Retired Lt. Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin, whose fiery exhortations to protect America from encroaching Shariah law and other dangers have highlight headlines in recent months, has been named executive vice president of Family Research Council.

I heard Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council speak several weeks ago. He is a dynamic speaker! FRC is a great pro-family organization. Be sure and sign up for their e-mails.

Thanks for the heads up. I missed it earlier. Just saw this article and thought it needed to be in the FR news database. Did a quick search to make sure it hadn’t already been posted, but didn’t spot yours. They each provide important and different info IMHO.

Under the leadership of Mr. Boykin, I expect we will be hearing a lot more about the Family Research Council.
He should be able to protect himself as he knows and can prove where many a ‘body’ is buried and also has the personal loyalty from the people he led.
I call this ‘good news’.

We can write him for President, and maybe Allen West as VP.
