That birther officer

Birthirism has reached some sort of religious fervor. This makes some sense, as nothing new has come up about it in ages. What else is there to do but settle into the ideological foxhole of unthinking faith of Obama's Kenyan-ness?

Thus, Freepers reaction to this Lakin medical officer refusing to deploy till he sees the Long Form betrays more than a hint of religious parallels:

Berlin_Freeper wants to know:

Wouldn't a Christian simply show his bc rather than destroy a mans military career??

Brilliant! This is how I often blackmail Christains - by threatening to kill myself unless they give me fat sacks of cash money.

Lakin needs to be treated as potential martyr.

Migraine will take obscure Old Testament References for 800, Alex:

Way to take a stand, Colonel! I am so proud of you. Patrick Henry would be extremely proud of you. Queen Esther would be extremely proud of you. Perhaps you were born into this regime for such a time as this. Blessings, sir!

Conservative Vermont Vet knows the rules, and Gates' ass-related proclivities:

The military can NOT court martial him without the benefit of "discovery" or the ability to call any witness which can exonerate him--not that they won't try, considering that Gates is a 1st class, sycophant, Dear Leader, butt boy!!!

kiltie65 has an awful conspiracy theory:

The first swearing in, I have begun to believe, was deliberately bungled. We never SAW the second swearing in...just some clips after the fact. What are we to think? Has he ever been sworn in? Was he sworn in, but on the Quran? Was special langugage used if he was sworn in, so neither the Justice or Obummer can be brought up on charges later if fraud is exposed? More questions...no answers.

DarthVader: sigh.

Sounds like the seeds of civil war.

Jeez. Everything means civil war these times. "Obama farted? Smells like civil war!"
