The Birther Army doctor who is reportedly facing a court martial for refusing orders is getting crucial assistance from an ex-congressional staffer and Bush Administration vet with a colorful past as well as from a charitable foundation that was founded in 2003 by a Republican senator, originally to aid the families of slain soldiers.

When Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin announced in a YouTube video late last month that he would refuse to deploy to Afghanistan until President Obama produced a birth certificate, the news spread thanks to a PR operation by a virtually unknown group called the American Patriot Foundation.

The Patriot Foundation created a flashy Web site to promote Lakin's story, www.safeguardourconstitution.com, started a legal defense fund, and posted documents from Lakin's Birther quest like a letter to Obama asking the president to "assure the American people that you are indeed Constitutionally eligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief." A spokeswoman, Margaret Hemenway, was on hand to respond to media inquires.

It turns out that Hemenway is a former longtime GOP Hill staffer with a colorful past that includes an episode in which she filed a complaint because her daughter's 1st grade teacher announced she was marrying a woman. ("Since homosexual activists cannot reproduce their own children, recruitment to their cause ... is essential to the political agenda of promoting homosexuality and 'gay' marriage," Hemenway reportedly wrote at the time.)

I sent in my comment. Sentence one: "I'm a veteran and I think Colonel Lakin belongs in jail."

military refuses a direct order from his superiors and still has any brain matter left! I assume he's a Pub supporter, but apparently doesn't even trust his own party! If there was any possible truth to this birther BS, all the Pubs would have been on that proof during the campaign like flies on S...! Hell, I saw the damn BC online years ago. Wwhat's wronng with this guy?

give him a dishonorable discharge and 10 years in Leavenworth.

and neither will his supporters.

Thanks for the opportunity.

believe the birther nonsense, he probably shouldn't be practicing medicine and would be better off in the brig (or whatever you call Army prison). What a waste of a good education.
