"April 19, 2010: Open Letter to Bill O’Reilly
Mr. O’Reilly:
Please refrain from using your “No Spin Zone” jingle. Please stop saying you support the troops. Your recent "opinion" story about LTC Lakin with Megyn Kelley proves both of these claims to be wrong.
Until convicted, LTC Lakin remains a soldier willing to and desiring to take care of troops and join them in any deployment. He chose to do so ONLY if his chain of command could provide all troops with the evidence that they are serving under Constitutionally eligible leadership.
Your statement that his disobeying orders was a way for him to get out of deployment is false. He met all pre-deployment requirements, still has his bags packed and would be on the next flight to Afghanistan for his second tour if there is valid or forthcoming evidence that Mr. Obama has met "Natural Born Citizen" status per the requirements of Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution. You tossed this decorated soldier under the bus without any research of the facts-- this doesn't reconcile with your claim to support the troops.
Megyn’s comment that his refusal to obey orders is a “political statement” is also without merit, but contains much spin. How is upholding the law-- the Constitution-- per his sworn oath as an officer, deemed a “political” act? We expect and demand a retraction for this reckless and unsubstantiated smear.
Megyn also stated there are military channels to deal with the issue. If you and Megyn had bothered to look at the information available about his efforts at our website, www.safeguardourconstitution.com, the timeline provided demonstrates that for over a year, LTC Lakin brought this issue to his supervisors, leaders, and Congressional representatives.
...
LTC Lakin attempted to use the military justice system to file two complaints. In those complaints, he pleaded with superiors to advise him if he was not using the right method or to provide advice on a way forward. The response was that his complaint was “deficient” and the Commander in Chief and the commanding General of the Army are not in his chain of command. After eighteen years serving in uniform, with many deployments overseas, he deserved honesty, not evasions. All American servicemembers deserve better than this.
Mr. O’Reilly, do you understand how meager the evidence is regarding the online copy of a Certification of Live Birth (COLB) and newspaper entries which were generated by the underlying, hidden document which Mr. Obama refuses to release?
Just a little bit of time for any serious investigative journalist would have revealed obvious problems with the COLB versus an original birth certificate; most notably lacking is a hospital name and attending doctor's signature.
Can you provide a reasonable explanation for the team of lawyers defending Mr. Obama's vital records in courtrooms across the country-- and the shroud of secrecy over all documents which might shed light on his actual birthplace?
Can you explain why no hospital in Hawaii has yet laid claim to being the birthplace of this President?-- yet many Kenyans publicly, and including on the floor of the Kenyan Parliament, claim he was born there? It is clear that the State of Hawaii has lax verification policies to obtain a birth record and that it altered a website in June 2009 to make the COLB appear co-equal to an original birth certificate-- when it never was before.

“The lack of standing doesn’t have anything to do with who is ‘charged with ensuring eligibility.’”
Read what you wrote and admit you were drunk when you wrote it...
Or read some court cases - some of the many that birthers have lost.
Me drunk is still at least 1,000 times smarter than what you originally posted. No case says that being charged with ensuring eligibility is the reason that standing is denied. Standing is about stating particularized legal harm.
"Cite the United States law, from 1961, that would deny a foreigner THEIR right to pass their foreign citizenship onto their child born in the states
Do you honestly believe the Founding Fathers sacrificed everything so that the son of a Brit could one day become POTUS and that they were so inept as to allow a loop hole in the Constitution so that it could happen?
"As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children."
“”Cite the United States law, from 1961, that would deny a foreigner THEIR right to pass their foreign citizenship onto their child born in the states”
Foreign governments can give any right they wish - as I’ve pointed out, Putin could give all Americans Russian citizenship - and it wouldn’t count for squat unless a person took steps to claim what the foreign government gave.
And as I’ve pointed out before, one of the causes of the War of 1812 was that the British government claimed someone who was a naturalized US citizen still owed allegiance to England - and we fought a successful war to REJECT that idea.
There is no need for a US law since 1961, given that it has been US law - backed by war - since before 1812.
“These two also:
Do you honestly believe the Founding Fathers sacrificed everything so that the son of a Brit could one day become POTUS and that they were so inept as to allow a loop hole in the Constitution so that it could happen?”
The US Constitution allowed someone born abroad to be President, if they were a citizen at the time the Constitution was adopted...so it specifically allowed, not just the son of a Brit, but someone BORN in Britain to become President, if they were a citizen in 1783.
They did NOT restrict the presidency to those born in the US of US parents, but just to those born in the US. The question, as I pointed out to you in previous links, was “Would this person by birth owe natural allegiance to the USA and not a foreign power?”
“”As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.”
Wrong, as discussed above. It gave Barry the OPTION of moving to the UK and declaring himself a British citizen, but it could not rob him of his American birthright. Anyone claiming Barry has divided loyalties between the USA and the UK is a blithering idiot, and the courts have consistently rejected that stupid idea - as did 50 states, and the US Congress without ANY exception.
You can't. And the reason you can't, is that no such law exists....because the U.S. can not deny a foreigner from passing their "citizenship" unto their children.
As a Barry supporter you should feel ashamed for trying to deny the man his father's heritage.
“the U.S. can not deny a foreigner from passing their “citizenship” unto their children.”
Nor can they compel it - which is sufficient. The courts and our government have consistently ruled that someone born in the US is a US citizen by birth, with no allegiance to any other state unless they desire it.
The exceptions are the children of foreign diplomats, military, etc. And they STILL are US citizens unless they reject it by choice when old enough to do so, having obtained citizenship the natural way - by birth!
Liar, prove it.
Cite a case with that specific language.
Liar, prove it.
Cite a case with that specific language."
---------------------------------------------------
Of course, he can't prove it and he knows it. So, he rambles on about non-sense.
Barry, born the subject of the crown of her majesty the Queen of England REGARDLESS of where he was born.
Assuming Sr. was his legal father at birth.
I’ve proved it more than once. I’m sorry you are too stupid to read English.
Don't be a child.
You continue to assert that such a law exists. Either man up, or go away.
Provide the US law that prevents a child born in the states from inheriting their foreign parent(s) foreign citizenship.
Well, we don't know who you are but you have revealed what you are.
