The Leftist Bullying of Honduras

No one should expect much from Obama. He is a gutless wonder!

I’m sure Obama loves the idea of a referendum to vote a leader president for life! His political wetdream.

Honduras is the home of the MS13 that is now causing so much trouble in the US and Mexico. They are a vicious drug gang. Honduras finally managed to kick them out and they went to Guatamala, then Mexico, then crossed into the US.

Larry,

The Obama Admin. is a ‘partner’ of the ‘current’ Honduran military coup.

There is nothing like crossing a roadside checkpoint… having one teenager point an AK-47 in your general direction you while other similarly armed teenagers pilfer through your stuff… all the while another sits behind sandbags with a chain gun just in case. People better darn well wake up and appreciate the freedom that we have had up to now.

Funny, isn’t it, how someone so gutless can be so full of sh-t?!

If that were true, why hasn’t the Obama syndicate proudly advertised their role in the constitutionally mandated corrective measures that have prevented a potential communist backed dictator like Zelaya from siezing control? The answer is that Obama is sympathetic to Zelaya, not the “coup”.

Obama doesn’t want to openly reveal his basic hard core Marxist mindset until he has created an adequate firewall between his administration and our Constitution, sort of like Zelaya attempted, but failed, to do in Honduras.

Mr. Johnson, do you think the Hondurans are cleaning house of its collection of Cuban and Venezuelan intel folks from running ops?

If Chavez is any example, fomenting trouble in Honduras will not abate until his circus leaves town.

I am dissapointed that BO is silent on the matter in words and action.

How does this fit in with the Colombian state of affairs? President Alvaro Uribe Velez must be looking at what happened in Honduras and our response with circumspect view and having second thoughts.

Experienced that on multiple occasions only to ask the same question every time while sitting thru the process. “Why the f#ck do I keep coming here” followed with the statement upon leaving the checkpoint “I can’t f#cking wait to get back home(USA). Almost forgot :minus some cigarettes, socks, and adult mags. Luckily I brought those in anticipation.

Add Venezuela to the AXIS of EVIL…

Obama keeps denying events are occurring……..

I remember distinctly… going into a Dairy Queen once in Texas and ordering a steak finger basket with the dipping gravy… it was so much the best thing I had to eat in the previous two months… I got another one and ate both of them.

Meant to say once back in as in returning to Texas from one of those “trips”.

Bolivarian Revolution

You obviously aren’t carrying enough bribe money. In central America the border guards, customs officials, and checkpoint guys are always very gracious when taking greenbacks from Gringos. They don’t take Visa/Master or American express however.

I don’t think he’s going to wake up to these realities anytime soon. After all, he’s admired and supported them from afar and vs/vs – it would be rude to verbally smack his old buddies.

What are you talking about??

It was NOT a “coup”, unless you believe that the Honduran Supreme court, the Legislative body, (which is the only body with the ability to amend the Constitution), and the Honduran military were going sit on their collective asses, while Zelaya and his circus critters made mincemeat of that country’s Constitution.

BO? He is more likely to take his good buddy’s Ayers lead.

I have similar memories of a KFC in Eagle Pass, Texas after having spent 7 months in Guatemala and southern Mexico. Nothing before or after has tasted soooo wonderful as a drumstick of origional recipe.

Unfortunately we dont seem to just be idly standing by. Our administration seems to have decided to take a stand on this one, and side with the wrong team. Its baffling, especially in light of the huge waffle sandwich they just served up on Iran.

Unfortunately it looks like both Barack and HIllary are content to do nothing.

I think Hillary is out of the loop as well as being cautious regarding Obama policies.

Obama did do something and immediately. He immediatey condemned the actions of the Honduran military and legislature – a move that placed him the same camp as Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

. . . there is no doubt that Barack Obama is well on his way to surpassing the record of incompetence established by Jimmy Carter.

I think he already has or the man has an agenda that is not in the best interests of the United States. I would not easily dismiss the latter.

