Death List - 'I'll Get Two
Of Them Before They Get
One Of Me'
By Lawrence Henry

The other day, Rush Limbaugh took a phone call
from a calm,
reasonable-sounding man who said that there were
some Americans who
simply weren't going to stand for being
steamrollered by liberalism any
more, that they were prepared - indeed, expected -
to have to fight an
armed revolution to take their country back.
Rush gets calls like that periodically. As he
always does, he asked the caller
where the battles of this revolution would be
fought, and how. This
particular caller did not (as such callers usually
do not) provide any clear
answers, perhaps because he hadn't thought the
subject through
completely. But the man was right about one thing:
There definitely are a
number of people in the United States who are
armed, ready, and waiting
- simply for some tipping point - to start
shooting.
They just don't call up talk shows and say so.
How many of them are there? Somewhere between
50,000 and a million.
Enough to cause a whole lot of trouble. Yes, some
of them nurture
romantic dreams of fighting guerrilla battles in
the mountains. Plenty of
others - enough - know that won't work.
They know that revolutions are not won by pitched
battles. They know
that no insurrectionary force could stand up to
the firepower of the United
States military. No, instead, they have death
lists. They plan assassinations.
They know that some few - perhaps a few thousand -
key people direct
the legal, regulatory, and cultural movements they
despise. And they have
adopted a simple credo, one by one: "I'll get two
of them before they get
one of me."
This revolutionary cadre, entirely unorganized,
simmering like an
unfocused viral epidemic, occupies the core of a
number of discontented
populations. In the broadest sense, they
constitute the armed wing of what
political activist Grover Norquist called "the
leave-us-alone coalition."
Make no mistake, the powers that be know this. And
they're afraid. That
fear lies behind the moves in the liberal
establishment to outlaw home
schooling, state by state; to oppose school
vouchers, battleground by
battleground (have to preserve that
indoctrination); to create military-style
law enforcement units in agencies like the
Immigration and Naturalization
Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and
Firearms, and in Special
Weapons and Tactical Squads (SWAT teams) of local
police departments;
to demoralize and weaken the military (which has a
natural and historic
affinity for patriotism and "leave us alone"
sentiments); to hype up
executive security forces; to confiscate guns; to
hamstring free enterprise
through lawsuits - these and hundreds of other
establishment efforts to
consolidate dictatorial power.
These potential revolutionaries are resigned to
being hated, demonized as
nut cases, religious fanatics, gap-toothed idiots,
yokels, and benighted,
laughable fools. They know that a few deaths can
make a big difference
(look how badly the Republican party has missed
Lee Atwater). They're
resigned to forcing a national police action.
They're willing, like classic
Leninists, to provoke a crackdown simply to rouse
revolutionary chaos.
As revolutionaries, these assassins-to-be also
know that they probably
cannot win their fight. High-profile killings will
certainly be treated as
terrorism by the government and the media, working
in lockstep. Some
assassinations will be covered up outright; the
public will never know. The
revolutionaries may be counting on sympathy from
the military - even the
desertion of some military units to the cause.
More likely, a demoralized
and emasculated military will not get involved in
the fight at all.
But the revolutionaries don't care. At some key
tipping point, they reason
their lives are forfeit anyway: their country is
gone, its principles and
traditions raped, its institutions occupied by
enemy forces. Change will be
impossible by any legal means. Democracy will be
dead.
That tipping point is very near.
