Alan Keyes' rant that soldiers should refuse orders given by President Obama has produced at least one tangible example. World Net Daily reports that Scott Easterling a U.S. soldier on active duty in Iraq has called President Obama an "impostor" in a statement in which he affirmed plans to join as plaintiff in a challenge to Obama's eligibility to be commander in chief.
The statement was publicized by California attorney Orly Taitz who, along with her Defend Our Freedom Foundation, is working on a series of legal cases seeking to uncover Obama's birth records and other documents that would reveal whether he meets the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.
"As an active-duty officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of president of the United States," wrote Scott Easterling in a "to-whom-it-may-concern" letter.
"Until Mr. Obama releases a 'vault copy' of his original birth certificate for public review, I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office – an impostor," his statement said.
WND reported yesterday that U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said during a meeting with constituents in Cullman County he has never seen proof the new president was born in Hawaii.
"Well, his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate," Shelby said. "You have to be born in America to be president."
Recently President Obama’s picture was removed from a base commissary in Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, prompting a challenge by employees as it was allegedly removed after one customer complained noting Obama’s race.
While this may not be a trend, it is noteworthy that the hostility is so openly practiced by those sworn to uphold the Constitution. As President, Ronald Reagan started the practice of treating the military as an adjunct to the Republican Party. Senator Jesse Helms warned President Clinton that if he visited a military base in North Carolina he may be shot and President George W. Bush routinely used members of the military as props during public relations tours.
How about formenting rebellion to save the Republic? This goes far beyond “politics”.
Alas, the republican party seems to be mostly missing from the ‘save the republic’ efforts.
I thought the media considered Keyes to be inconsequential...
WND has reported that there are now two soldiers signed
on as plaintiffs.
The new one is a reservist M.P. on active duty and stationed
in Iraq.
Seems he left the GOP as well, if I recall.
He also didn't say that they should refuse orders. He said that Obama should cough up the ten bucks for his real birth certificate because there may be a multitude of ways in which his authority might be called into question if he doesn't prove he's actually constitutionally qualified to be the President of the United States.
These people are such liars. It's all they know how to do.
LOL! The republican party can’t even get out of its own way, much less foment rebellion among the military against Obama.
The constitution makes no mention of the Republican Party,
but it does mention “the people” multiple times.
I believe this 10th amendment movement is the best strategy at present. Granted, it’s only step one and has no teeth, but it puts the tyrants on notice.
I have been thinking for some time now that the military may have to step in and have a quiet takeover in order to save this country from destruction by those who are trying to destroy it.
Actual conservatives that believe in the constitution,now they just might kick back and kick back hard.
Leftists can’t help themselves. Lying and/or not grasping the issues at hand are all they ever do.
Barf alert needed! >-o
The excreter of this crapola:

The Republicans are an ineffectual group of limp-wristed girly men. They couldn’t foment a rebellion if their lives depended on it. They are impotent, worthless, worse than worthless: They delude the weak-minded into believing they are actually a force for conservatism. That’s a crock.
Face facts folks, we’ve lost the Republic and the “Republicans” cannot possibly provide the channel by which to re-establish it. We’ve got to look to a third party or start our own party.
Moore, Ron. how perfect.
Mr. Moore would do well to remember that a) our oath is to defend the Constitution, NOT the President, and that b) our oath requires us to defend the Constitution from both foreign and DOMESTIC enemies.
Hearing that in school must have scarred him for life. Made him become a community organizer.