Administration: Spammed through the heart again, should I dial 911?

cut it out-LOL

Larry:
Our country seems to be undergoing a schizophrenic break.
On the one hand we read information at sites like yours and get a picture of an shallow, oblivious marionette being cozened by every tinpot dictator on earth. Lurching from the inept to the inchoate.
On the other, we read unending paeans of praise to the breathtakingly nimble, masterfully clever symbol of American resurgence who is skillfully re-ordering the world even as we speak.
The important question now is: how do we break through the corporate propaganda stranglehold and get this information widely spread?

I can not for the life of me figure this dude out. I’m starting to think he’s doing this stuff on purpose and I really don’t want to think that. This is bad. I don’t believe true idiots/incompetents would do some of the stuff he’s doing, because at some point someone would have told them to stop. Heck at some point even they would realize that it ain’t workin’.

Silent on Iran. I’ll be a little pissed, but fine. This Honduras situation is very clear cut, and I see before my eyes the media and government trying to rewrite our very reality as I’m watching. And they do so brazenly. I honestly think they believe Americans are that stupid. Their hubris knows no bounds.

Something ain’t right.

That was good.

Drudge has the picture of Obama shaking Medvedev’s hand. And it’s funny because it reminds of how Brown and the others would enthusiastically greet Obama, and he would look pissed. Except this time, it’s reversed.

Larry:

Thank you for this great post. I spent the weekend (well, at least part of the weekend) wondering whether I was alone in thinking that we (speaking of the “official” U.S. position) were backing the wrong horse, and I’m gratified to see that I’m not as alone as I had thought. Zelaya has obviously taken more than stage directions from Hugo Chavez, and, while a coup is probably not the best way to deal with a political situation, it may have been the least of the bad options available to the Honduran opposition and military. Zelaya ignored the legislature and the courts, and he may have believed thaty he could do so without repercussions, and that the OAS, the UN, and Chavez would ride to his rescue. Maybe the next time, he will try a helicopter, and he won’t need a runway, and maybe next time, his plane or helicopter might attract a missile or two for invading Honduran airspace.

I think you need to come to the realization that Hillary is working for BO and will do his bidding. There is no reason to defend her actions. If she disagrees with BO so much then why does she not resign. You can not excuse her actions like she was some type of a puppet who has no free will.

Had to drive way out of my way home one night as city cops blocked main streets when they arrested several MS13 members trying to move in and set up business.

Of course when I learned the reason for my detour, I was not unhappy anymore.

John, I understand your point but I think hokma brings up a good discussion on which Larry might be able to shed some good opinion. Hillary, and her husband, have always struck me as skilled political animals.

If Hillary has a low profile in all this, what does it mean? Is it an indication of her reservations about the direction, but she wants to let the Obama faction of the foreign policy apparatus have enough rope to hang themselves? Does she actually support the active involvement with Zalaya but wants to see how it plays out in the public without her neck on the line?

Is the Honduras issue enough to cause a bit of a cancer within the foreign policy apparatus between the Clinton and Obama factions, through which Hillary and some others can take the high road and bow out on principle in the coming months, thus undercutting the foreign policy credibility of Obama? Or, if this turns into a wholesale disaster, is this the opportunity Obama has been waiting/planning for in order to ruin Hillary politically?

I don’t have any answers to any of this. The whole thing just stinks to high heaven, and I can’t, for the life of me, wrap my brain around why we are inserting ourselves neck deep into this internal Honduran issue the way we are.

I, too, am torn. Remember how proud you felt when U.S. Senator Judd Gregg withdrew his nomination as Secretary of Commerce on learning BO would steal the census from the auspices of that office and bring it under WH control (using ACORN)?

Yes, and see how he is trying to ingratiate himself with Russia. Pathetic.

This is why Obama’s policies work.

Week-by-week, world event-by-world event, the public humiliation of Hillary Clinton is taking place right before our eyes. Actually, not before our eyes. Hillary has gone missing.

There was a time when United States Secretaries of State were front and center in foreign policy making and implementation. Our first Secretary of State was Thomas Jefferson, and other historical luminaries included John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, William Jennings Bryant, and George C. Marshall.

In more modern times, names such as Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, James Baker, Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, and Condolezza Rice loom large in our psyche and history.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? Who? Possibly the most marginalized Secretary of State in modern times.

