I don't, he brought it upon himself.
Understood. But I wonder what it would take for the media to top spinnign 24/7 for Obama.
Get real! Because he's an intelligent man I'd wager that the Colonel knew from the start that he's cooked.
An Army doc who refuses to go to Afghanistan until President Obama produces a birth certificate
(I had to look it up)
He’s the guy who refused orders to deploy until Obama proved he was eligible to be president. Not surprisingly he’s been charged with missing movement and refusing to obey the orders of his brigade commander and is being court martialed. What all the screaming is about is the court refused to allow the defense to subpoena Obama or his records for the trial.
“Maybe it sounds far-fetched”
It sounds incredibly, stupidly far-fetched.
Thanks
OK ... I looked the guy up.
This is the guy that refused deployment because he believes Obama is ineligible for the Presidency ... an admirable and gutsy move that has almost no hope of working.
The Court ruled that some evidence of Obama’s eligibility was not germane to the case because Obama’s eligibility does not affect whether military orders from superior officers must be followed by junior officers. In short — the judge ruled that Obama’s eligibility does not affect whether a Lt.Col. must follow the orders of a Colonel ... so the evidence was irrelevant.
This is pretty well how the case was expected to go. Junior officers are not called to judge whether their superiors are eligible to give orders, and are generally not permitted to willfully disobey an order and then demand documents from the Commander-in-Chief (eligible or otherwise) to justify why he should obey a superior.
The guy was always going to be punished for disobeying a superior ... it is the choice he made.

Hey I refuse to pay federal taxes to the IRS until Obozo releases the appropriate forms that all military personnel are required to submit. If a doctor works for the military he must submit his college transcripts, medical school transcripts. a soldier must submit high school transcripts and appropriate birth certificate. college student must report selective service registration number, high school transcripts and financial aid transcript. Why praytell is Obozo any different. What is it color, heritage or what. Affirmative Action does not free a person from the law.

The ump made a mistake (which he has admitted to). It happens.

Nice addition to the FR culture ... ;)
Terry Lakin will become our generation’s John Brown.
>> Hey I refuse to pay federal taxes to the IRS until Obozo releases the appropriate forms [...] Affirmative Action does not free a person from the law.
Neither does a protest, no matter how right or heartfelt. There were Vietnam protesters (Noam Chomsky among them) that refused to pay taxes because of the war. There were also soldiers that refused deployment based on the legality of the orders to both Vietnam and (more recently) Iraq.
If you choose the protest, you choose the consequences. That’s why its a protest. Its the nature of the game. The IRS garnished Chomsky’s paychecks to pay his taxes. Objectors to the Vietnam war and Iraq war were court martialed for refusing orders.
This guy will likely have to face the consequences of disobeying an order.

Or our generation's Don Quixote, one of the two.
That was a travesty!
