Given the pathological lack of common sense that most “0” sycophants demonstrate, I don’t believe his character flaws and stupidity will matter much to them.

Honduras has supplied the prism through which Zero’s true colors may be sorted.

Excellent article.

It's very disturbing that Zero is flaunting his Marxist ideology so blatantly. Of course the MSM is twisting and spinning this into a "standing for democracy" tale that couldn't be farther from the truth.

But, what's really unsettling is, the author's close..."And along with Chavez, Obama seems to dislike the idea of a military upholding its nation's constitution and ousting a would-be tyrant. I wonder why?

Will we see the same scenario played out here where Zero actually tries to pull the same crap?

Obama has sided with a thug, a man who -- for completely self-serving reasons -- sought to subvert his nation's constitution.

That's because Obama fully intends to completely subvert our Constitution.

Most FR’s have picked up on the “liberal” tag tied to this piece which of course it is not. While some FRs called it fascism,(which it is technically). The problem is most Americans don’t even know what the hell socialism is even though they are going through its implentation right now. So in using that term fascism requires explaining the subtle differences between it and nazism and communism why not call it socialism which is its root.

There is a trend which seems to be directed by some strategy circles in the hit them with a puny fist GOP not to use the term “socialist” but apply the term “liberal” which is a softer appelation when radical or socialist should apply.

The Organization of American States gives Honduras coup leaders 3 days to restore President Manuel Zelaya to power or face suspension.
How are they going to react when the political tides in this country return to normal?

And I think most fail to appreciate the gravity of what I will not even call a policy, but an offense.

This is an excellent article. Democracy without the rule of law becomes mobocracy in no time at all, and that's exactly what Honduras was trying to avoid (although Zelaya did not even appear to have huge popular support, simply a very dedicated, Chavez-financed group of activists willing to do things anything to violate the established procedures).

Good observation. The problem is that the press, with its distortions, is blocking the view of the prism.

They’re hoping to consolidate their power before another election comes up in the US and things can return to normal.

Massive pressure is being put on Honduras. The World Bank, for example, is suspending its loans. They want to crush Honduras so none of the rest of us get any ideas.

"Liberalism" is purported by its supporters to be "for the people," or even better, "for the little man," but in reality, it's generally an autocratic, authoritarian system, masquerading as populism. It tends to be highly caste based, and while those at the top claim to support ideals such as "democracy" and "freedom," they're actually anti-freedom and liberty, as can be seen by their support of the "common good" over individual rights and liberty. While they claim to "support minorities," the ultimate minority is the individual, and liberal governments have a long and brutal history of attacking the individual, "for the good of the collective" or the state. At that point, the individual becomes the slave of the state.

Micheletti also enjoys wide support, from the rank-and-file to the those breathing rarified air in elite institutions.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Those supporting Micheletti are Marxists.

We are is a serious philosophical and political struggle that is world-wide. The struggle is between those who favor economic freedom and Marxism. Without economic freedom there is no personal freedom either. There is only slavery to the state. Sadly, few people realize that there is a serious philosophical war raging.

I was in Costa Rica two summers ago when they had the TLC vote ( the free trade agreement with the U.S.). I was **appalled** at the Marxist rhetoric used by the opposition, and how close the vote was. I am shocked by what I hear in the U.S. from Obama and his minions.

Kruschev was right. The U.S. ( and the world) will fall to communism without firing a shot.

Listen to the former KGB spy, Yuri Bezmenov has to say about “demoralization”.

Solution: If we are in the situation were in now, ( worldwide) through “demoralization”, then the **only** solution is “remoralization”. Conservatives must get busy.

Demoralization will continue for as long as conservatives turn their children over to the government K-12 schools for their Marxist indoctrination ( oops! “schooling”).

It will continue for as long as conservatives **refuse** to provide tuition-free alternatives to all the nation's children.

It will continue for as long as conservatives allow government K-12 government schools and Marxist dominated colleges and universities to remain open.

If “demoralization” caused the problem, then it will only be “remoralizaton” that will save it.

By the way, the **only** conservatives I know under 45 are those who have been mugged by reality. The rest continuing to be Useful Idiot liberals who are still functioning on the Marxist principles taught to them during their their government school and college indoctrination.

When are they going to arrest Obama for being illegal as POTUS and Hillary for campaign fraud?