Barack Obama has not permitted Hillary to participate in a central manner in any of the major diplomatic events, including the upcoming Moscow summit from which Hillary will be notably absent. Obama doesn’t act alone in foreign affairs, but he certainly doesn’t act through Hillary.

If the federal government were, say, the City of Chicago, Hillary’s status would rate about as high as the Director of the Department of Tourism. Sometimes seen, occasionally heard, but almost never consulted. Sure, Hillary is nice enough, but, being nice enough only gets you so far.

It didn’t always appear that it would turn out this way. When Hillary was appointed, with great fanfare, it seemed that she would take a leading role. But the fox was out-foxed.

The treatment of Hillary Clinton by Obama to date amounts to a slow drain of Hillary’s political persona. The fearsome tiger now is a pussycat. She missed the Iran crisis because of a broken elbow. Now admittedly, I’ve never broken my elbow, so maybe I am misinformed. But there doesn’t appear to be a reason why Hillary couldn’t have talked on the phone with foreign ministers, and done all the other things a Secretary of State does.

If Hillary’s loss in the primaries was a body blow, being Secretary of State is like being bled by leeches. Hillary seems to know her political persona is being bled dry, but she feels no physical pain.

And Hillary clearly is not having fun. Has anyone seen Hillary laugh in the last five months? Oh, how I long for that cackle. Hillary can’t even bring herself to fake it anymore.

Want a good measure of how bad it is for Hillary? Click on the screen shot (above right) from a Google News search for “Hillary Clinton” taken on July 5, 2009, covering the prior month. Nothing of substance, although I did learn that Chelsea is getting married (Congrats! That should keep Mom busy) and Bill is appearing at a fundraiser.

Sarah Palin gets more hits than Hillary even though the search was for “Hillary Clinton.”

I wonder how the Hillary supporters at PUMA and the folks at Hillary’s Village feel, watching Hillary wither on Obama’s vine.

Send this site and others like it to every email contact you have. Ask them to send them on. Many people do not know that there is a world of citizen journalists willing and able to see through the noxious fumes given off by the WH and MSM.

Soon we can circle the globe with the truth.

HILLARY SET TO MEET OUSTED HONDURAN PRESIDENT IN D.C. THIS WEEK…
WASHINGTON (AP) – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to meet with deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya this week as the Obama administration weighs responses to his ouster.

I read this earlier and it’ll be interesting and telling to see what statement she makes after their meeting.

Maybe it isn’t significant but is anyone else bothered by the fact that Zelaya’s been in the US for a week? His [failed] attempt to return to Honduras was in a plane provided by Chavez and it departed from Washington DC. I realize he was ostensibly here to attend an OAS gathering but it’s my hope our country isn’t going to provide continued haven for this guy.

LOL smarta$$

Actually they’re originally from El Salvador but are now just about everywhere.

Excellent post. Thank you.

Spoken like the true Republican Central American CIA cold warrior that you once were.

I’m caught in the spam filter again, please free me….on BOTH Larry’s posts.

bo wants to please the leftist in and out of this country. simple and sad really!

coup? j? really? naw, doing an attempted end run around the consitution there is an attempted coup. i appluad the people there that kicked this thug out.

craig on faux the other night was a guy who had written a book about the current young voters and non voters also. my apology to some of our young very astute posters here by the way as i post some of his comments. his take was that the young have an american idol mentality where they simply decide for whom to vote based stricly on emotion and “feelings”. i asking in my mind “what about critical thinking skills?” that was never mentioned. scary huh?

up, give it a rest. and look in a mirror and apply hypocrite and judgemental obit to you.

When you are trying to suck up to Chavez and Castro and join them as a leftist revolutionary brother, it doesn’t do well to criticize a fellow leftist revolutionary brother (i.e., Zelaya). Besides, if the Hondo government overthrow works our for the Z-man, maybe Rhambo and Axe will bring it here up north. Visionaries all there on the left. We could have Obama for life, just like Fidel. Wouldn’t that be something?
Or would our military take action like the Hondos to throw the pretender out?

