Obama 'compassion' only goes so far/ LTC Lakin: Time to act is NOW!
WND ^ | December 09, 2010 | Joseph Farah

Posted on 12/09/2010 8:42:45 PM PST by wintertime

Barack Obama loves to portray himself as a compassionate humanitarian.

Assuring justice and avoiding unnecessary punishment is such an obsession, he would have us believe, that he opposes detaining those participating in acts of war against the U.S. He even insisted on a civilian trial in New York for the man who confessed to masterminding the Sept. 11 attacks.

But Obama's compassion does have its limits.

There's one distinguished U.S. Army officer and physician who appears to be headed to prison soon.

He hasn't committed any crimes.

He has served his country honorably in foreign wars.

His reviews by superiors were all impeccable.

Yet, he is headed for a court-martial and a likely prison sentence and discharge because he wanted to ensure he was upholding the oath he took as a commissioned officer to support and defend the Constitution.

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin wanted to determine with certainty that the president who was ordering him deployed to another foreign war was actually constitutionally eligible to serve in office.

The entire question here is- Does the usurper have the authority to issue a direct order/does anyone below him in the chain of command have said authority when I would bet my career that Obama has no such legal status to be CIC and thus the order is illegal from top down. That is my contention. Now, zero need only spend $20 or so. He is too darn chicken——, too.

I've heard it said that at its core the Constitution relies on the honor of good men to work.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exactly! Whether or not our experiment in self rule succeeds depends entirely upon good will of honest citizens to make it work.

Some have claimed that the Constitution failed to exactly and precisely define the term “natural born citizen”. Hog slop! The Constitution could be the size of the IRS code and evil people would still find ways to pervert the meaning of “is”.

The most tightly crafted laws will never coral evil. Evil seeps through the smallest cracks in any contract.

One person can undo all of the law-making in a single stroke if they only have the audacity to do so and the people choose not to incite violence.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is still plenty that citizens could do without resorting to violence. Sadly...We are not even doing that.

You are such an excellent tap-dancer and a "master" in obscuring the real issue. NOT surprisingly from a "Fifth Column"!!!

And your ignoring reality is also noted.

And from whom and where did his brigade commander vs. two other superior officers got their "unlawful" orders from??? To order 30,000 extra troops into Afghanistan???

Lakin wasn't ordered to Afghanistan, he was ordered to report to his brigade commander's office located in the D.C. are and to report for duty with a unit in Kentucky.

***Normally I’m happy to do so. But for trolls like you I’ll say, go fetch yourself.

The translation being that there aren't any quotes and that you were lying. Does that sum it up?

Like I said, if there was one piece of paper that those guys could have been shown that proved their point invalid, they would have continued to stick to their passifist convictions. So now I expect from you, NS Troll, to go more round & round the way you’ve been doing for 2 years. Troll.

And as you also admitted that you have nothing to support your asinine claim. But where is that any different from your usual posts?

You’re an idiot.

You're a liar. Now where do we take the budding friendship of our's?

We will find out early next week whether a panel of Lt.C. Lakin’s fellow officers agrees with you or not in your interpretation of where military orders extend from.

The charges against Lieutenant Colonel Lakin don’t mention Obama and the Military Judge has already ruled that Obama has nothing to do with this trial. Lakin’s civilian attorney has said that the Judge ruled correctly on that issue.

In case you haven;t read the Lakin Court Martial charge sheet:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/30359983/LTC-LAKIN-CHARGED-Chargesheet-apf-14-chargesheet

So you would believe that a birth certificate released by Barack Obama at this late date is authentic. I find that to be fascinating.

WHO ordered the extra 30,000 troops to go to Afghanistan. Very simple question even to a “fifth column”???

Obama authorized it.

Now, what relevance does that have to the charges Lakin is facing? Very simple question, even for someone like you.

In SJ Res 23 Congress gave sole authority to “the President” to decide to use force in the war on terror.

Article 92, the article regarding orders by commissioned officers, says that a “lawful order” must be given by someone properly authorized to give “such an order”.

The orders that Lakin disobeyed were all contained within his order to deploy - a Temporary Change of Station that was to begin by him reporting to KY.

If Joe Biden is the only one who can “act as President” and he didn’t order the 30,000 additional troops, then the brigade commanders were not authorized to issue those deployment orders.

So it is CRITICAL to know which guy is Constitutionally authorized to “act as President” and thus authorized by Congress (in SJ Res 23) to order the use of force. If it’s Joe Biden, then the brigade commanders were never properly authorized to issue those deployment orders, because Joe Biden opposed the surge.

“What does it have to do with the charges Lakin is facing? “


A true fellow American is calling YOU an total Un-American, and I for one agree with him.

You learned very well from another “Navy” fellow. I can easily picture you standing in line behind John sKerry, and helping him by throwing your “brazz” medals (if you ever got any)-? over the fence at the W.H.!!!
