Barack Obamas foreign policy blundering is now verging on the surreal. When Manuel Zelaya, the socialist president of Honduras, was overthrown, Obama first declared himself deeply concerned, then denounced the coup as illegal; now, with the support of the Obama White House, the Organisation of American States has given Honduras a three-day deadline to reinstate Zelaya. This is madness.
Zelaya was unseated by the army, but this was no ordinary military coup. The armed forces were carrying out a decision of the Honduran Supreme Court after it had declared unconstitutional a referendum Zelaya was attempting to hold to extend the length of time he could stay in office. This is a well-known ploy among leftist Latin American leaders in the mould of Hugo Chavez, the Marxist president of Venezuela.
By declaring that the Honduran constitution does not permit such a populist coup by the president, the Supreme Court was upholding the rule of law. Zelaya was attempting to subvert it. By removing him, the army upheld the constitution. Does Obama believe he has the power to overrule the US Supreme Court and the American Constitution by extending his period in office by plebiscite? If not, why should the Honduran constitution be disregarded by that countrys president?
Zelaya is a Chavez-style leftist, aiming at taking Honduras out of the American sphere of influence and into alliance with Marxist Venezuela. Now it emerges his strongest ally is the American president. This is perverse beyond belief and deeply damaging to Americas interests. I ask again: why does Barack Obama hate America?

good question- but I think we suspect the answer and no one will touch it

Traitor...No telling now what he’s gonna do.
In light of the national disgrace that is our government in both Houses and the White House, please take the time to watch this and reflect on our nation and those that pay the ultimate price.
Kleenex Alert:
Killed in action the week before, the body of Staff Sergeant John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City Georgia, just south of Atlanta, on June 11, 2009. The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough Georgia. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time.
Nowadays one can be led to believe that America no longer respects Honor and that outside of the military, no one honors the sacrifices by members of the military. Be it known that there are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and sacrifices of the men and women in uniform. Georgia remains one of those graceful places.
The link below is a short travelogue of that day’s remarkable and painful journey. Watch this film clip if you wish to have your faith in people restored.

Tough to watch. Thank God for heroes like Sgt. Beale.
This is the latest rumor going around in Venezuelan opposition circles:
Venezuela’s former Minister of the Interior, Ramón Rodríguez Chacín, is in Nicaragua since June 25, and is rumored to be coordinating actions by the Nicaraguan and Venezuelan militia to execute acts of sabotage and generate riots and popular upheavals in some parts of Honduras. It is word of mouth that he might already be in Honduran territory with a false identity (something he is an expert at). He is presumed to be following the direct orders of President Hugo Chávez. He may already have y infiltrated a large number of Venezuelan civilians and élite Army comandos into Nicaragua, who also have false identities and are ready to enter Honduran territory when required.
If this turns out to be true, Mr. Obama may be playing with fire. He, along with his terrorist cronies (Chávez, Ortega, Castro and the OAS, will be guilty of bloodshed in Honduras. Even though it is a small country, it is a giant if it is measured by its peoples’ dignity. Remember Horton’s words: “A person is a person no matter how small”.
He has surrendered America to the 911 bombers.
It is painful to see. I almost had a heart attack on 9/11 since, before moving to Venezuela to be with my husband, I worked on the 100th floor of the WTC. I fear that Mr. Obama might be defending Zelaya because he might want to violate our Constitution in the near future and might need Chavez’s advice to do it. We have to have a watchful eye.
What would Soros do??? The only question Lord Zero would ask.......
...The head of the Metropolitan Police in Tegucigalpa, Leandro Osorio said in a press conference that over the past two days have been arrested seven Nicaraguans and Cubans to enter the country illegally for allegedly taking part in demonstrations and cause riots.
He said the Cuban, not identified, was passing by a deaf mute, but later it was discovered that it was not.

well the question of the day is, ‘or else what’?
if America joins forces with Venezuela and Cuba against peaceful Hondurans, by Zero decree, well, I’d say that’d be an impeachable offense and a decree our military would not follow.
Let’s see if our Supreme Court and legislative branch have the same courage as their Honduran counterparts have shown.....
“I ask again: why does Barack Obama hate America?”

Because he wasn’t born an American.
Bookmark for later ... gotta share this.
Is the UK losing its affection for the 0ne?
Incredible.
I can hardly see my screen.
“well the question of the day is, or else what?”
I guess we will find out in less than 48 hours. Zelaya is planning to return on Saturday July 4