I’m trying to remember… you guys support Hilary and the Democracts, right? or left?

But you saw Obama’s thugs take over and got a taste of Chicago thuggery, Ayers thuggery, ACORN thuggery, Soros thuggery and Union thuggery after they brought your candidate down. So you woke up.

Finally, but to late.

The Clintons are toast. The elite – the McCains were deer in the headlights.

Our nation is being run by a bunch of Uber Left Freaks, all courtesy of Puppet Master Soros. Our nation is being weakened daily through finance, military and god knows what else, maybe even intelligence.

We’ve been had… more people care about a pervert like Michael Jackson, than if Obama screws over America and the world(Honduras, Iraqi people)for his leftist goals.

Its not that I do not appreciates some of your positions here. At least you see what is happening now and are responsding, good.

But you need to fact facts. Our country has been taken so far left, so dumbed down by media and terrible schools for the last 40 years, our nation is ripe for massive failure.

And neither side, the Republicans or Democrats – even some well-meaning seem to have any power to stop Obama’s march to death for America as we once knew it.

I never thought our nation could be defeated externally, but realized internally we could fail.

The ACLU, ACORN, Unions, and now the money guys, Soros, etc., are coming close to making America a so-so country. This is what the world wants, it is what Obama wants. He afterall – is a “world” citizen.

He wants our nation to be just another nation, another mediocre peace of garbage like all socialist nations where humanism rules and blandness consensus opnions are the norm.

Funny, Hillary did her thesis on Saul Alinsky, correct? The Rules for Radicals author? The guy who said, use any means necessary? Well Hillary, you got your wish, the devils in the whitehouse and you serve him at any means necessary.

Wake up people. Our nation has been taken over by those that worship and honor themselves as mini-me gods. They have little room for your opinions or thoughts. Mediocrity is their call, Socialism their way, and you must now behave like robots to honor their victory.

Who else is supportive of Honduras?

Not USA ,Can ,Mex ,Argentina ,Chile,Ecuador ,not Bolivia , not Peru not even little right wing Columbia.

Is this an opportunity for oliver North to sellsome arms & ship the $$$to Iran?

BTW -leaders may be dismissed but citizens can not be expelled. Zelaya is a citizen & has rights too.

These are my exact sentiments. Its sad that Hillary is being marginalized.

Yes and if steps back in to Honduras he’ll be arrested for treason, as he should be…

At least he didn’t bow this time.

I can’t defend Hilary on this one. So I won’t.

But she chose not to work for Alinsky when he offered her one.

The Obama is supportive of Zelaya, aspiring dictator, because Obama too wants to challenge USA presidential term.

I wonder how all the kids that voted for Obama are fairing? I am sure no better financially as us wise folks that did not vote for the fraud.

Why do we send our troops into Afghanistan to shove Democracy down the throats of tribal people who do not want another way of life and never will, and yet we abandon the brave Iranian people and Hondurans who are fighting for freedom from dictators? Is it just to protect the poppies?

While I agree Zelaya tried to pull a fast one with the referendum I think caution is due.

If the US condones the military overthrow, albeit with the cooperation of the courts and the legislature, of a government where does that leave us?

It puts us in a position where any military overthrow of government may put us in an awkward position. Not all military coups are benign. But how could we protest?

Maybe a way forward would be to insist that the newly installed government hold elections. Then the will of the people (hopefully) will prevail.

Just my humble opinion.

I remember a while back the media talking about Hillary being so high in the polls. I also remember thinking that this is not going to go too well with the obama team,that they will undercut her..I wonder? I do agree hillary needs to find a way out because they want to destroy her.

Candymarl it was not the military that was the instigator, it was the recently “impeached”, president who sought to shred the constitution of Honduras.

So if in our country’s Declaration of Independence, it state that we are required to cast off tyrants and in our country the military oath is to protect and defend the constitution, what would our country do in a similar predicament?

If we had a president seek more than was constitutionally allowed and judged to be so by the highest court of our land and and even after he ignored the will of congress, would the military step up?

I am amazed at the MSM portraying Zelaya as the injured party on this. Democracy isn’t pretty.

Obama supports the dictators.

