The anti-Zelaya protestors appear to have much larger numbers than the pro-commie dudes doing their photo op poses...

Well that was not his exact words but in essence when blaming the USA the buck stops with the resident (not a typo do not consider him eligible to be president). Anyway wheres the "Love" he was supposed to bring from his fellow Dictators to America?
Military Coup Detat in Honduras; Chavez Blames US for Involvement Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, who was arrested by soldiers earlier on Sunday, is in Costa Rica and has asked for asylum, CNN's Spanish-language channel reported, citing the Costa Rican government.
Zelaya, an ally of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, had provoked a political crisis after seeking to hold a consultative vote on constitutional reforms that a court ruled was illegal.
Representatives of American nations are holding an emergency meeting Sunday at 1500 GMT to address the situation in Honduras where President Manuel Zelaya was arrested, the Organization of American States said.
An OAS official confirmed ambassadors were already holding private meetings just ahead of the emergency session at the regional body's headquarters in Washington and that the Honduran ambassador to the OAS, Carlos Sosa Coello, was expected to speak at the gathering.

Get real .... Obama never met a Leftist totalitarian dictator that he didn’t like. The official U.S. position is ... Re-instate the Dictator, screw the people...
I tell you this country’s best days are behind it for sure. No longer can anyone say that we are a beacon for those searching for Freedom and Libery.
Obama has extinguished the light of Liberty that has been held high for so long.

Look what the guy was trying to change the constitution so that he could serve more terms... Kind of like we can expect from Obama in the near future....
Agreed!
In all this chatter about the “coup” in Honduras, the reality is that the Chavists in this country and in Latin America are getting ready to mount a coup, to impose a Chavist president on the Hondurans.
Zelaya was impeached and removed for his attempt to throw out the Honduran constitution. If only the Venezuelans had had the grit to do the same. Chavez threw out the Venezuelan constitution, fired the Supreme Court, and fired the congress all on the same day, and he did it from the podium on inauguration day. The congress and Supreme Court ought to have immediately in that moment ordered his arrest; instead they shrugged and cleaned out their desk drawers and went home. Thats how a dictator takes power, when good people shrug and let him.
And the pro-commie dudes held their rally at the Venezuelan embassy. D’oh.
That is just too damn funny..thxs
Obama would be opposed to Chavez overthrow you can bet your house on that
VZ has much more military power than we think (Iran has been supplying them with tons of goodies) but I don’t think they’d dare attack unless they get the go-ahead from Obama. I was wondering if he’d try sending US troops into Honduras, where we already have a base, to try to restore the Commie Zelaya.
I hope not, but I think that might be his goal.
he United States, he said, will work the Organization of American States and other bodies to try to resolve the conflict peacefully.
The OAS was holding an emergency session on the crisis Tuesday.
Most Americans, I hate to say, are too fat, lazy and ignorant to appreciate what it is that our representative republican form of government protects us from and gives us opportunities for.
‘the Organization of American States and other bodies to try to resolve the conflict peacefully.’
From everything I’ve read, the matter WAS handled peacefully. The military took the President, didn’t harm him as far as we know, and got him out of the way so the country could return to semi-normalcy. The final judgement on this matter was rendered by the Honduran Supreme Court and the country’s Congress according to Honduran law. All in all, Honduras gets an ‘A’ for taking a bad situation and dealing with it without a bloodbath taking place.
I don't either, and I don't think it would be done with uniformed troops. It would be done with rioters to make the country ungovernable, a solid wall of press hysteria, aid money above the table and suitcases of money under the table.
Having written that, it strikes me that it sounds a lot like the ACORN model, which sounds a lot like the Chavist model. I suppose by now its textbook stuff.
I don't know if they will do it, but if they do, thats how I think it would be done. Something similar is how they did it in Bolivia, and Ecuador.
Especially the younger ones. This age group is now experiencing their first DOWNTURN in the economy( I have been thru 3 now on to the 4th). We shall soon see if they can handle it.
I came into the work force in the mid-’70s so I know just what they’re in for. Maybe that will help them realize that liberal policies don’t work.
