GOP Leaders Speak Out in Support of Democracy in Honduras - Video 7/10/09

Here is video of Republican leaders speaking out for Democracy in Honduras. They are seeking to support the people of Honduras against the actions of Manuel Zelaya. Zelaya was removed by the military after doing what the Honduran Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional. He was exiled to Costa Rica. Republicans support the people of Honduras who say Zelaya was seeking to become a virtual dictator, while President Obama has supported Zelaya, a vocal critic of the United States and close ally of Venezuela's dictator - Hugo Chavez.

Rep. Connie Mack has introduced a resolution to condemn Zelaya, and voice support for the people of Honduras. . . . . Once again, President Obama is choosing to pal around with the wrong people. The way to support democratic principles is to support the people of Honduras when they refuse to allow a would-be tyrant to trample their constitution. . . . . (Watch Video)

Bless their hearts.

But, is this going to be reported by ANYONE on the TV news or in newspapers??? They’re all still saying it was a “military coup”, that deposed the “rightful” president of Honduras...

At the end of June Thaddeus McCotter was demanding to know if Zelaya was involved in drug trafficking and opposing putting a drug smuggler back in office. And where was the media?

This article from the Honduran constitution ought to be included so that brilliant constitutional lawyers like Zer0 and Hildebeast can contemplate it.

ARTICLE 42 .- The quality of citizen is lost:

1. 1. Por prestar servicios en tiempo de guerra a enemigos de Honduras o de sus aliados; For service in wartime enemies of Honduras or its allies;

2. 2. Por prestar ayuda en contra del Estado de Honduras, a un extranjero oa un gobierno extranjero en cualquier reclamación diplomática o ante un tribunal internacional; For assistance with the State of Honduras, an alien or a foreign government in any diplomatic claim or before an international tribunal;

6. 6. Por residir los hondureños naturalizados, por más de dos años consecutivos, en el extranjero sin previa autorización del Poder Ejecutivo. Naturalized Honduran resident for more than two consecutive years abroad without prior approval of the Executive.

En los casos a que se refieren los numerales 1) y 2), la declaración de la pérdida de la ciudadanía la hará el Congreso Nacional mediante expediente circunstanciado que se forme al efecto. In the cases referred to in paragraphs 1) and 2) the declaration of loss of citizenship will file the National Congress through circumstances that formed for the purpose.

Same place the news media was when drug smuggler Jorge Cabrera was dining with Clinton, and giving him big campaign contributions...

Even with my poor Spanish, I understood what was written. Why can’t Bambi and Hill understand?

How much longer is Hill going to last before she blows a gasket and lashes out at Obama?

0bama and Hillary understand it very well. They’re Marxist communists and support their own. If Hillary does anything in regards to 0bama it will be to position herself to run against him.
