Lakin will have his butt handed to him, as is proper.
Let’s see...in our system of government, does a LTC in the Army get to refuse orders from the President? Nope.
Oh wait, but Obama is an impostor. He only was allowed on the ballot in 50 states, won the popular vote, won the Electoral College, certified by Congress and sworn in by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court after the latter refused a case challenging Obama’s eligibility.
Hmmm...under the Constitution, is the President subject to the fancies of a military officer? I think not.
Has Lakin found it in himself to resign in protest? Nope. He collects the pay, but refuses to serve.
He’s a loser, and folks supporting him should be concentrating on fighting Obama where it counts - in elections. Donate to JD Hayworth, or another candidate of your choice - but $$$ to Lakin is money wasted on an idiot.
So how far do you have your face up Obama's rear end?
Ah, the short memory of the Nuremburg trials... “you must obey all orders” was the NAZI legal defense and was not a defense. Following illegal orders were grounds for the death penalty when the orders were illegal.
So are we to deny our troops the right to challenge orders in an orderly fashion? IF they are illegal orders, they will be punished, but there is no way to tell if they are legal without a challenge procedure.
Don’t think I’d want to serve in a military like that.
You must submit!
“...folks supporting him should be concentrating on fighting Obama where it counts - in elections.”
Except that elections don’t produce change anymore. Time after time we are faced with voting for Tweedldumb or Tweedledumber and time after time we end up dumber than any of them. What is that “old saying” about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? Our elections are no longer decided by the people but by the media which is controlled by Big Business— the same Big Business that has benefitted so well from the Obama administration.
I don’t know if we can get rid of that SOB by making him show his birth certificate but I think it’s certainly worth a try. Come November we’ll surely elect a bunch of Republicans but we’ve done that before and the only difference between them and the Democrats is the speed at which we get led, pushed, shoved down that primrose path to socialism.
Aanother thread yesterday suggested that we need more statesmen and fewer politicians. Right now we’re so overrun with politicians that true statesmen can’t be seen in the crowd. November will just see a different group of politicians in power. They’ll carefully read their lines from the teleprompters (lines written by someone else,) gatiously accept the office they’ve been elected to and blithely ignore their constituents... just like the politicians in there right now!
Elections don’t work! Will the birth certificate issue work? I don’t know. Maybe not, but if we don’t try it we’ll never know and it certainly won’t work if we don’t try.
You are both correct.
You can always hope that injustice continues rule your neighborhood, Mr. Rogers. But sometimes raw power does not is not good enough to overcome justice.
