The examples of disregard for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the authority of the legislative and judicial branches of the federal government from Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) and his administration are staggering in number, and one example of his lawlessness has been on display since before the election. I understand that the fix is entirely in on Obama’s lack of proof of his eligibility to hold the office of President. Before the election, there were people demanding that he prove he is a natural born citizen. He never has, and I know he never will.
The despicable “mainstream” media are fully on Obama’s side and have waged a steady, vicious campaign to falsely portray those of us who question Obama’s eligibility as being stupid or crazy. They also falsely paint this as a “where he was born issue,” and they claim that those of us who question Obama’s eligibility believe he was not born in the United States. Although we do not know where he was born, that is not the point. Obama himself lays out the main, incriminating detail when he declares that his father was a foreigner. Our Founders understood, and the Supreme Court noted in Minor v. Happersett, that the definition of a natural born citizen is a person born in the country of two citizen parents of that country. That clearly disqualifies Obama.
Last week, those of us who care were strung along by the false hope that a judge and the Secretary of State in Georgia would do the right thing and find Obama ineligible to be on the ballot in Georgia. After Obama and his lawyers ignored a subpoena to appear and prove his eligibility (a clear-cut case of contempt of court), and after lawyers in the hearings entered evidence into the court record indicating that Obama is not eligible to be President, the judge nevertheless caved in to the will of the Obama machine and ruled him eligible to be on the Georgia ballot.
It is plain to see that the powers behind Obama—who is likely nothing more than a puppet of the forces of evil that are destroying America—have the ability to prevent anyone from succeeding in ripping the mask off this fraud in our White House. So be it. The rule of law and the Constitution are murdered in America under this current regime. OK, I get it.
We are left with outrage upon outrage against the Constitution and the American people, and one person in particular has received another unjust blow for daring to stand for the Constitution. You will recall the gut-wrenching ordeal of Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Terry Lakin, a highly decorated Army doctor and flight surgeon, who, after repeatedly attempting to no avail to verify that Barack Obama is actually a legal Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces, decided to invite his own court martial, as he put it, and refused orders to deploy for a second time to Afghanistan.
The Obama machine was not about to allow discovery of his lack of eligibility, even though it is quite evident that he is not eligible if his father is who he claims he is. Dr. Lakin was crushed like a bug under a truck tire in the sham of a court martial where he was not even allowed to present a defense or have discovery, and he spent 6 months incarcerated at Fort Leavenworth. He received a dishonorable discharge, loss of rank, pension and pay. Many people criticized Dr. Lakin’s decision to go that ill-fated route, but I respected his desire to uphold his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. He is an honorable man.
Dr. Lakin served his time and is back in the civilian world, and news broke this week that back in October Dr. Lakin applied in Kansas for a medical license to practice with his brother, Dr. Greg Lakin, in his brother’s Wichita clinic, but the medical board, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (KSBHA), denied Dr. Lakin the license; however, the denial had nothing to do with Dr. Lakin’s medical performance.
As Dana Wright of KCTV in Kansas City reported,
“A Kansas board that denied a licensed doctor of osteopathic medicine a license was primarily concerned about the man's political views.
The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts is a 15-member panel appointed by the governor and decides the fate of doctors in Kansas.
Terrence Lee Lakin rose to the ranks of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army. He served on the front lines in Afghanistan and the war zone in Bosnia as well as a medical mission to Honduras. He saved lives around the world and received a Bronze Star for his service.
'I like helping people,' said Lakin. 'And I've been, since college wanting to be in [the] medical field and help others.'
... The board repeatedly refused comment on their decision, but a transcript of Lakin's shows board members didn't concern themselves with Lakin's 18-year spotless medical record.
'They hammered me for my political views,' said Lakin.”
The KCTV story mistakenly claims that Dr. Lakin does not believe Obama was born in the United States. Dr. Lakin did not say that. He simply has doubts and questions about Obama’s eligibility to be President, and he wanted his questions answered. Of course, they never were.
Now, we have this blatantly political attack on Dr. Lakin, who is already licensed to practice medicine in two other states. The conduct of the KSBHA was such that it could have been stacked with Obama operatives, and it may well be, for all I know. That board has a history of corruption, even though the current Governor Sam Brownback is said to be cleaning house.
Before her new position as Obama’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, as Governor of Kansas, was responsible for appointing members to that medical board. In fact, she was exposed for handing out KSBHA appointments in exchange for campaign contributions. She also loaded the board with pro-aborts and was good buddies with campaign contributor, George “Tiller the Killer,” the late, infamous partial-birth abortionist.
