President Obama speaking after releasing another flimsy imitation of a birth certificate in 2011
The examples of disregard for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the authority of the legislative and judicial branches of the federal government from Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) and his administration are staggering in number, and one example of his lawlessness has been on display since before the election. I understand that the fix is entirely in on Obama’s lack of proof of his eligibility to hold the office of President. Before the election, there were people demanding that he prove he is a natural-born citizen. He never has, and I know he never will.
The despicable “mainstream” media are fully on Obama’s side and have waged a steady, vicious campaign to falsely portray those of us who question Obama’s eligibility as being stupid or crazy. They also falsely paint this as a “where he was born issue,” and they claim that those of us who question Obama’s eligibility believe he was not born in the United States. Although we do not know where he was born, that is not the point. Obama himself lays out the main, incriminating detail when he declares that his father was a foreigner. Our Founders understood, and the Supreme Court noted in Minor v. Happersett, that the definition of a natural-born citizen is a person born in the country of two citizen parents of that country. That clearly disqualifies Obama.
Last week, those of us who care were strung along by the false hope that a judge and the Secretary of State in Georgia would do the right thing and find Obama ineligible to be on the ballot in Georgia. After Obama and his lawyers ignored a subpoena to appear and prove his eligibility (a clear-cut case of contempt of court), and after lawyers in the hearings entered evidence into the court record indicating that Obama is not eligible to be President, the judge nevertheless caved in to the will of the Obama machine and ruled him eligible to be on the Georgia ballot.
It is plain to see that the powers behind Obama—who is likely nothing more than a puppet of the forces of evil that are destroying America—have the ability to prevent anyone from succeeding in ripping the mask off this fraud in our White House. So be it. The rule of law and the Constitution are murdered in America under this current regime. OK, I get it.
We are left with outrage upon outrage against the Constitution and the American people, and one person in particular has received another unjust blow for daring to stand for the Constitution. You will recall the gut-wrenching ordeal of Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Terry Lakin, a highly decorated Army doctor and flight surgeon, who, after repeatedly attempting to no avail to verify that Barack Obama is actually a legal Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces, decided to invite his own court-martial, as he put it, and refused orders to deploy for a second time to Afghanistan.
The Obama machine was not about to allow discovery of his lack of eligibility, even though it is quite evident that he is not eligible if his father is who he claims he is. Dr. Lakin was crushed like a bug under a truck tire in the sham of a court-martial where he was not even allowed to present a defense or have discovery, and he spent 6 months incarcerated at Fort Leavenworth. He received a dishonorable discharge, loss of rank, pension and pay. Many people criticized Dr. Lakin’s decision to go that ill-fated route, but I respected his desire to uphold his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. He is an honorable man.
Dr. Lakin served his time and is back in the civilian world, and news broke this week that back in October Dr. Lakin applied in Kansas for a medical license to practice with his brother, Dr. Greg Lakin, in his brother’s Wichita clinic, but the medical board, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (KSBHA), denied Dr. Lakin the license; however, the denial had nothing to do with Dr. Lakin’s medical performance.
As Dana Wright of KCTV in Kansas City reported,
“A Kansas board that denied a licensed doctor of osteopathic medicine a license was primarily concerned about the man’s political views.
The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts is a 15-member panel appointed by the governor and decides the fate of doctors in Kansas.
Terrence Lee Lakin rose to the ranks of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army. He served on the front lines in Afghanistan and the war zone in Bosnia as well as a medical mission to Honduras. He saved lives around the world and received a Bronze Star for his service.
‘I like helping people,’ said Lakin. ‘And I’ve been, since college wanting to be in [the] medical field and help others.’
… The board repeatedly refused comment on their decision, but a transcript of Lakin’s shows board members didn’t concern themselves with Lakin’s 18-year spotless medical record.
‘They hammered me for my political views,’ said Lakin.”
The KCTV story mistakenly claims that Dr. Lakin does not believe Obama was born in the United States. Dr. Lakin did not say that. He simply has doubts and questions about Obama’s eligibility to be President, and he wanted his questions answered. Of course, they never were.
Now, we have this blatantly political attack on Dr. Lakin, who is already licensed to practice medicine in two other states. The conduct of the KSBHA was such that it could have been stacked with Obama operatives, and it may well be, for all I know. That board has a history of corruption, even though the current Governor Sam Brownback is said to be cleaning house.
Before her new position as Obama’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, as Governor of Kansas, was responsible for appointing members to that medical board. In fact, she was exposed for handing out KSBHA appointments in exchange for campaign contributions. She also loaded the board with pro-aborts and was good buddies with campaign contributor, George “Tiller the Killer,” the late, infamous partial-birth abortionist.
In writing for WND about the ill-treatment of Dr. Lakin by the KSBHA, Jack Minor reported,
“Michael Beezley asked why Lakin had no problem deploying in 2004, but had issues ‘going over there after President Obama was elected, is that the big kick?’
