An Army doctor who disobeyed orders to deploy to Afghanistan because he questions Barack Obama's eligibility to be president has pleaded guilty to 1 of 2 charges against him.

At a court-martial proceeding Tuesday in Maryland, Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin of Greeley, Colo., pleaded guilty to not meeting with a superior when ordered to do so and not showing up at Fort Campbell in Kentucky where he was supposed to report.

The best he can hope for is to just get this over with as quickly as possible so he can appeal in the civilian courts the fact that his due process and 6th Amendment rights were grossly violated.

Someone who pleads guilty cannot thereafter appeal on those grounds. Pleading “guilty” means he is saying he is, in fact and law, guilty.

Correct. Lakin has given up his right to appeal as well as his right to sue for wrongful conviction in Civilian Courts.

Dereliction of their duties does not exonerate the accused Usurper-In-Chief. It only makes them complicit.


Ah, the good old “mass conspiracy” theory.

The background of building Obama's character by communist drug dealer Frank Marshall Davis and Chicago radical Saul Alinsky deserve far more attention than arguing about where he may have been born.

You have my complete agreement and support on this point. The Obama gang is deliriously happy about what the useful idiot birther crowd has done on their behalf. Obama has plenty to hide, but its not likely anything to do with the place of his birth.

Fukino was just as accurate about Obama posting his “birth certificate” online as she was accurate about them receiving 50 requests for Obama’s BC per month - which has been proven false.

The fact that she can lie under oath with impunity on both counts is a sad indicator of the level of lawlessness in Hawaii.

A group of about 30 birthers (((otherwise known to patriots as supporters))) attended Tuesday’s hearing, handing out leaflets with a picture of Obama labeled “usurper” and “ineligible.”

You are welcome to your opinion, but he put his career on the line. All I see are a bunch of gutless wonders in Congress, and the Judiciary.

It is what it is.

Yes, anyone who has the authority and jurisdiction to investigate the biggest fraud in US history has been derelict in their duties.

Mass indeed.

The Lt. Col. is under the UCMJ (unifomed Code of Military Justice). It’s not the same as for a civilian. Bottom line is this. The military can do whatever they want with anyone. They are following orders from the top.

The big mistake this Lt. Col. made was to think he would actually get a fair trial. Fair does not apply to UCMJ. They do whatever they want. It’s basically a Kangaroo Court.

Being that the majority of congress along with the majority of the Supreme Court are too chicken $hit to deal with this (probably because of political correctness) nothing will be done. Heck there are some people on Free Republic that truly believe that. So it’s pretty much a dead issue. I wish it would played fairly, but that is never going to happen. I know the saying, “Never say Never”, but I believe in this instance (well as long as Obama is in office) it will never happen. Perhaps down the road the truth will come out?

It is not fraudulent for an Indonesian refugee, legally residing in the U.S. (commonly referred to as a Green Card holder) to apply for a SSN with the SSA.

Obama’s 1975-76 SSN application correctly identifies him as a “Legal Resident” and not a “U.S. Citizen.” Correctly identifying your status on an application to a U.S. government is not fraudulent.

Later, Obama stopped being a legal resident of the U.S. and became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. Again, there is nothing fraudulent about an Indonesian refugee legally residing in America for several years and the becoming a naturalized U.S. Citizen.

Obama did not commit fraud until he applied to be on the ballot as POTUS in all 57 states and declared himself to be eligible. Only a natural born citizen is eligible to be POTUS.

This makes me want to spit on the United States military.

And I'm sure that all of those presently proudly serving in Iraq and Afghanistan defending our way of life will be happy to hear that.

Why don't you start by spitting on these six soldiers:

Cpl. Sean M. Collins, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

Cpl. Willie A. McLawhorn Jr., 23, of Conway, N.C.

Spc. Patrick D. Deans, 22 of Orlando, Fla.

Spc. Kenneth E. Necochea Jr., 21, of San Diego, Calif.

Spc. Derek T. Simonetta, 21, of Redwood City, Calif.

Spc. Jorge E. Villacis, 24, of Sunrise, Fla.

Well, you actually you won't be able to spit on any of them as they were killed in action on December 12 in Afghanistan while serving with the 101st Airborne Division, the same unit with whom LTC Lakin was supposed to deploy. You'll just have to spit on their graves.

It’s troubling to think that a housewife posting on a blog has a better understanding of the UCMJ than the professional defense team representing Larkin - oh wait, you don’t. This guy is an idiot who should be in the stockade.

“Hawaiian officials say they have records proving Obama was born there and is therefore eligible to be president. But so-called birthers challenge that.”


You mean that invalid COLB verified by factcheck.org? They are being called out, and the HDOH is running for cover. More at the link below...

Then you’d think that there would be at least one crusading prosecuting attorney in one of the 57 states to begin a fraud investigation in the nearly four years since Obama announced his candidacy for the presidency. To date: zilch.
Obama himself signed a document to get on the ballot in Arizona that required him to state that he is a “natural born citizen of the United States.”

It could be that he’s pleading guilty because he’s guilty.

That is possible.
