A LETTER TO GLENN BECK - A MUST READ

Dear Glenn,
30 July 2009

I will get right to the point. Either out of ignorance or with intent your recent comments on your television program are nothing less than a slap right across the face of each and every Soldier that serves and has ever served this great Country. How could you do this to us? You contend that you are supportive of the military and yet when it comes to an issue vitally important to us you scoffed, demeaned and ridiculed those of us who serve and are fighting to defend the Constitution. You placed us right along side Whoopi Goldberg who, to my knowledge, never served in the military a day in her life. You have insulted our intellect and integrity.

Until now I had been a big supporter of you. Now I am left to question your very motives. Has money become your new God or was it simply a mistake on your part? Whatever the case is, I need and deserve an explanation and an apology for your actions.

There is little more we military ask of our Country in return for our service other than to be respected and given the benefits we earn in peace and on the field of battle. Of paramount importance to me and most every American soldier is that we fulfill our duty with honor and that we are given lawful orders and not left to question or have cause for reservation. As we take our oath without reservation we should not be given reservation by those appointed above us. If we are to be sent into harms way, there should be no doubt whatsoever, we are being sent by someone who has the moral AND the legal authority to do this.

This is an indisputable fact. The ONLY evidence that Barak Hussein Obama himself has been willing to produce to assure us he has that authority is an altered ( sanitized serial number ) COLB posted on HIS web site “fight the smears”. That is it and NOTHING more. This is absolutely absurd. I refuse to accept any .com outfit as the proper authority to certify the authenticity or legal substance of this document and be involved in the vetting process of a President as many in Congress have done; derelict cowards! Obama has hired teams of attorneys to prevent releasing the long form vault copy of his birth certificate so that what he presented can be substantiated as a valid extract of information from the original as well as other vital documents to prove he is even a US citizen. If you doubt this, ask anyone who claims to have seen his birth; what is the doctors name on the certificate? As a Physician, I know what information is on a birth certificate and so should you. If they can not tell you the name of the Doctors they have not seen it.

There are other issues as well; specifically Obama’s father who was Kenyan and was NEVER a US citizen. To be considered in full compliance of the Natural Born Citizen clause I contend you must have BOTH parents US citizens and be born in the US. The founders recognized that the power of the President over the military was not to be taken lightly.

They wanted to insure, as best they could, the person who held that office would have an undivided loyalty to the Union and not compromise their hard won liberty by any device. The BEST that they could do was to require that the President be born in the United States but more importantly be raised by parents (pleural) who themselves did not have divided loyalty and thus would have to be US citizens. Given the paternal nature of society at the time this is especially true with regard to the father. Nevertheless, this issue if need be should be addressed by the Supreme Court which they have failed to do and no court to date has heard this case on the merits.

Let me be clear, as a military officer I have a legitimate reason to
question ANY order if there is a good faith reason to doubt it, even from the President, as my officer oath is to the Constitution, not him.

Based on the information I have I am justified in my right to question and I am being denied the answer. Have you yourself not seen enough to doubt anything Obama has said? Why do you believe him about this? Why do you believe anyone who attacks us for even asking? Stop and think then listen to your instincts. There is something he is hiding that is vitally important and we have a right to know what that is as it potentially has bearing on the legality of the orders he gives us.

We are not a bunch of “tin foil hat birther conspiracy theorists”. We are wise enough to know that before you conjecture regarding a “conspiracy” you must first establish if there has been a crime and only then ask if it is reasonable multiple people are complicit. It is those who discredit us, as YOU have, that resort to the postulation of a “conspiracy theory” to dismiss our reasonable concerns before the documentary evidence is examined; a typical Saul Alinsky tactic which you now have used against us! You have seen it used over and over so you should recognize it. We are NOT postulating any conspiracy theory, we want to see the documents and THEN decide if there is a problem and who would or should have reasonably known.

You are not alone. Even Gov. Mike Huckabee went so far as to “postulate a theory” that Hillary would have been “all over it” if it were true, discrediting us rather than take a stand and demand Barak Obama release the evidentiary documents to put this to rest. I recognize that it is much easier for others to postulate a “theory” why a breech of our Constitution “could not possibly have happened” then cower and hide from a serious effort to discover the truth and take a stand. We have a special term for this in the military and let me just say it is not endearing. Please pass this along to your Colleague and Ann Coulter, Bill O Reilly too if you see them; shame on all of you. I gave all of you more credit than that, of all people you should recognize the tactics of the radical left.

You ask America to stand up for the Constitution and when those of us who risk our reputations and our fortunes do so, you ridicule us. Take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself; have I failed to give due consideration and respect to the American soldier by my actions? Have I contributed to a mass effort by the Radical Elements in our country to bring discredit upon them and upon the Constitution they fight and die to preserve?

If the answer is yes then I challenge you and your colleagues to stand with us and demand that Barak Obama release all the documents he currently has sealed and begin to put this issue to rest
and do not cease in your efforts until we have an answer.
