“Are we a banana republic? “

Apparently you want to make us one, where the military decides who is President...and a Lt Col in the military, at that!

If Aunt Sadie ran for President in 50 states, was allowed on the ballot in all 50, won the vote, was certified by Congress - then yes, Aunt Sadie could order him to deploy!

It isn’t the role of the military to decide who can run or be elected. There are officials in all 50 states who are responsible, and the voters, and the Electoral College, and Congress - and they have ALL come down on the side of Obama being eligible.

So, since the Reichstag sanctioned Hitler, and all of Hitler's orders had to be followed, why did we put some of those Nazi's to death for following them?

As long as the color of truth is present, all orders are therefore unchallengeable, if they come from higher authority, right?

Besides, it is not the miliitary deciding this issue, it is the courts. So, if Bush and Cheney told the troops to torture by, say, pounding bamboo shoots under the fingernails of the prisoners, it would be a legal order because they were duly elected?

Now Obama can order anything and it is legal because the election was deemed to be valid?

Wow. We better hope for nothing but saints in the regal chair.

We are a nation of laws, the chief of which is the Constitution. However, we have placed statutory law above constitutional law, but never loading anyone to challenge such a simple concept. In fact, if we do, we will be jailed.

And the entire basis of his campaign in all 50 states centers on ONE document, the certification, under oath (i.e. notarized), by Nancy Pelosi, that he was qualifed to run. He has NOT released a birth certificate.

No!!! They all assumed that Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party apparachniks vetted Obama's POTUS qualifications, and that assumotion has made an "ass" out of them all.

Now we find out that she and they knew that he was not Constitutionally-qualified and submitted affidavits concealing that fact and protecting themselves from perjury. Nowhere in those affidavits will you find them stating that Obama is a "natural born citizen" and thus qualified under the Consitution for the office he seeks.

Just because someone received the most electoral votes doesn't give him the right to office. The same Constitution that governs that election also governs the qualifications of those seeking elective office. They have to meet those qualifications and also be elected. Obama has not and you know it.

Try reading that Constitution that you took an oath to support and defend.

Even if she was only 30? Or had lived in the US for only 10 years?
