Why Is It Always in Georgia?

You must admire the tenacity of these people. U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, set to deploy to Afghanistan, has filed a federal lawsuit requesting an injunction against his deployment. He claims that

Barack Obama was never eligible to be president because he wasn’t born in the United States. . . . Cook’s lawyer, Orly Taitz, who has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in other courts, filed a request last week in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector for his client. In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia — the California-based Taitz asks the court to consider granting his client’s request based upon Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.

I suppose you have to give the guy points for creativity with this one.

    The following is a comment posted on Jay Bookman’s blog post about this situation. I can’t decide if it’s for real or a clever parody. The poster calls him/herself “Redneck Convert”:

    “Well, we might of lost the election but we can make this Obama so miserable that maybe he‚Äôll step down and let a Real American like Sarah take his place. Anyhow, I say let‚Äôs just keep raising cain the way we done since he took office. It can‚Äôt hurt nothing. We‚Äôre out in the wilderness anyhow, so what worse could happen to us? Maybe we can stop paying taxes too because this Obama ain‚Äôt our real President and they got no right to take our money. If we all done it they couldn‚Äôt put us all in jail.

    We need to give the Medal of Honor to this major. I know there’s some people that will claim he’s just a big coward for not wanting to go fight the Towelheads, but they’re just a bunch of crybaby libruls.

    Anyhow, I know there are some people that will claim My President wasn’t really the commander in chief on account of he was elected by the Supreme Court not the people. But they’re wrong. My President had a birth certificate showing he was born right here in the U.S. of A. This major is Right. We don’t need no foreigner that wasn’t even born here in the White House. If he was born here he would be able to show his birth certificate. He ain’t got none. I bet if you went to Africa you would find one for him. Probly in some tribal village. Now I ain’t got a birth certificate on account of I was born at home and you didn’t get one back then but I could get a whole bunch of people together that would say they remember my Mama having me. That’s more than this Obama could do.

    With this fat librul woman about to get on the Supreme Court we need to do all we can to put Conservatives back in power. Seems to me this major took the first step. Too bad they’re liable to court martial him and kick him out.

    Have a good day everybody.”

    In Georgia’s defense, the case was only filed at the district court in Georgia. Maj. Cook is actually a Tampa, Florida resident attached to a reserve unit in Miami (I looked him up).

    And unfortunately, he seems to have scored a small victory as his orders apparently have been rescinded: http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/breaking_news/story/777472.html

    Which adds another cavaet to this story. Apparently he volunteered to go to Afghanistan, requesting orders to go on 8 May. If that’s the case, his reasoning doesn’t seem to hold up.

    But whatever, I think he’s a coward, and a poor example of an officer, Soldier, and American. Him and Lt. Scott Easterling both.

    This is pathetic. And frivolous. I’ve seen and heard of a lot of excuses to get out of a deployment, but this is something special.
