Hmmm...let you make demands that I have to jump to meet...no thanks. There are posters here that I respect, but you are not one of them.

Your lack of respect, will certainly not keep me awake or ruin my sleep, BTW, how is your meds, hopye/change doing for you???

OK Mr. Tap-dancer, you wouldn't answer that question, so I take that you never took that oath either, because your postings doesn't reflect that!

So I went and looked it up and it says the following: "I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. "!!

My own Oath was a little different from the above, when I became a legal U.S. citizen: ""I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

I presume that Lt.Col. Lakin took the same oath to the "CONSTITUTION", NOT to the pRESIDENT. There is no doubt in my mind that he believe firmly (like I and many other Freepers do) that he does NOT have a legitimate C-i-C and he thereby, like the rest of us, has to defend the Constitution. The primary and very first thing mentioned in that Oath, is to DEFEND against all enemies, foreign and domestic, it's nothing more and nothing less. It's a real sad thing that we have or have had people in the military who are afraid to stand up and defend the Constitution. If you still don't believe that our Constitution is being attacked by foreign and domestic enemies, then not only have you knee-pads on but large horse-blinders. Very sad time in our nations future!!!

Lakin cannot defend the Constitution against the electorate, the Congress & Supreme Court.

Your problem is that you want to rule by dictate, and not need to do annoying things like win elections, or comply with how 50 states, the Congress and the Supreme Court read the Constitution.

Hate to break it to you, but danamco doesn’t define the Constitution or the law, and Lakin will find that out when he gets his butt handed to him.

You ought to try reading the Constitution sometime. You won’t find a single line about how the military gets to pick the President over the wishes of the people, Congress & the Courts...
