Freedom’s new weapon
September 12, 2006
By Frank Gaffney, Jr.
At a moment when things are not going particularly well in the War for the Free World – the global conflict with Islamofascism and its aiders and abetters in which, like it or not, we are currently embroiled – there is a bit of very welcome good news: America is employing at last a powerful new “weapon,” one that may help turn the tide.
Interestingly, this weapon is not being wielded by our men and women in uniform on the far-flung battlefields of this war. Yet, it has the potential not only to help them prevail there, but to avoid the need to use military force on other, present and future fronts in the War for the Free World.
Precision-Guided Dollars
Instead, a powerful new “force-multiplier” has begun to be brought to bear by government officials at both the federal and state levels, in corporate board rooms and by individual Americans across this country. In various ways but with a common purpose, we are starting to unleash our financial power to hurt freedom’s enemies and those who are enabling them.