In writing for WND about the ill-treatment of Dr. Lakin by the KSBHA, Jack Minor reported,
"Michael Beezley asked why Lakin had no problem deploying in 2004, but had issues 'going over there after President Obama was elected, is that the big kick?'
Another doctor, Ronald Whitmer also questioned Lakin’s eligibility views, asking if he believed Obama was a U.S. citizen. When Lakin attempted to answer, Whitmer interrupted, asking what it would take to convince him that Obama is a U.S. citizen.
When Lakin pointed out the questions had nothing to do with his medical qualifications, Whitmer fired back, asking if the president had a valid birth certificate."
This is simply despicable. Now, before you say the medical board was simply doing the right thing because of Dr. Lakin’s court martial conviction, I would point you to another part of the KCTV story,
"Just as Lakin's medical record didn't matter to the board, another doctor's medical record also didn't matter to the panel.
KCTV5's investigation reveals that in 2008, the KSBHA board approved the license of another doctor with a history of medical mistakes and malpractice payouts. One patient died after a drill mishap in the operating room. A surgical error caused repeated electrical shocks to a second patient. And a third patient wasn't even that doctor's patient. The physician didn't notice, ended up performing brain surgery on the wrong man and caused permanent damage.
The board refused our repeated requests for an interview about the decisions it makes and the seeming disparity of these two cases. A renowned University of Pennsylvania medical ethicist, Art Caplan, agreed to weigh in on the situation.
'Political beliefs, I think, should play no role,' said Caplan. 'Is it going to be a popularity contest that decides what political views you can have as a doctor? Or is it going to be the majority views that decides what political views you can have? Obviously, again - I don't think this is relevant to who practices well.'
Lakin agrees with Caplan. 'I knew medical boards had a bad reputation. I had hoped this issue would have nothing to do with my practice.'
Lakin's only recourse now is a judicial appeal, but he's uncertain that he can afford the costs."
So, it would seem Dr. Lakin is still being made an example of for daring to question the dictator-in-chief. I have no doubt the members of this board are on Obama’s side and that this sham of a license hearing had everything to do with continuing punishment of Dr. Lakin for crossing Obama.
From the WND article,
“Lakin told WND that he had never been asked about his political views at a medical board hearing until now.
'I went in there expecting them to talk about my military history, however I thought we would focus on medical judgment and medical practice issues and not on political issues,' Lakin said. 'It seemed as if there was an agenda against me from the get go.'”
There most certainly is an agenda against Dr. Lakin and against every other American who stands in opposition to this lawless administration. The Obama regime’s tentacles of influence stretch all across the country and infect the media, courts, schools, local governments and other institutions wherein fellow-travelers reside.
The desperate need to get Obama, his administration and the radical congressional Democrats out of office could not be more extreme. This November’s election is literally “do or die” for America, and that is not hyperbole. If Obama gets “reelected” by hook and crook, then our remaining freedoms are in grave danger. Don’t doubt it.
I hope I never need medical care in Kansas....seems competence of the doctors is not their priority.
Wake up people of Kansas to a rat in your midst.
Thank you for posting this ... Nothing is more compelling than the truth.
he was and is a deserter.....
Perhaps he can find a way to continue his healing work as a missionary or clinic administrator
There are other nations where the needs are compelling
Perhaps Franklin Graham can find him a position
Africa or Russia perhaps, Dr Lakin?
Godspeed
Lakin brought his troubles on himself. The time-honored practice for officers who disagree with their superiors is to resign. Lakin should have resigned rather than disobey an order. Now he has a dishonorable discharge on his record, which is almost as opprobrious as a conviction for first-degree murder of forcible rape.
That is why we MUST vote against obama this Nov!
No matter who is the nominee, the not-obama will be much better than obama -
1. no more czar!
2. less suppport for the union thugs and radical agencies (EPA...)
3. cut spending much more than obozo - i.e less deficit/debt
4. lower tax - higher employment
5. more business friendly
6. less likely to appoint liberal radical judges
7. stronger defense (except Paul)
8. more religious freedom
9. Lt. Lakin will have a chance....
It takes baby steps! Have a conservative congress and vigilant people holding the new pres accountable. It will be big improvement over another 4 years of obozo!
another 4 yrs of obozo = end of USA!
he was and is a deserter.....
...only to fellow travelers and useful idiots. To Americans he is a Constitution loving Soldier who did his duty until running into the illegal and immoral go along/get along lifers ...
ymmv
Dr. Lakin tried every avenue up the chain of command to determine if “obama” is a legal Commander-in-Chief. He was never given an answer. He deliberately invited his own court martial incorrectly thinking he might get discovery.
