of a shadowy effort under way to influence the control of government. What do you think?"

He said, "I think they're trying to sabotage it."

Attkisson says the "Shadow Government" or "Deep State" is a notion that "influential members of government agencies or the military are involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy."

She says it may sound like the stuff of conspiracies, "but liberal and conservative analysts are among the believers."

She quotes various responses from some on the inside whom she has interviewed: "The deep state is a very real thing"---"it's the civil service"..."Two cheers for the Deep State"..."The defense establishment is part of the Deep State"..."so are the courts"..."the FBI and the CIA..."

Gene Stilp, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party Campaign Coordinator, says energy is higher now than during the election.

Stilp said, "The demonstration season isn't even in full swing yet. The spring and summer...you're going to see people really get active. These guys are going to be afraid to even cross the state line..."

Attkisson says in her research and interviews, she has discovered that there is a "twist to this organizational plot."

"Democrats, too, are being targeted by resistance on their own side who blame leadership for their net loss of more than 1000 state and federal seats in the past 8 years," she says.

Mainstream liberals will be resisting far Left progressive activists within their own party, while the far Left activists resist Trump.

The coming summer days promise to be anything but lazy...even though it appears they will be quiet hazy.

Takeaway:

Don't send your kid to one of their "summer camps" and remember, God also has a plan.

Is. 55: 8-9:

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts."