Absolutely. Zelaya has the right to be arrested the moment he sets foot in Honduras. The warrant has already been issued.

It is not so much that “he is agutless wonder” who is afraid to nstand up for what he beleives in. He is standing up for what he beleives by standing by Zelaya along with Castro, Chavez and Ortega.

The model of governence Zelaya wanted to import to the Honduras is identical to that practiced by his above named friends.

Unfortunately for us, it is also the model Obama intends for the U.S. All he needs is one or two more Cloward/Piven “manufatured crisis” to facilitate passage more unread “emergency” legislation, and we’ll be living that raelity as well.

Sorry, Larry, but on this issue, you are completely WRONG. Re-read what YOU wrote here:
[Zelaya's] plan to circumvent the Honduran Constitution and seek a referendum to allow him to follow the Cuban and Venezuela model of planting himself as a President-for-life. What Castro, Chavez and their communist allies did not count on was a coordinated pushback by the Honduran Supreme Court, Legislature and military.
For starters, Zelaya wanted a REFERENDUM. What does “referendum” mean? It means a VOTE. By the people of Honduras. (One could ask what does the Honduran Congress fear from allowing the people to vote on a matter that is, ultimately, of importance to them.) Should Zelaya have gone through “proper channels” (i.e., Congress) and requested the referendum? Certainly. But herein lies the second part of where you’re wrong on the issue.
There doesn’t seem to be ANYTHING in the Constitution of Honduras which allows either the Congress or the Supreme Court to initiate a coup. The Congress, fearing that their power was being usurped (the simple act of a President wanting the people to vote on a matter), chose to authorize the UNLAWFUL removal of a President from office (and then, even worse, expel him from the country) with the compliance of the Supreme Court.
The Congress should have allowed the referendum (or does the Congress not accept the people as having any real say in their political leaders?) and then held Zelaya to a result that would have been unfavorable to him. If Zelaya were this great boogeyman (that a number of right-wingers in this country are positioning him as), his ambitions would have been fully exposed to the entire international community to see. But, instead, the Congress chose to take a very extremist-style (I’m tempted to say Stalinist) action simply because the Congress got its collective feelings hurt. The Congress have decided that, apparently, the people of Honduras are not smart enough to determine who their President should be.
Also, I find it more than a little interesting that you choose to imply that Zelaya was positioning himself as a “President-for-life” because of this referendum. Currently, the President of Honduras is limited to a single 4-year term of office. Zelaya wanted the referendum to do away with that (very absurd) term limit. (I don’t find anything in the Honduran Constitution limiting the Congress to a single term. Admittedly, my Spanish legalese is a touch rusty, but I didn’t find anything that appeared to place term limits on either the Cognress or the Supreme Court.) Is Honduras well-served by limiting the term of its President? Given that country’s history of strongmen and military dictators, quite possibly. But a single four-year term seems pretty absurd, even for a country with such a short experience with real democracy.
Again, Zelaya’s term of office, as it stood prior to his attempt to have THE PEOPLE decide, had until January of 2010. And the actions of the Honduran Congress, the Honduran Supreme Court and the Honduran miliatary were completely antithetical to the very notion of democracy. And no matter how many right-wingers want to claim otherwise (and no matter how much you attempt to protest, Larry), democracy died in Honduras the very second that Zelaya was forced on that airplane by the military.
And, furthermore, no matter how much you hate Chavez, the man is NOT a Communist. An avowed Socialist? Yes. But, don’t fall into the lazy antics of the far-right nutjobs in this country who equate socialism with communism. You, of all people, should know better.

You expressed it better than I could…it makes me sick. We did predict this and never wanted her to step outside the Senate where she could hold her own rather than demeaning herself in Zero’s web of lies.

Maybe she needs to pull a Palin and become a citizen who puts Country Before Party and do her work under the radar.

I believe elections are scheduled for the not too distant future. Hopefully they’ll have time to make sure that they are not stolen the way ours have been.

Read this in the Scotsman.

Russian news agency Pravda was less than subtle in an editorial summing up the Obama administration, headlined: “Obama: Deceiver, cheat, swindler, liar, fraudster, con-artist.”

