Silver Star Families Of America Founder Comes To General Boykin’s Defense

Feb. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- The founder of the Silver Star Families of America, a nonprofit organization that assists the wounded, injured and ill of our Armed Forces, came out today in an angry defense of retired three star General Boykin.
“The “politically correct” decision to withdraw an invitation to General Boykin to speak at the West Point Prayer Breakfast is a defeat for the freedom that the General has fought most of his life to give us.” Steve Newton said.
“It’s a slap in the face of God fearing, patriotic American veterans and active duty Armed Force members, when one of their own is rejected because of the opinions of a few Muslim cadets.  This sends the exact wrong message to our brave warriors:  Find them, fight them and kill them but don’t offend them even on your home turf.”
“It’s my opinion that this will lead to more wounded warriors and that is where we must step in and say “enough of this.”  It is high time that someone said that radical Islam does not meet Constitutional or common sense guidelines to be considered a religion.  It is a hostile system of government that publicly states that its intention is to overthrow our entire way of life and should not be allowed in this country.”
“General Boykin is not an Islamaphobe as CAIR has called him.  He is our modern day Paul Revere who is trying his best to spread the word that the enemy is inside our gates and that instead of bowing down to them we should be treating them like the enemy they are.  Whether we listen before it’s too late is up to us.”
