Let’s hope Obama fails in the November election and the new POTUS pardons this American hero for doing his duty and for his outstanding conduct as an army officer. When compared to a man like Lt. Col. Lakin, Obama is nothing more than a steaming pile of African dog shit.

Army Officer Imprisoned For Challenging Obama
American Hero Lt. Col. Terry Lakin
Lt. Col. Terry Lakin is the author of Officer’s Oath: Why my Vow to Defend the Constitution Demanded that I Sacrifice my Career, a tell all first hand account of his faith and patriotism which ended up resulting in a court-martial, imprisonment and the stripping of all military rank and privileges, including his Army pension. All of this happened because he challenged Barack Obama’s eligibility. In reading this, one has to ask the question why would Barack Obama allow a fine military man like this to go to jail when he could have simply provided the documentation and that soldier would have done his duty.Lakin refused to obey deployment orders, arguing that Obama had not documented his eligibility for the presidency under Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.
“What I do not understand and still don’t,” he writes, “is why Obama did not just come forward with his key documents and be done with it. Instead, he ordered all of his important records to be kept under seal.”
He also pointed out that the documents released by the White House were digital scans and not official documents that would be acceptable as evidence in a court proceeding.
“So tell me: Who has something to hide?” Lakin asks. “It would seem to be President Obama, and sooner or later the voters of this country are going to make it clear that his stonewalling cannot continue.”
WND reports,
Lakin has explained that he was compelled by his officer’s oath to uphold and defend the Constitution when he was ordered to deploy to Afghanistan. Along with questions about the authenticity of the Obama birth documents, some constitutional scholars argue Obama is not a natural born citizen because his father was not an American citizen.
Ironically, Lakin’s deployment orders required him to bring five copies of his birth certificate.
“I had read the orders several times and had glossed over a detail that had previously seemed routine, but this time I felt like Wile E. Coyote getting smacked by an anvil,” he writes. “I needed a birth certificate to deploy, but the president did not need one to order my deployment. This was nuts.”
Lakin’s day of decision was April 12, 2010.
Though he was ready to be deployed, even taking a photo of himself at the Pentagon with his bags, should Obama validate his eligibility, Lakin could not bring himself to follow the orders without validation.
Thus he was court-martialed. He writes of the event of being there in the court-martial as he stared at the portraits of men who have gone before him:
As fate would have it, these were portraits of various Founding Fathers, and I wondered what they would be thinking. I strongly suspected they would be seeking the truth, about Obama’s citizenship status, about his Connecticut Social Security number (there is no reason why Obama would have a Connecticut number), about the multitude of unanswered questions surrounding this man. Here, however, to emphasize the real issues would likely have resulted in a reprimand from the judge and a harsher sentence from the jury. How, I wondered, had our country descended to this level of apathy?
Some will laugh and mock him for trying to take a stand and say he should have just followed orders. Yet many of those same people would berate soldiers of Nazi Germany for obeying orders. One must do what is right without violating their conscience. Martin Luther is one that comes to mind in this regard as he stood at the Diet of Worms upon his belief that faith alone in Jesus Christ alone is what justifies sinners before God and declared:
“I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.”
Jack Cashill writes of his arrival at Ft. Leavenworth’s Joint Regional Correctional Facility:
Now, Lakin was on his way to Fort Leavenworth’s Joint Regional Correctional Facility. Of all his hardship deployments, Bosnia included, this would be the hardest. After he bid a tearful farewell to his wife and three young children, his military minders chained his hands together and attached those chains to a band around his waist. They chained his legs and attached those, too. They then loaded him into a van and drove him to Reagan National.
There, Lakin endured his ultimate humiliation: a seemingly endless perp walk — a shuffle really — through a concourse filled with flags and patriotic bunting and the happy sight of returning soldiers. None of the display had lost its appeal, but Lakin could not overlook the irony of his being chained and bound amidst it all.
The civilian psychologist who did intake assessments at Fort Leavenworth claimed to know why the soft-spoken doctor refused deployment, or at least he thought he did. As he put it, Lakin did not believe Obama to have been born in the United States or to be constitutionally eligible to be president.
Lakin corrected him. As he explained, he did not know where the president was born or whether the president was eligible. The problem was that no one did. As Lakin saw it, the oath that he took as an officer in the U.S. Army — “I, Terrence Lee Lakin, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” — all but dictated that he seek the truth.
Ironically, Lakin was bound and incarcerated all for seeking the truth, remembering his oath, “I, Terrence Lee Lakin, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
May there be others in position of leadership that will count the cost and stand up as Lt. Col. Terry Lakin did.
Lt. Col. Lakin, I salute you!