There is quite a bit more, I just liked that part.
For complete article:

I thank whatever God there may be for you candymarl. After reading the comments above, I hesitated to give MHO. Our government has supported so many military coups in South America and if I am not mistaken, Zelaya is the democratically elected president of Honduras.

Hugo Chavez is the democratically elected president of Venezuela. Did the US government support the coup against Chavez which lasted a couple of days before the people demanded their president be returned to power? And didn’t the people of Venezuela vote to not allow Chavez extend his term limits?

Didn’t GWB and Condi Rice push for an election in Palestine and then refuse to recognize the outcome of the election?

Daniel Ortega was defeated as president of Nicaruga in the 1980′s after interference by the US and the Contras being illegally armed by members of the Reagan Administration. He was recently re-elected by the people of Nicaruga.

Americans are so easily led into false assumptions often based on nothing more than a political party preference. If our government doesn’t like the outcome of an election, we feel it has the right to intervene.

Isn’t any one else the least bit suspicious of this coup or what will happen if it’s allowed to stand? How can so many of us “over the age of 40″ forget the US and CIA supported Fidel Castro when his revolution overthrew Batista and the Bay of Pigs fiasco which followed? Or the Soviet missiles placed in Cuba because our government didn’t know Castro was Communist and a friend of the USSR?

For those who have used this post as an opportunity to cast doubts on Hillary Clinton’s effectiveness as Sec of State and on the other hand defend Palin for leaving her position, I want to ask you who has the most strength? Hillary could have chosen to remove herself from public service, written more books and given speeches for money and her supporters would have understood because we have been witness to this crap for fifteen years or more. Believe what you want, but she obviously had influence with Obama on Iran.

dude ~ you lifted this whole cloth from an article on TNR… at least give credit where it is due.

I saw that pic, Medvedev was totally dissing 0bama. He wasn’t even looking 0bama’s way as the 0ne extended his hand.

This is bad.

there is no doubt that Barack Obama is well on his way to surpassing the record of incompetence established by Jimmy Carter.

this is becoming painfully clearer with each passing day. We all knew it, but to watch it unfold is painful and kind of terrifying.

I would also add to this that what Zelaya was actually proposing was a referendum to gauge the public opinion on whether or not they were interested in possibly holding a referendum on extending term limits for the President during the coming election. It was for all intent and purpose a poll of the people to determine how they wanted the country run. At which point it would then be voted on. You know…democracy.

And further, considering the Honduran constitution as it stands NOW only allows for one term of 4 years for it’s President with no ability to run again and Zelaya was at the end of his 4 years, what was being proposed at referendum would not relate to him as President because he wouldn’t actually be running in the election. It’s pretty tough to extend your Presidency for life if you’re not actually elected as the President.

But apparently democracy here at No Quarter and in Honduras doesn’t extend to the people having a voice on the direction of their own country. No it’s about the military at the behest of the supreme court deciding for themselves who stays and who goes.

This is a military coup, enforced by a moneyed elite oligarchy who didn’t like a left leaning president giving a voice to the people.

It’s nice to know that at No Quarter some military coups are considered GOOD military coups.

…Believe what you want, but she obviously had influence with Obama on Iran.

Right, like trying to convince a hard headed boy and then that hard headed boy had the temerity to make it appear that the idea was his.

Remember that for two days she tried to convince the Pres to toughen his stance on Iran. Then what?

When proposed by Zelaya, the referendum was legal as well. But when the congress heard about it, they convened and passed a law making referendums and plebiscites within 6 months of an election illegal.
One doesn’t dispute their authority to do this; whether their motive can be said to be democracy is another thing. Speaking for myself only: I want no part in the kind of democracy where laws are passed that take away people’s rights.
http://majikthise.typepad.com/majikthise_/2009/07/more-on-honduras.html

JosefAl you are right, the referendum is about the people making the decision….unfortunately it is the way democracies transitioned into dictatorships. Let me see..Hitler and Marcos.

Maybe the officials of Honduras know something we don’t and they are certain that Zelaya is being influenced by his marxist friends and the country is moving towards Dictatorship-light.

