Weasel of the Week: Daryn Moran

After serving 9 years in the US Air Force, Daryn Moran was discharged earlier this week when he refused to report for duty. His excuse? He doesn't believe the validity of the President's birth certificate.

Yes, Moran has fallen in with the dreaded "birthers", the conspiracy nuts who just won't go away. Moran, and for that matter, his father, buys into the belief that President Obama was not born in this country, despite documentation that proves otherwise. He has also taken the even bolder step of calling for the arrest of the President. Oh, man! This guy is bucking for a Section 8 discharge, if you ask me, but if his demand for the President's arrest doesn't qualify as a treasonous statement, what does?

Making matters worse, Howard Moran, Daryn's father, is proud of his son for standing up for what he believes in. I hate to be the one to break it to you, Mr. Moran, but your son is standing up for a bunch of lies & fibs from a bunch of get-a-life losers who just don't get it. Daryn Moran says he's getting an honorable discharge. I don't think so. The Air Force hasn't stated exactly, only to say that Moran has been discharged, period. After serving his country for nearly a decade, Daryn Moran is letting his feelings be known about our Commander-In-Chief, which happens to be his boss, at the wrong time. If he really felt that President Obama wasn't legitimately an American citizen from birth, as the birther morons insist, defiant as ever, why didn't he ask for a discharge after Obama was elected in '08?

I've heard of falling in with the wrong crowd, but this gets the grand prize. In Moran's case, the grand prize is a set of weasel ears.
