Zelaya’s Removal: Necessary and Proper

Yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met privately with former president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya. Afterward, she announced that the crisis in that nation would now be mediated by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, saying, “We hope at the end of this mediation there will be a return of democratic constitutional order that is agreed to by all concerned.”

It’s time to take off the gloves: Mrs. Clinton is lying. “[D]emocratic constitutional order” has in fact already been returned to Honduras, no thanks to her boss, Barack Obama. And then only because Manuel Zelaya was impeached and removed from office by the Honduran Congress, and his attempt at rewriting the nation’s Constitution halted by the Supreme Court.

Zelaya’s removal was in fact the only legal outcome that could occur under law. And it was also necessary in order to maintain the constitutional administration of government in Honduras. What happened?

Zelaya was impeached by the Supreme Court, and the military enforced the order.
End of story.

I just wonder, if an American president was successfully impeached and stripped of office and he refused to leave, who would remove him, and would this constitutional exercise suddenly be called a ‘coup’?

(I guess it depends on which party the president was a member of.)

The really scary thing is that Resident Obamah & Hillary know this and still support the Hugo Chavez dictator-for-life wannabe!

I was surprised to see an editorial in the paper this morning with the headline, “Obama is wrong to support Zelaya”. They got it right for once.

The Arizona Republic.

That’s great! I remember back when my friend Loyal Meeks was the editorial page editor of that newspaper, it was one of the top conservative papers in the country.

Phil Boas is now the editorial page editor. It's not conservative anymore (on most issues). On page 3 today, they ran a picture and the caption was, "Sergio Juarez joins other demonstrators outside the Honduran consulate in Phoenix, where they were protesting Tuesday against the military coup in Honduras."

Surprised Boas let the editorial get through. The good people of Honduras have to close ranks and totally ignore people like Boas and Obama until the whole thing blows over and the lefties find some other country to rape and pillage for being free.
