THIS REALLY GETS MY BILLY GOATS' GRUFFS!!
Our noble Brother Lt. Gen William G. Boykin is now under fire, merely for saying in a SOLICITED ENVIRONMENT what's been on all Good True Christian™ minds since the beginning of Time! (Namely and firstly, that America's enemy is Satan, and that God™ had put President George W. Bush in the White House.)
Outrageous.
The good True Christian™ can't win. First you're invited to speak at an innocent-sounding prayer breakfast....next your name is dragged throught the headlines backwards and forwards over + over against its will, with name-calling and disrespect to boot!
Speakers who are INVITED to speak at an event are in a GUESTIAL ENVIRONMENT. To criticize what they say in the press later is against all traditional traditions of hospitality.

'Extremist' speaker at West Point draws protests
By Jeff Black, msnbc.com
The Army is drawing protests from veterans’ and Islamic groups for inviting a retired general who many have called anti-Muslim to speak at a West Point prayer breakfast.
Lt. Gen William G. Boykin has been criticized for speeches at evangelical Christian churches in which he made disparaging remarks about Islam. Boykin has said that Muslims are trying to implement Shariah Law in the United States and that Islam is the greatest threat America faces.
According to The Associated Press, Boykin has also said that America's enemy was Satan, that God had put President George W. Bush in the White House and that one Muslim Somali warlord was an idol-worshipper.
Groups such as VoteVets.org, Military Religious Freedom Foundation, as well as Forum on Military Chaplaincy all petitioned the Pentagon to stop Boykin from speaking at the Feb. 8 breakfast, Stars and Stripes reported.
VoteVets.org told Army Gen. Raymond Odierno in a letter that allowing retired Boykin to speak at the Feb. 3 National Prayer Breakfast Service would be contrary to Army values and disrespectful to Muslim cadets.
