President Obama Needs to Prove His Constitutional Eligibility to Be Commander-in-Chief

[Non-Sequitur]

Many cowards abound.......this Colonel stands tall!

So are you implying that those who followed the orders of their commanding officers and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as ordered are cowards?

[Non-Sequitur]

Since Nuremberg, My Lai, and even Abu Ghraib more recently, the military has been taught the hard lessons of following illegal orders.

Well I suggest he not commit acts of genocide, massacre villages or mistreat prisoners and he should be OK.

[Canedawg]

Honestly I think he was born in Kenya.

That makes you a birther- apparently a self-loathing birther.

[roaddog727]

So actions in support of and defending the Constitution are a waste of time?

[varon]

This birther crap is past getting old.

You seem to be succumbing to incrementalism.

[panthermom]

He is NOT a Natural Born Citizen!!!!!!! You must have 2 parents that are citizens.......his father was an alien...a British subject.....hell, he wasn’t even a resident alien, he wasn’t even a naturalized citizen, he was a visiting student!!!!

Does history and the foundation of this country not make any difference?? Do we just change the rules to suit us or do we live within the rule of law?

We have diluted everything the founders fought so hard for...lets just move on, right?

[Non-Sequitur]

Dr. Terrence Lakin is an active duty Lieutenant Colonel...

Not for much longer I'm thinking.

[Non-Sequitur]

One of the things they taught you in basic was to never obey an illegal order. It was up to you to determine...

Really? Tell that to people like Michael New and Ehren Watada.

[PA-RIVER]

Bull.

Michelle Obama said Kenya is his home country.

Lets take the First lady at her word.

[panthermom]

Thank you. My son is going to Ft. Benning in a little over 2 weeks, I remind him that Presidents come and go as do our elected officials but the Constitution is the thing that remains constant.

[panthermom]

There is really nothing to hide, it is all out in the open and acknowledged......his father was a British Subject...he is NOT Natural Born no matter where his birth took place...he could have been born in the steps of the Capital and he is still NOT Natural Born!!!

[rae4palin]

Amen!

[conservativegramma]

Screw you. This man is far more courageous then a coward like yourself who WILL NOT stand up for our constitution. What’s getting old is the crap coming from you and those like you who think one man is above the law.

You are a waste of time and don’t deserve liberty or freedom.

[zeebee]

Btt

[circumbendibus]

Is there any Democrat who could come clean out of this?

Bayh? Can't think of anyone else.

[rodguy911]

The troll crap is getting much older...

[Non-Sequitur]

It was also emphasized that if we were given a illegal order that we not only had the right to question the order but the DUTY to question the order and seek guidance from higher in the chain of command.

He has been ordered to deploy to Afghanistan. What is illegal about that order? Are you suggesting that the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have gone to Iraq and Afghanistan as ordered are following illegal orders and it it they who should be court martialled and not LCOL Lakin?

[rodguy911]

Lakin is a patriot, says what he means and means what he says.

[Non-Sequitur]

I think Lakin wrote a very good statement. I just donated $20. I admire him. Thanks for posting this.

It doesn't bother you that he's organized a legal defense fund without having been charged with anything? What happens to all that money if the Army merely retires him or rescinds the order? Are you going to expect him to send you a refund?

[rodguy911]

Same here, I think Hillary knows as much as well.
