The GOP should come out in support of the Honduran freedom fighters in their struggle against communism.

Capitalism and freedom are on the march, and it is disgusting that the red sons of bitches in control of the United States government have the audacity to speak and act surreptitiously against it.

The GOP? LOL... I think John McCain and Lindsay Graham are probably in a race to see who can be the first one to issue a statement agreeing with Obama that the thug president should return.

"Honduran freedom fighters"

More like the Attorney general and The Supreme Court.
The real Coup d’état was coming from Zelaya and Chavez.

It appears that Hillary and Mr. Obama do not respect Honduras rule of law, Constitution, or sovereignty.

"That Mr. Zelaya acted as if he were above the law, there is no doubt. While Honduran law allows for a constitutional rewrite, the power to open that door does not lie with the president. 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. The Supreme Court ruled his referendum unconstitutional, and it instructed the military not to carry out the logistics of the vote as it normally would do.

The top military commander, Gen. Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, told the president that he would have to comply. Mr. Zelaya promptly fired him. The Supreme Court ordered him reinstated. Mr. Zelaya refused.

Calculating that some critical mass of Hondurans would take his side, the president decided he would run the referendum himself. So on Thursday he led a mob that broke into the military installation where the ballots from Venezuela were being stored and then had his supporters distribute them in defiance of the Supreme Court's order.

The attorney general had already made clear that the referendum was illegal, and he further announced that he would prosecute anyone involved in carrying it out. Yesterday, Mr. Zelaya was arrested by the military and is now in exile in Costa Rica."

Exactly. The GOP needs to loudly point out the inept and hypocritical foreign policy of this administration. It is amateur night and the growing 'axis of evil' smells the weakness.
