The Army will court martial a lieutenant colonel who refuses to deploy to Afghanistan, because he won't accept orders from President Barack Obama, whom he considers unqualified to be commander-in-chief, military officials said last week.
Army doctor and Lt. Col. Terry Lakin believes President Obama does not meet the constitutional requirements to be president because he wasn't born in the United States, NBC News reported. Thus, he considers orders from President Obama to be "illegal."
Lakin refused to report to Fort Campbell, Ky., for deployment and instead showed up at the Pentagon, where he was told that he would face a court martial. His Pentagon building pass and government laptop computer were seized.
The 18-year Army veteran is under investigation for failure to report for deployment and for displaying conduct unbecoming an officer, the Associate Press reported.
Larkin is a "birther," a person who believes Obama is not native-born, and therefore is ineligible to be president. Hawaii officials have repeatedly issued statements that Obama was born in the state, and that the Health Department holds a copy of his original birth certificate. A copy of the document has been made available on the Internet.
I offer this little nugget of wisdom to all the birthers: He's black, he's president, get used to it.

Anthony Hopkins was a God-fearing Christian. As he traveled throughout the rural South, preaching the word of the Lord, he would always have his Bible in tow. Folks who would gather to hear him preach stood in awe. Many even referred to him as a "prophet." This preacher did more than spread the Holy word, though. Little did Hopkins' followers know that he was a possible murderer, rapist and child molester.

I so agree with you BIGDEE. That stupid comment "HOW" made show just how ignorant people are. "Like themselves." Why don't the republicans and all the other racists just do ahead and get it off their chest. You hate and do not like the man because he's black. There is no other reason or issue there would be to justify your action. Birth Certificates or easily accessable. Save all the Americans the trouble and pull off the white sheets and say you hate other race and especially negros.Just remember you came from the Negros through your ancestors.

For Army doctor Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, this will be simple:
He will face a court martial for refusal to obey a direct order from his superiors. He will be dismissed from the Army, stripped of his rank & privldges, all pay and retirement benefits taken away and will he be given a dishonorable discharge and years of jail time at Fort Levenworth, Kansas.
Plus he will not be missed by the Army at all. His replacement has already been notified.
He wasn't the first to go under these circumstances and he won't be the last and the Army will just carry on as usual.
This guy is just a mark and not a threat to anyone.

To all the ignorant peoople in the USA, the Republicans who would rather see our country fail,than own up to the fact that Obama has accomplished amazing things that they could not, and to all the bigots in low and high places stop hateing and learn that you will never get rid of Gods anointed. As long as right over rules wrong our country is in good hands.

This guy might not be as wacko as we make him out to be. I've never bothered to read the US Constitution. My excuse? I didn't think much of it covered me. But if the W boy is right about the WHITE in the Constitution then us black folk who need to hit the streets and not come home until the WHITE is expunged from our constitution.
