Now THAT’S a Tea Party.
I have relatives in the legislature and they were dying to get rid of this guy. Im glad they did.
Surely he or she must be behind all this.
Finally an article that doesn’t push the “coup” propaganda.
A constituent assembly can only be called through a national referendum approved by its Congress.
But Mr. Zelaya declared the vote on his own and had Mr. Chávez ship him the necessary ballots from Venezuela.
And Hillary And Mr. Obama approve....
Wouldn’t our own military be obliged to do the same if 0bama continues to ignore the Constitution? They swore oaths to defend the Constitution, not Obama’s reign.
Well at least the HONDURAN MILITARY have the balls to replace their Marxist. [...sigh...]
Tell the leftist when they talk about this..... think Nixon and the tapes if he had defied congress and the Supreme Court orders...what would have to happen?
So the Military saved Democracy in Honduras? Think maybe that will happen here? Because our Republic is dying.
Amazing.
The first headline I’ve seen that is accurate - the lib MSM calling it coup.
It’s kinda nice when the truth wins!
I hope we see it here sooner than later.
Need something amusing to start your week?
Go read the article and substitute the word Obama for for the word Zelaya.
The future? Given the past and given the last five months, IMHO, certainly a possibility.
We should be taking notes on how the Hondurans got rid of their president for abusing the constitution. It may come to that here.
Hillary objects when the military steps in to support the Honduran constitution?
What delightful irony!
May she benefit from the example.
Mr. Obama had better take a good look. This could be him in the future. Imagine him being tried in military tribunal. He is after all head of the military. He doesn’t get the same rites, and evidence is more easliy admitted in military tribunals.
We had all better be paying close attention to how this unfolds:
Honduran president Zalaya called a referendum for the purpose of amending the constitution to permit him to stay in office indefinitely. In “US speak” he amended the constitution by executive order to avoid having to go through the amendment process legally.”
The Honduran attorney general called out the military to prevent a coup de etat, of the style commonly termed “autocoup” or “self-coup,” by president Zalaya. He appears to have acted on instruction of the Honduran supreme court which quickly endorsed the action.
The military and the courts acting together announced an election this fall for the purpose of legally and constitutionally electing a new president, and a takeover of Honduras by Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez - both exactly what Zalaya was atttempting to accomplish.
THE POINT: Presidents Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Oscar Arias Sanchez of Costa Rica, Cristina Fernandez of Argentina and several other lesser leftist lights of latin america quickly denounced the action ALONG WITH president Barak Obama of the US.
Interestingly all four have the common problem of how to achieve the nullification of their constitutions in order to achieve their political goals.
Does anyone believe this is not a significant omen for americans?

The Honduran military, in cooperation with the Honduran Supreme Court and Attorney General, moved to prevent the president’s effort to illegally nullify the constitutional restriction against unlimited presidential term.
In “US speak” this is the equivalent of, “the military stepped in when the president tried, by executive order, to nullify the 22nd amendment (limitation of presidental term) when directed to do so by congress and the supreme court...”
Anyone wonder if this, and Obama and the state department’s nearly instant condemnation of this effort to preserve democracy in Honduras and their tacit support for the dictatorship in Iran, is NOT an omen for the US future?
