WINTER 2017

how to exterminate little platoons
John Zmirak
The Intimidation Game: How the Left Is Silencing Free Speech
By Kimberley Strassel
(New York: Twelve, 2016)

M

ost Americans agree that police should not be able to raid
citizens' homes at dawn without notice and seize their personal records and computers at gunpoint, in order to scrutinize
their political activities. That's what police did in Wisconsin in
2015 to a wide range of private citizens who'd opposed the recall
of Governor Scott Walker, in the infamous "John Doe" investigations-which included a shocking "gag order" threatening those
citizens with legal punishment even for revealing that their homes
had been raided.
Nor should private citizens who support a political cause have
their names exposed, so that they can be harassed, boycotted,
and fired. That is what happened to Brendan Eich, cofounder
of Mozilla, for a years-old contribution in defense of traditional
marriage.
Nor should voters who try to organize educational or activist
groups in defense of the Constitution be subject to interrogation,
demands for private information, and retaliatory tax audits by
the IRS. That is what happened to hundreds of citizens who were
targeted by IRS head Lois Lerner in her campaign to quash the
Tea Party movement.
John Zmirak is author, most recently, of  The Politically Incorrect Guide to
Catholicism and a senior editor at The Stream.