Lakin was imprisoned for disobeying a legal order to go to Afghanistan, where he as a doctor could have saved the lives of US troops. He did so because of the nutty idea that Obama was not born in Hawaii. But it does not matter why he did it. The fact is that he disobeyed a legal order to go to a combat zone.

Ellen,
Have you served in the military?
Do you even know the difference between a lawful and unlawful order?
I have and I do.
There is no such thing as a “legal order to go to a combat zone”. It’s either a “lawful” or “unlawful” order to serve in a “Theater of Combat Operations”. He was illegally ordered to serve in a Theater of Combat Operations. Disobeying a lawful order carries the same penalty as obeying an unlawful order. He had a paradoxical situation and did exactly as I would have done. And he had already served in other Theaters of Combat Operations. He was highly decorated. But he made the right choice to disobey Obama’s order because Obama, a.k.a. Barry, is not a legal POTUS.
Obama has no more power to order soldiers into harms way then you or I do. Why? Because he’s not a legal POTUS. Period.
It doesn’t matter where Obama was born. He is exempt from being a natural born citizen and lawful POTUS because his father was not an American citizen. Both parents must be US citizens in order for their ilk, like Barry, to be natural born citizens.
Being born here, if he actually was, would only make him a citizen, but he could never be natural born. It’s no secret. Even Barry establishes that his father was not an American citizen in his book, Dreams of My “Fucked-Up Commie Dick-Head African Racist Hate-Whitey” Father.
Read the law and pull your head out of your ass, you fucking liberal imbecile.
Obama, like Rubio and Jindal and everyone born in the USA, is a Natural Born Citizen. The reason is that the meaning of Natural Born Citizen comes from the common law and refers to the place of birth. Repeat, the place of birth, not the parents.
“Under the longstanding English common-law principle of jus soli, persons born within the territory of the sovereign (other than children of enemy aliens or foreign diplomats) are citizens from birth. Thus, those persons born within the United States are “natural born citizens” and eligible to be President. Much less certain, however, is whether children born abroad of United States citizens are “natural born citizens” eligible to serve as President …”—- Edwin Meese, et al, THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION (2005) [Edwin Meese was Ronald Reagan’s attorney general, and the Heritage Foundation is a well-known Conservative organization.]
Even if you thought that Obama was not eligible, you still would have to obey the order. Why? Because the order had nothing to do with Obama. Obama did not give the order. It was an order given by a superior to Lakin, and he had to obey it. His desire to know more about Obama’s place of birth or to have a court confirm that Obama was indeed eligible is not an excuse. He still had to obey the order, and he didn’t—and so he had to suffer the consequences.
And, get this, he suffered the consequences for a stupid reason. That is because Obama’s birth in Hawaii has been proven overwhelmingly, and the meaning of Natural Born Citizen refers to the place of birth, not to the parents. Yes Obama’s father was not a US citizen. But it has absolutely no effect. Birthers tried to get the members of the US Electoral College to change their votes to vote against Obama because of the two-parent theory, but not a single elector changed her or his vote.
I’m no birther. I’m all about facts.
I’ll write it again.

Have you served in the military?
Do you even know the difference between a lawful and unlawful order?
You have cited one source’s interpretation of the law, not the law. So clam the fuck up or go do your homework. The father’s nationality is absolutely imperative in these cases.
Here’s the SCOTUS interpretation:
“Eligibility for POTUS interpreted by SCOTUS:
Although President Obama has a Kenyan father, the fact that his mother was a citizen should legitimize his being born a U.S. citizen. [This goes against how the law reads...more typical liberal spew from the corrupt Supreme Court] After his parents divorced, Obama’s mother remarried. Her second husband was an Indonesian national and, as a small child, Obama was moved to Indonesia with his mother and adopted father. Questions have been raised as to whether his citizenship was actually renounced. It is unlikely his birth certificate would indicate that he was born of some other lineage, however the certificate is sealed and the public does not have access to his records. To preclude future controversies of this type, a more formal vetting process of citizenship qualifications should perhaps be established before the next cycle of elections.”
Notice they refer in a namby-pamby manner only to his citizenship, not his status of being “natural-born” or not? Why? Because he is not and cannot ever be natural-born due to his real father and adopted father both being non US citizens.
If you want to discuss this issue, do your homework first instead of spewing the liberal progressive rhetoric you’ve obviously swallowed from the loopy dolts on the left.
And since you like to swallow, you can suck a protein shake right out of my over-sized meat straw.
By the way, how’s tricks in Brooklyn?
‘Absolute proof’ Obama was an Indonesian citizen (and Muslim) thereby precluding him from being a natural-born US citizen.