How can they figure him out and some Americans can’t?

If she’d have put country before party last year, I’m pretty sure she’d be President now. She should have run independent and brought her 18 million votes to start. She would have picked up all of those Republicans who didn’t like McCain and went Obama and I think the ones who couldn’t go for Obama and stayed home as well. I knew several Republicans who were so impressed with her energy and determination that they would have voted for her over McCain.

tzada, notice the body language of the russian? not that friendly!

i think the russians don’t like barky!

up, you are simply full of shix! most of us are former democrats who happen to be better informed and have critical thinking skills. neither of these seem to be gifts you have. back at ya!

so true political identity! it looks like sarah learned from hillary’s bad decisions.

i think back to the yelling and damnng of the united states by rev wright. he would be so proud of barky right now!

tzada: But, but…he announced that Russia and the U. S. agreed to slow the accumulation of nuclear weapons. Is that not new and startling? Isn’t it brilliant? To read the Kool-aid media one would assume that.

catherine: actually, they originated in L. A., created by illegals from El Salvadore, then moved to Honduras, etc. And yes, they are all over the U. S. and even in Canada and some European countries. It’s funny, you don’t hear that much about them anymore, now that we have the Mexican Drug Cartels entrenched in every major U. S. city.

Maybe legalizing drugs is the answer to the New Great Depression. They say it’s worth billions.

The irony is I would bet money that most of those supporting the military coup led and implemented by School of the Americas trained General Romeo Vasquez, head of the army & SOA trained Gen. Luis Javier Prince Suazo, the head of the Honduran Air Force, are doing so mostly because they believe BHO does not support the coup.
But he does support the coup.
Ours has been the weakest response of the 35 OAS members, and BHO via Clinton alone is calling for negotiation with the military regime. We are plainly desirous for coup members to remain in power even if Zelaya is reinstalled in Honduras, a fact which gives them standing. We have been called out for our weaseling by the President of UN General Assembly Miguel D’Escoto. Perhaps some in the US are not aware of our 2 faced dealings but many outside the US are.

Why is there no condemnation of the cutting off of electricity and access to news?
Why no word on the expulsion and prohibition against any media non-supportive of the coup? This includes the murder of Chilean journalist Gabriel Ciro Noriega and possible death of another journalist, last name of Montero BY MACHINE GUNS.
Why no coverage of the protests: protests in which at least one person has been killed?
Why no condemnation of the others kidnapped at the same time as Zelaya, including the Foreign minister, 3 ambassadors, and Cesar Ham??
No-one knows where these people are.

Also, (plz pardon machine translation, it’s a little crazy; I cannot speak or read spanish):
Chapter 1, Article 3: “No one owes obedience to a usurper government or to those who assume public office or employment by force of arms or by using means or procedures that violate or are unaware of what the Constitution and the laws. Verified by acts such authorities are zero.
the people have the right to resort to insurrection in defense of constitutional order.”

Chapter 2, Article 71: “No person may be detained or imprisoned for more than twenty-four hours without being put on the order of competent
authority for trial. Court to inquire detention may not exceed six days after the occurrence thereof.”

Chapter 2, Article 101: “Honduras recognizes the right of asylum in such form and manner established by law as applicable under the Act to
revoke or not to grant asylum, in no case to expel asylum or political persecution, to the territory of the State which may be claimed. The
State does not allow the extradition of prisoners on political and related common.”

Chapter 2, Article 102: “Article 102 .- No Honduran expatriate may be delivered either by the authorities to a foreign state.”

admin: Spaminator has eaten my comment.

stodgie so true. It always amuses me to hear every young person in our family who is an Obamabot repeat the same vicious slanders about the Clintons that B O circulated during the election. These kids know nothing of those times, they were babes. They are willing to believe that a person closer to their generation must be smarter. My son actually said to me that Bill Clinton looks awful, he looks old! I asked him if he thought that because Obama looks like a celebrity it made him a better political leader. He got offended.

You obviously do not understand how many tourists visit Chicago every year and how much money they pour into the city coffers. (little joke) But Chicago is a HUGE tourist draw.
