I believe Obama is a communist traitor who should not have been elected. But, unfortunately, he was. And he was sworn in and is now the lawful president and commander-in-chief. Those are the indisputable facts in the matter. Whether he’s eligible or not not is no longer the issue. How to impeach or defeat him is now the question. Sorry, but individual military officers do not have the option of not following his orders.
By the way, if you are correct and Lakin is correct and Obanma’s orders are unlawful, should all of our military officers simply refuse to obey his orders? Or would that be RIDICULOUS?
I would say that if Obama is ineligible then everything he has done as president is unconstitutional, most of it is anyway even if he is eligible.
It is the swore duty of our officer corps to protect the Constitution first and foremost and by any means necessary, for instance The Marine Commandant General Smedley D.Butler averted a Fascist coup d’etat in 1932 by basically saying whatever army you raise he would raise one bigger and defeat it after the Fascists offered him the command of their army.
The Coup d’etat’s leaders flinched and hid their aborted attempt while their cohorts in Congress branded a Man who was received the Medal of Honor twice as some sort of a lunatic for protecting The Constitution.
Is it ridiculous to believe that our officers would and should protect our constitution no matter what might happen to them because they are honor bound to do so?
With all due respect Jim...this is much bigger than Barry. Much bigger than party politics. Much bigger, longer term.
If we ignore his born with foreign citizenship, it sets a precedent.
It says that anyone born with foreign citizenship (& known by the public at large), even IF we assume they were born in the U.S., can be eligible. This would include (but not limited to) anchor babies.
We, and especially those in the military, can not afford to have someone born with foreign allegiance be considered POTUS and thus CinC eligible. It's about upholding the intent of the framers with that requirement and national security (among other things).
Even after he looses, or doesn't run in 2012, we can not afford his precedent to be set/remain. We must not let the state run media, those in academia, or the socialist/marxist's in our midst set this precedent. It has shades of helping to dissolve our sovereignty.