Another doctor, Ronald Whitmer also questioned Lakin’s eligibility views, asking if he believed Obama was a U.S. citizen. When Lakin attempted to answer, Whitmer interrupted, asking what it would take to convince him that Obama is a U.S. citizen.
When Lakin pointed out the questions had nothing to do with his medical qualifications, Whitmer fired back, asking if the president had a valid birth certificate.”
This is simply despicable. Now, before you say the medical board was simply doing the right thing because of Dr. Lakin’s court martial conviction, I would point you to another part of the KCTV story,
“Just as Lakin’s medical record didn’t matter to the board, another doctor’s medical record also didn’t matter to the panel.
KCTV5′s investigation reveals that in 2008, the KSBHA board approved the license of another doctor with a history of medical mistakes and malpractice payouts. One patient died after a drill mishap in the operating room. A surgical error caused repeated electrical shocks to a second patient. And a third patient wasn’t even that doctor’s patient. The physician didn’t notice, ended up performing brain surgery on the wrong man and caused permanent damage.
The board refused our repeated requests for an interview about the decisions it makes and the seeming disparity of these two cases. A renowned University of Pennsylvania medical ethicist, Art Caplan, agreed to weigh in on the situation.
‘Political beliefs, I think, should play no role,’ said Caplan. ‘Is it going to be a popularity contest that decides what political views you can have as a doctor? Or is it going to be the majority views that decides what political views you can have? Obviously, again – I don’t think this is relevant to who practices well.’
Lakin agrees with Caplan. ‘I knew medical boards had a bad reputation. I had hoped this issue would have nothing to do with my practice.’
Lakin’s only recourse now is a judicial appeal, but he’s uncertain that he can afford the costs.”
So, it would seem Dr. Lakin is still being made an example of for daring to question the dictator-in-chief. I have no doubt the members of this board are on Obama’s side and that this sham of a license hearing had everything to do with continuing punishment of Dr. Lakin for crossing Obama.
From the WND article,
“Lakin told WND that he had never been asked about his political views at a medical board hearing until now.
‘I went in there expecting them to talk about my military history, however I thought we would focus on medical judgment and medical practice issues and not on political issues,’ Lakin said. ‘It seemed as if there was an agenda against me from the get go.’”
There most certainly is an agenda against Dr. Lakin and against every other American who stands in opposition to this lawless administration. The Obama regime’s tentacles of influence stretch all across the country and infect the media, courts, schools, local governments and other institutions wherein fellow-travelers reside.
The desperate need to get Obama, his administration and the radical congressional Democrats out of office could not be more extreme. This November’s election is literally “do or die” for America, and that is not hyperbole. If Obama gets “reelected” by hook and crook, then our remaining freedoms are in grave danger. Don’t doubt it.

I love Dennis Miller. He isn't as conservative as I'd like, but we see eye to eye on most of the important stuff. His appearance on Bill O'Reilly's show was pretty good, until he got to the discussion of the nutty idea of gender-neutral bathrooms, then it became hilarious. I normally try to steer clear of scatological humor, but if we're going to go down this asinine path as a society (as it seems the homosexual activists and their "useful idiots" seem intent on taking us), then there are some serious (though funny at times) issues we really need to consider.
The United States of America can't do much worse than Obama. That said, whether you vote Democrat or Republican, you are voting for politics as usual. What we've been getting for a long, long time is lip service, empty words, just plain lies; thinking we can save the whole world, spending irresponsibly beyond our means; no accountability to ethics, the law or the Constitution; government intrusion into every aspect of our private lives… politics as usual. Politics as usual will be the death of America.
The wind energy industry has been having a hard time. The taxpayer funding that has kept it alive for the last twenty years is coming to an end, and those promoting the industry are panicking. Despite twenty years of taxpayer funding, says the Financial Times, “Most of these technologies are unable to stand on their own commercially, particularly in competition with a resurgent natural gas industry that has created a supply glut and driven prices to 10-year lows.” The WSJ opines: “the tax subsidy has sustained the industry on a scale that wouldn’t have been possible if they had to follow the same rules as everyone else.”
What better way to control citizens of a country than to control the water supply? What better way to control the countries of the world than to control the seas? We have two stories in our face this week that are seemingly unrelated, yet at the same time, they both represent the anti-American, anti-freedom, dictatorial advancement of tyranny. A nation’s water supply is one thing, and the seas and oceans of the world are another.
While we can't take back how things played out with the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman encounter or anything that led up to those final moments of life-death changing events, we do have a responsibility of calling the media, our president, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Black Panthers and a few others to account for their irresponsible responses, reporting and race baiting behavior thereafter. Turns out that, Zimmerman, the "white Hispanic", is not only nearly as Black in heritage as our president, if not completely so -- he was raised under the influence of a half-black grandmother, rather than, a white grandma as Obama was.