Is there ever a point at which soldiers should finally stop obeying unlawful orders, if they are unlawfully given by a fraud in command? Does our military just roll over to this criminal communist in the White House, and for how long?
If more military members in Nazi Germany had resisted Hitler’s evil orders, maybe millions of people would not have been murdered.
It is painfully obvious to me that you have not served in the military
....so besides being the goalong/getalong useful idiot, your crystal ball also failed to tell you my years with MI during the Vietnam era say the light you are looking at is indeed a train about to run over you. Just following illegal orders didn’t work at Nurenberg and isn’t an excuse today. Larkin challenged the perfumed princes of the Pentagon and they ignored law and process to railroad him... and you’re proud they trashed the Constitution... wow let’s celebrate conservatism!!! pppffffttttt
ymmv
Thank you for your service.... now, which orders were illegal??? The order to deploy??? If so, are you saying that the troops that chose to obey their orders are nazi’s deserving of a trial like nuremburg??? or are the troops that deployed ignoring the constitution. I for one think you and the other poster are ignorant idiots that deserve nothing but my contempt for putting our troops in the same category as nazi’s..... take your self righteous bullshit somewhere down the line.....
I am not an ignorant idiot, but it seems you are a jackass for such boorish name-calling. I did not compare OUR TROOOPS to Nazis, either.
If a Commander-in-Chief is illegally occupying that position, then, technically EVERYTHING HE DOES IS ILLEGITIMATE. Of course that commie bastard will never be held accountable for his crimes in office, but that’s not going to stop me from writing these columns (like the one above) about his fraud.
In your mind when should an officer refuse an order?
When should an officers say no to a person who fails e-verify, uses a fraudulent social security number, has a history of numerous social security numbers, posted blatantly forged birth documents, and refuses to document his identity with certifiable evidence?
WXRGina has a point when she says, “If more military members in Nazi Germany had resisted Hitler’s evil orders, maybe millions of people would not have been murdered.”
He is a hero.
Good points, Wintertime.
Those were expansions of my honest points and questions to joe fonebone. I was not attacking him or being an “ignorant idiot.” I was honestly—and politely, I might add—asking, “is there ever a point at which our troops should take a stand against a lawless Commander-in-Chief?”
His hostile reaction to my legitimate question was inordinate.
I for one think you and the other poster are ignorant idiots that deserve nothing but my contempt for putting our troops in the same category as nazi’s.
...man you can take all your immature crap down your own rathole. try less projection or putting your mindless strawman interpretations in my or others heads. when you can’t think straight, you don’t have much of an argument. Try reading the old threads on the Larkin case and you may learn something. He isn’t a traitor and you need to avoid the knee jerk reaction. comments are more useful that are on topic... good luck with that.
ymmv
Do you believe that our **brave** and **honorable** troops deserve better? Do their families deserve better?
In your mind when should an officer refuse an order?
When should an officer say no to a person who fails e-verify, uses a fraudulent social security number, has a history of numerous social security numbers, posted blatantly forged birth documents, and refuses to document his identity with certifiable evidence? If this is not enough what is?
Is ignoring identity theft, numerous social security numbers, failure to e-verify, forgery, and refusal to provide certified birth identification now part of the military code of honor and part of the oath to defend the Constitution?
How about answering these straightforward questions instead of calling me “immature” and using other scatological references.
Did his duty? That's a joke.
ymmv
You know who else's milleage may vary? Major Craig Dobson, the flight surgeon who had to fill in at the last minute as Lakin's replacement in Afghanistan and who recounted how two days after arriving in theatre, the unit suffered a mass-casualty attack, with sixteen wounded. He said that he was not, in his opinion, as well-prepared to deal with the attack as he would have been had he had longer to prepare for operations at the FOB. Lakin's defense had the audacity to suggest on cross examination that the deployment was probably a good career opportunity for Major Dobson.
Lakin deserved what he received --an outcome that was wholly predictable from the moment he made his intentions known.
Could it be that perks and pensions are more important to them than defending the Constitution and their military code of honor? Are they ignoring identity theft,forgery, failure to e-verify, multiple social security numbers, election and campaign fraud in exchange for perks?
Is this how they watch the backs of the **BRAVE** and **HONORABLE** troops serving under them? ( Just wondering.)
What are they teaching today in our military academies about identity theft, usurping the position of Commander in Chief, lying, forgery, and fraud?
These are honest questions, and deserve more than insults.
